ReviewsArctic Predator achieves profound insight into one of the most disturbing and dismaying series of events in Canadian Arctic history. This is a work of great scholarship and extraordinary depth. It sets out and seeks to understand how terrible crimes were committed by one evil man against individual children and the communities where they lived, and how the damage has spread deep and wide. Kathleen Lippa has written a book that is of huge importance and, at the same time, as accessible as it is revelatory. It is compelling and anguished and humane., "Arctic Predator" is the utterly gripping story of the dark side of colonialism and is not ever an easy read. At once riveting and horrifying, the true story of notorious northern serial predator Ed Horne's crimes against children reveals for the first time the full story of how for years he successfully posed as a dedicated teacher and supporter of the Inuit language and culture while ruthlessly robbing vulnerable youth of their innocence. Through exhaustive research and first person interviews, Kathleen Lippa's gripping book painfully exposes the failings of those of us who were there in the education establishment and knew Ed Horne - especially those who the author exposes as having cast blind eyes. And she gives voice to the children who never had the courage to speak of the horrors inflicted on them by this cunning, duplicitous and twisted demon or who were dismissed and ignored if they did. This important book, appropriately dedicated to the children of the North, is a chilling must-read., Arctic Predator is the utterly gripping story of the dark side of colonialism...

SynopsisThe shocking crimes of a trusted teacher wrought lasting damage on Inuit communities in Canada's Arctic. In the 1970s, a young schoolteacher from British Columbia was becoming the darling of the Northwest Territories education department with his dynamic teaching style. He was learning to speak the local language, Inuktitut, something few outsiders did. He also claimed to be Indigenous - a claim that would later prove to be false. In truth, Edward Horne was a pedophile who sexually abused his male students. From 1971 to 1985 his predations on Inuit boys would disrupt life in the communities where he worked - towns of close-knit families that would suffer the intergenerational trauma created by his abuse. Journalist Kathleen Lippa, after years of research, examines the devastating impact the crimes had on individuals, families, and entire communities. Her compelling work lifts the veil of silence surrounding the Horne story once and for all., The shocking crimes of a trusted teacher wrought lasting damage on Inuit communities in Canada's Arctic.
