"In August of 2009, I traveled to the far North to Taloyoak, Nunavut with my good friend Brian Cluff. He wanted to show me first hand how the Inuit people live off the land and just how beautiful and rugged Northern Canada's Arctic really is.

 

We spent 10 days on the Tundra - accompanying the Inuit as they hunted and fished – gathering their food stores to help sustain them through the up and coming winter. What I discovered is that although we have a different history, different tradition and lifestyle, we also have so much in common that we share.

 

On our last evening together while camping out on the land, I wrote this song for my new found friends and recorded it in our tent.

I dedicate this song to my "Northern Brothers"; John Porter, David Nanook, Gideon Nannuq, Johnny Tucktoo Jr. , Mark Lyall, Chuck Pizzo-Lyall, Simon Tucktoo and especially Brian Cluff, “Tuniq” is his given Inuktitut name, which means "Big Man". Thanks for taking me on the trip of a lifetime.

Sincerely, Jeff ........“Amaruq” (Inuktitut- meaning "Wolf")"
