Publisher's summary

“It was a different crow, but the same crow, you understand? Because there is only one Crow. God made them all black and identical-looking because there is no reason for them to be different birds. That’s why you can never kill a crow, because it lives forever. Crow never dies!” (James Itsi)

For over 50,000 years, the Great Hunt has shaped human existence, creating a vital spiritual reality where people, animals, and the land share intimate bonds. Author Larry Frolick takes the listener deep into one of the last refuges of hunting societies: Canada’s far north. Based on his experiences travelling with First Nations Elders in remote communities across the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, this vivid narrative combines accounts of daily life, unpublished archival records, First Nations' stories and Traditional Knowledge with personal observation to illuminate the northern wilderness, its people, and the complex relationships that exist among them.

Critic reviews

“…informative, insightful, thoughtful, thought-provoking, and consistently compelling from beginning to end.… Crow Never Dies is unreservedly recommended for personal, community, and academic library Canadian Aboriginal Culture reference collections…” (John Burroughs, Reviewer's Bookwatch)

“The author writes with obvious delight, indeed lyricism, about the people and the environment… To potential readers who have a love for the Arctic, its landscapes, seasons, and peoples, I highly recommend this beautifully composed and lyrical description of the traditions and way of life that struggle to keep their place in the modern world.” (John Andrews, Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research)

“[P]art travelogue, part philosophical inquiry, part participant-observation ethnography - and a wholehearted celebration of the North. Crow Never Dies is laid out in four sections, documenting cultural events and subsistence activities associated with each season.... Every chapter is built around personal conversations with Northern elders, hunters, and story-tellers.... [R]eaders looking for a refreshing and off-the-beaten-path look at Canada’s warming North, will not be disappointed by Crow Never Dies.” (Kelly Shepherd, The Goose, Vol. 15:2)

profound book

this book is worth the read/listen if you would like to renew a bond with nature and the natural world. He presents the narrative that is thought provoking and gives a glimpse of the boreal forest as always being in flux, like a quantum mechanics of the natural world. I loved it
