“My father was a hunter, a pilot and a natural born leader,” Larry Watt told Eye on the Arctic in a phone interview. The book is based on 30 hours of interviews with Bryant, with Larry acting as translator. His father’s recollections of the dog slaughter by police in the 1960s was just one example, Larry said. “I knew it had happened but not how much losing his dogs and traditional way of life impacted him,” Larry said. Potential for schoolsLarry Watt says he hopes this father’s experiences and accomplishment can inspire other Inuit and potentially be used in educational settings as well.
