"The mating ground of the southern herd of Baffin Island arctic Caribou. Only their ghosts remain, being wiped out by Inuit and "white" hunters with modern rifles, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, etc. The ghosts show with difficulty in their pale wan white.

This area is about ten miles north of where the Weasel River empties into the North end of South Dangnirtung Fiord. The Weasel River, except in Freshet, forms a thin blue line this side of the grayish flood plain at the base of the mountains. From 'plane flights. Sketched in July 1981, painted during 1982-3-4 on canvas"
