520    "In this captivating memoir, Whit Fraser weaves scenes 
       from more than fifty years of reporting and living in the 
       North with fascinating portraits of the Dene and Inuit 
       activists who successfully overturned the colonial order 
       and politically reshaped Canada--including his wife, Mary 
       Simon, Canada's first Indigenous governor general. "This 
       is a huge embrace of a book, irresistible on every level. 
       . . . I couldn't put it down." --Elizabeth Hay, Giller-
       winning author of Late Nights on Air In True North Rising,
       Whit Fraser delivers a smart, touching and astute living 
       history of five decades that transformed the North, a span
       he witnessed first as a longtime CBC reporter and then 
       through his friendships and his work with Dene and Inuit 
       activists and leaders. Whit had a front-row seat at the 
       MacKenzie Valley Pipeline inquiry, the constitutional 
       conferences and the land-claims negotiations that 
       successfully reshaped the North; he's also travelled to 
       every village and town from Labrador to Alaska. His vivid 
       portraits of groundbreakers such as Abe Okpik, Jose 
       Kusugak, Stephen Kakfwi, Marie Wilson, John Amagoalik, 
       Tagak Curley, and his own wife, Mary Simon, bring home 
       their truly historic achievements, but they also give us a
       privileged glimpse of who they are, and who Whit Fraser 
       is. He may have begun as a know-nothing reporter from the 
       south, but he soon fell in love with the North, and his 
       memoir is a testament to more than fifty years of 
       commitment to its people."--|cProvided by publisher.
