ESKIMO SAGA
PEOPLE OF THE DEER, by Farley Mowat; Michael Joseph. English price, 15/-. CANADIAN returned serviceman : with a thirst for a different life, Farley Mowat found it among the Ihal|miut, a tribe of inland Eskimo living
p, ¥ on the great migratory herds of caribou | of the Barreris, North-west from Hudson Bay. Mowat paints an enthralling picture of a hard way of life in this vast, empty land. He slips easily into the denunciatory vein, for contacts with Europeans have brought this attractive tribe within measure of extinction, and the Canadian Government does not seem to have used much insight or imagination in its infrequent dealings with these justsurviving pfimitives. This is the best travel bock I have read in a long time.
