Canoeing with the Cree

Sevareid's memoir captures a profound connection to the land and culture. I'm curious how much of this was planned versus spontaneous during the trip.

The descriptions of the landscape and interactions felt so genuine — did it evoke similar feelings of respect and wonder for others reading it?

Given the period when Sevareid traveled, I wonder how much of his perspective was shaped by the era’s attitudes and how that influences the story today.
