Uvattinnit. Le Peuple Du Grand Nord : The People Of The Far North"Between 1994 and 1996, I lived in a series of Inuit communities in Nunavut. The Inuit today live a modern way of life. Nonetheless, the Inuk remains profoundly linked with nature. Stronger than love, Inuit devotion to the tundra, the ice floes and the animals who inhabit them is truly a form of worship. 4000 years of survival amidst intense cold and extreme conditions has woven unbreakable ties between the Inuk and the natural elements. Word and gesture bear witness to the persistence of this bond"--Foreword. |
