If you've ever read the book (very funny, quite touching at times), you'd
know that it is set in the Barrens area of Canada, north and west of
Churchill.

As a postscript, I'd always thought that the book was very truthful, and that
Farley Mowat must be universally thought well of.  Hah.  In a recent interview,
he said that not only was he not alone on the trip, but he had his wife with
him.  In fact, he was fired from the job because of alleged improprieties, such
as flying his wife at government expense in order to do some shopping.  Also,
many Canadians feel him to be quite a pain in the ass.  Still, it's an 
outrageous book and well worth an evening.
