Christian Leden was born near Trondheim, Norway. As well as being a trained musician, Christian had also studied anthropology. He learned the language of the Greenland Eskimos, recorded their songs, took film and photographs, and collected artifacts for museums. He also recorded the music of Blackfoot Indians in Alberta. He sailed for Hudson's Bay in 1913, where he arranged to live and travel with the Keewatin Eskimos. His diary of his years there is the basis of this book.
