All have edge wear, chipping, small loss and short closed tears to tops and bottoms of jackets and spine, some overall dust and time staining, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, some slight offsetting to endpapers, none are price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copies for their age. Grey Owl was the name British born Archibald Belaney (1888-1938), chosen for himself when he took on a First Nations identity as an adult. Born in England and migrating to Canada in the first decade of the 20th century, Belaney rose to prominence as a notable author, lecturer and apostle of the wilderness. Adopted into the Ojibwe nation, Belaney learned native harvesting techniques and trapping skills. The pivotal moment of departure for his early conservation work was when he began his relationship with a young Iroquois woman named Gertrude Bernard, who assisted in his transition from trapper to conservationist. In working with the National Parks Branch, Belaney became the subject of many films, and was established as the 'caretaker of park animals' at Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba in 1931. Together with his numerous articles, books, films and lectures, his views on conservation reached audiences beyond the borders of Canada, challenging people to re evaluate their relationship with nature. His conservation views largely focused on humans' negative impact on nature through their commodification of nature's resources for profits, and a need for humans to develop a respect for the natural world. Although some conservationists have called his adoption of a First Nation identity fraudulent, recognition has included biographies, a historic plaque at his birthplace and a 1999 biopic about his life by the director Richard Attenborough.
