Description

Explorer Jacques Cartier dismissed it as the land God gave to Cain, but generations of people from widely differing cultures living in dense wilde ess conditions have forged the people of Labrador into a thriving, vital culture of their own. Here are their stories in their own voices, written by the expert hand of a person whose heart's home is Labrador.

About the author

Lynne Fitzhugh first visited Labrador in 1969 when her archaeologist husband Bill was finishing his dissertation research and their son Ben was two. In 1971 she began spending the summers on the north Labrador coast as a cook and occasional surveyor for Bill’s expedition camps. She has since been returning to Labrador on a regular basis.
