Abstract
MR. JENNESS, as a member of the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913–18, spent two years with the Eskimo around Coronation Gulf. His headquarters were Bernard Harbour, and he made long visits to the little-known trade station in the south-west of Victoria Island. In these visits he cut himself off from the habits of the white man and lived the life of the Eskimo. The result is one of the most intimate studies of Eskimo habits and ways of life that has yet been published. He writes well, with sympathy for his friends and a real understanding of their problems. Although the book is meant for popular reading, it is one of the most valuable works on Eskimo life that has yet appeared. It adds much also to our knowledge of the natural history of the Canadian Arctic.
