Children of the Arctic

“Children of the Arctic” offers a rare glimpse into the lives of children living in the Arctic regions at the turn of the 20th century. Written by Marie Ahnighito Peary, daughter of the famous explorer Robert Peary, and Josephine Peary, this book provides intimate accounts and observations of Inuit children, their culture, and their daily lives.

Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, the authors portray the resilience and resourcefulness of these young individuals in the face of harsh environmental conditions. The book also sheds light on the unique customs, traditions, and social structures of the Inuit people, providing valuable insights into a culture far removed from Western society. “Children of the Arctic” serves as both a historical document and a testament to the enduring spirit of childhood, making it a compelling read for those interested in anthropology, history, and the human experience.
