Module 2 /post 2 : Mary Simon’s book

The other day I was trying to read about Mary Simon as I became very interested in who this woman is.  Her story as a successful Nanook member to break into the field of the media and how she has been trying to raise a lot of issues and concerns regarding the Nanook tribe as an entity that needs more attention than what is given now. I also was interest in her book   book Inuit: One Future One Arctic which was devoted to the cause of her tribe and their self-governing perspective. It is a great example of a reformist committed writer. It contains a good section of black and white pictures. Despite the fact that the book has no bibliography, it is still considered a great of source of information about the Inuit.
