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.
