Description
Sheila Watt-Cloutier's memoir is a courageous and revelatory account of her life in the Arctic reaches of Quebec. Born into an Inuit community, she recounts growing up in a traditional ice-based hunting culture, where the elders speak of the weather as Uggianaqtuq - behaving in strange and unexpected ways. As Watt-Cloutier navigates her place in the world, she finds her native land giving way to the inexorable warming of the planet. She takes a stand against its destruction, tracing her path from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential Indigenous environmental, cultural, and human rights advocates in the world. This memoir is the human story of life on the front lines of climate change, told by a woman who rose from adversity to make a profound impact on our understanding of the interconnectedness of Indigenous life, human rights, and the threat of climate change.
