In her account of the forced relocation of the Inuit people, Melanie McGrath illuminates the Inuit's quiet grace, their respect for their surroundings, and their ability to live in the most unforgiving environments. Unlike the portrait painted by the pseudo-documentary Nanook of the North, this is a story of a people tainted by fur traders and exploited for political gain. Akin to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Long Exile haunts you long after you have turned the last page.
