This comprehensive study focuses on the Barren Ground Caribou ("Rangifer arcticus arcticus"), exploring its significance to Northern Indigenous communities, its extensive migratory patterns, and ecological relations within the Keewatin region. The work delves into the life history of the caribou, its geographical distribution, and relationships with other species. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by highlighting the importance of the Barren Ground Caribou as a vital resource for numerous Indigenous tribes in North America. Harper shares insights into his expedition to Nueltin Lake in 1947, where he gathered firsthand observations about the animal's migratory behavior, particularly during the spring and fall seasons. The opening sections establish the caribou's critical role in the ecosystem and the intricate connections between migration patterns and environmental conditions, as Harper reflects on the knowledge shared by local inhabitants who have lived closely with these creatures.
