	Books in Canada - Review
		HELGE INGSTAD's In the Land of Feast and Famine (McGill-Queen's, 364 pages, $39.95 cloth, $19.95 paper) depicts the life of the last Native and white hunters and trappers before air travel brought the vast expanse of Canada's Northwest Territories into the 20th century.
		Ingstad describes the fear of starvation and how it vanishes in the exhilaration caused by the appearance of the first caribou.
		Ingstad modestly declines to provide details, however, about the trappers' celebratory rituals after the season, which he says are unfit for print.

		Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad have described their archaeological work at L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, in paperback as a popular account of the evidence in support of the idea that Lief Erickson and other Nordic Greenlanders discovered and settled North America well before Christopher Columbus.
		The Ingstads’ work has included the discovery of the L’Anse aux Meadows site in about 1953, apparently the culmination of his work, and then the excavation of that site from 1961 through 1968, her work, a remarkable pursuit of their scholarly goals over at least two decades.
		Helge Instad argues, convincingly, that the Greenlanders sailed north along the western shore of Greenland, across the Davis Strait, and down the eastern shores of Baffin Island and Newfoundland, eventually finding the L’Anse aux Meadows site.
