Walking on the land

In Walking on the Land, Farley Mowat returns to the Eastern Arctic and revisits the lives of the Barren-Ground Inuit (Ihalmiut) he first encountered decades earlier. Through a mix of personal journey and historical reflection, he captures both the majesty of the land and the hardship brought on by colonial policies, famine, and cultural upheaval.

With powerful prose, he weaves together memory, landscape, and advocacy—challenging what we know about survival, displacement, and the cost of contact between cultures. This is essential reading for anyone interested in Canadian literature, Indigenous history, and the Arctic environment.
