The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin

"The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin" by Francis Harper is a detailed scientific study about the Barren Ground Caribou and its crucial role in the Keewatin region. The book examines the animal's life, where it lives, and how it interacts with other species. Opening with the Indigenous people who rely on the caribou as a necessary natural resource, Harper shares insights into his 1947 expedition to Nueltin Lake, which allowed him to collect information on the caribou's migrating behaviors. The study looks at the caribou's migration patterns, how the environment affects them, and the knowledge of local people who depend on these animals.
