Description

In 'Split Tooth' we are transported to a small Arctic town in the 70s. A girl knows joy, friendship and parents' love. She knows boredom, listlessness and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world. The raw, amoral power of the ice and sky. The seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the impacts of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power that eclipse’s all of us. Please note the book contains descriptions of sexual assault.

The author Tanya Tagaq is a renowned Inuk throat singer and novelist. Her work focuses on Indigenous issues so, this time we're meeting at Tea N Bannock, a restaurant serving indigenous and native cuisine. You're welcome to join even if you haven't read the book.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
