   I have a question for this group. Maybe somebody out there knows the
answer.
 
  Regarding "Paddle to the Arctic", by Don Starkle.  The author is paddling
north along the western shore of Hudson Bay and meets a local Indian. All goes
well until the local realizes that Don is writing a book. The local then clams
up. Apparently, sometime in the past, the local had met Farley Mowat in this
area and for some reason, they disliked Farley Mowat because of his writings. 
  I have read most of Farleys books regarding this area, (i.e. "People of the
Deer" & his arctic trilogy, etc.). I have always found Farley to be very
compassionate of these people. Is there something that I don't know about this
story?  Is there a book that I missed? 
  Maybe some worldly person out there will broaden my horizons.
