People of the Deer

People of the Deer, Farley Mowat's first book, was published in 1952. At the time, the story was already old, but the way in which Mowat told it was new.It's the story of white people disrupting and ruining Indigenous culture. What Mowat changed was the setting, the approach, and the tone: he was in the North, he was living with the ruined culture, and he was berating the white people who ruined it.
