Read it for a report on indigenous communities, I actually thoroughly enjoyed it and think it was informative if you go in knowing it is all written from the point of view of an outsider unfamiliar with Inuit culture.

I read this book years ago and would never have found it except it was part of a terrific series of books republished by Time/Life. I got a whole bunch of excellent works that way, which I probably would not have discovered elsewhere. Originally written in 1941, it describes an Inuit village and family as authentically and as sympathetically as possible. Highly recommended to everyone.
