    • Summary:"As the report of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry headed by Thomas R. Berger, the book explored the social, environmental and economic impact of building a natural gas and energy corridor from the Canadian Arctic to mid-continent. The controversial recommendations - pro-native and pro-environment - changed the attitudes of many Canadians towards development in the North as well as affecting opinion abroad ... including the eloquent testimony of native people. The revised edition of Northern Frontier, Northern Homeland - shortened by the deletion of outdated material - remains valid and valuable. A substantial new introduction by Thomas Berger brings matters up to date and offers his present view on the future of the North - and reminds us of Canada's opportunity to play a leading role in the preservation of the circumpolar basin." -- Back cover
