Over forty Inuit, Iñupiat, and Inughuit from three different Arcticcommunities contributed stories, original artwork, hand-drawn illustrations, maps, family photos, and even recipes to this book. Professional and historical photographs, childrens artwork, and innovative graphics add more to the story of The Meaning of Ice.The Meaning of Ice is an important contribution to understanding the Arctic and its people at a time when the region is undergoing profound change, not least in terms of sea ice. It takes readers beyond what sea ice is, to broaden our appreciation of what sea ice means. Author Biography SHARI FOX GEARHEARD is originally from southern Ontario, Canada.
