Breaking Trail

Fran Hurcomb Old Town Press October 2020

Moving to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, in the spring of 1975, Fran Hurcomb quickly became immersed in an adventure that would last a life‐time. Breaking Trail consists of 14 semi‐autobiographical stories set in and around Yellowknife and the Great Slave Lake area from 1975 to the late 1980s. It is filled with humour and warmth, and is a wonderful chronicle of life, sometimes funny and sometimes challenging. Underlying many of the stories is her 20‐year infatuation with sled dogs and dog teams. To order the book, contact Fran by email at franhurcomb@gmail.com Niqiliurniq A Cookbook from Igloolik

The Ancestors Are Happy

David Pelly Crossfield Publishing January 2021 The ancestors are happy, say Inuit elders, when the stories from the land are told, and retold, and preserved. In this new book by the same name, seasoned Arctic writer David F. Pelly masterfully weaves a landscape of personal tales from Inuit elders whose lives collectively span the 20th century, a period of remarkable transition for the North. It draws on the author’s experiences and encounters over 40 years of living, travelling, and learning in Nunavut. At the core is an exploration of Inuit cultural tradition, oral‐history and traditional knowledge.

Carrying a good selection of northern titles.
