Return to the Drum is a story about survival—the survival of a people and their way of life. Focusing on the history of the Sahtuot’ine of Great Bear Lake and the struggles that follow their first encounters with Euro-Canadians in the 1800s, Miggs Wynne Morris weaves together their story with her own.
Miggs Wynne Morris was born in North Wales and arrived in Canada in 1963. Since then she has lived in many places, including<:> Abbotsford, BC<;> Fort Franklin, NWT<;> Saskatoon, Saskatchewan<;> Churchill, Manitoba<;> and London, Ontario. She has been a teacher, a Language Arts Consultant, a vice<>principal, and a principal of a specialized school for disturbed children. A well<>travelled woman who has had many adventures and who admits to hitch<>hiking in the 1960s, Morris leads a quieter life (for the time being) in rural southern Ontario.
