The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin

The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin, written by Francis Harper and first published in 1849, is a scientific study of the Barren Ground Caribou (Rangifer arcticus arcticus) and its ecological significance in the Keewatin region of Nunavut. The book examines the caribou's migratory patterns, life history, and its importance to Indigenous communities in North America. Harper's firsthand observations from his 1947 expedition to Nueltin Lake provide valuable insights into the animal's behavior and its relationship with the environment and local inhabitants.
