"TautukKonik / Looking Back shows the strength of our culture. It shows the strength of family and family connection. It was strong, the way that we lived. Our culture was strong, our language was strong. And this book shows that." — Julius (Joe) Dicker, Nain AngajukKâk / Mayor "The black-and-white photos themselves are part portrait, part documentary, and each shows an interconnectedness between Inuit, land, water and non-human animal.  - Erin Morton, Atlantic Books Today
