Northern Passage: Ethnography and Apprenticeship Among the Subarctic Dene
"Jarvenpa presents a moving, sometimes tragic portrayal of people who live in an environment known for its demanding conditions, and in so doing captures an essence rarely found in ethnographic writing. This aspect of the book will appeal to anyone interested in the Subarctic, in particular how people have adapted and continue to adapt to its demanding and changing conditions. Personal accounts of fieldwork from the Subarctic are rare, and as such this book helps fill a gap.  (Arctic: Journal of the Arctic Institute of North America, Vol. 51, No. 4, December 1998)
