Summary:

The Arctic ice is receding each year, but just as irreplaceable is the culture, the wisdom that has allowed the Inuit to thrive in the Far North for so long. And it's not just the Arctic. The whole world is changing. Sheila Watt-Cloutier has devoted her life to protecting what is threatened and "The Right to be Cold" is a culmination of safeguarding the Arctic and the survival of Inuit culture. This is a human story of resilience, commitment and survival told from the unique vantage point of an Inuk woman who rose from humble beginnings in the Arctic to become one of the most influential and decorated environmental, cultural and human rights advocates in the world.
