Arctic predator : the crimes of Edward Horne against children in Canada's North / Kathleen Lippa.

Lippa, Kathleen, (author.).

Summary:

"The shocking crimes of teacher Ed Horne wrought lasting damage on Inuit communities in Canada's Arctic. In the 1970s, a young schoolteacher from British Columbia was becoming the darling of the Northwest Territories education department with his dynamic teaching style. He was learning to speak the local language, Inuktitut, something few outsiders did. He also claimed to be Indigenous -- a claim that would later prove to be false. In truth, Edward Horne was a pedophile who sexually abused his male students. From 1971 to 1985 Horne's predations on Inuit boys would shatter life in the communities where he worked -- towns of close-knit families that would suffer the intergenerational trauma created by his abuse. After years of research, journalist Kathleen Lippa examines the devastating impact Horne's crimes had on individuals, families, and entire communities. Her compelling work lifts the veil of silence surrounding the Horne story once and for all"-- Provided by publisher.
