| Keith, a nurse, and Muriel, a midwife, were barely into their twenties and fresh from England when they arrived 1,700 miles north of Edmonton, eager to put their brand new skills to work. Their clients were the Gwich'in people, who taught them how to snowshoe, choose a dog team and live off the land.These two young professionals were all the medical help available at the births of babies and the tragic deaths of other children; they were the first to tend gun-shot victims and deal with illnesses made worse by the isolation. Their story tells of caribou hunts, fishing in summer lakes and traveling in winter by dog team, of sun-returning parties, and drum-dancing and New Year feasts. |
