Ice ghosts : the epic hunt for the lost Franklin Expedition / by Watson, Paul,1959-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The true story of the greatest mystery of Arctic exploration and the rare mix of marine science and Inuit knowledge that led to the shipwreck's recent discovery. Ice Ghosts weaves together the epic story of the Franklin Expedition--whose two ships and crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice--with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the incredible discovery of the flagship's wreck in 2014. Paul Watson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was on the icebreaker that led the discovery expedition, tells a fast-paced historical adventure story: Sir John Franklin and the crew of the HMS Erebus and Terror setting off in search of the fabled Northwest Passage, the hazards they encountered and the reasons they were forced to abandon ship hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization, and the decades of searching that turned up only rumours of cannibalism and a few scattered papers and bones until a combination of faith in Inuit lore and the latest science yielded a discovery for the ages."--Provided by publisher.

Arctic predator : the crimes of Edward Horne against children in Canada's North / by Lippa, Kathleen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."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"--
