Abstract

  • Photographer Wilfred E. Richard spent half a life-time traveling and photographing the lands, people, and natural history of Maine, Canadian Maritimes, Labrador, Quebec, Baffin, Ellesmere, and West Greenland. In this autobiography he documents Smithsonian archaeological research and presents a passionate case for the sustainability of peoples, cultures, and environments of the Far Northeast facing in the face of rapid climate and environmental change and increasingly damaging human impacts.
