Farley Mowat: People of the Deer

People of the Deer


Description

In 1886, the Ihalmiut people of northern Canada numbered seven thousand; by 1946, when Farley Mowat began his two-year stay in the Arctic, the population had fallen to just forty. With them, he observed for the first time the phenomenon that would inspire him for the rest of his life: the millennia-old migration of the Arctic's caribou herds. He also endured bleak, interminable winters, suffered agonizing shortages of food, and witnessed the continual, devastating intrusions of outsiders bent on exploitation. Here, in this classic and first book to demonstrate the mammoth literary talent that would produce some of the most memorable books of the next half-century, best-selling author Farley Mowat chronicles his harrowing experiences. People of the Deer is the lyrical ethnography of a beautiful and endangered society. It is a mournful reproach to those who would manipulate and destroy indigenous cultures throughout the world. Most of all, it is a tribute to the last People of the Deer, the diminished Ihalmiuts, whose calamitous encounter with our civilization resulted in their unnecessary demise.

This irresistible book packages the charm of author Kaari Meng and her first-hand knowledge of what makes a beautiful, French-inspired home, which comes from years of combing French flea markets for unique accessories, linens and more. Her shop, French General, offers handpicked linens and collectibles from the South of France, plus an array of products to awaken the senses. In this book she distills her sought-after sensibility into 40 projects that bring the sights, scents and textures of the French countryside into every room of the house. It includes projects People of the Deer free epub such as lavender sachets, etched glasses, pillows, napkins, French potting boxes and herbal lotions. As an added bonus, the author has included a selection of her delightful signature-style vintage labels for the reader to use for gifts and decor, including hang tags, book plates and mailing labels.
