David Gray, Grayhound Information Services
An Arctic biologist and historian, David Gray has studied birds
and mammals in Canada's High Arctic since 1968. As a research scientist with the
Canadian Museum of Nature, he researched the behaviour of muskoxen, Arctic hare,
Arctic wolves, and red-throated loons. As an independent researcher since 1994,
he has prepared reports on Peary caribou, wolves, three northern national parks,
and the history of Arctic exploration. He has written three books: The Muskoxen
of Polar Bear Pass, Alert: Beyond the Inuit Lands, and The Implements of
Golf: a Canadian Perspective. David is a Research Associate at both the Canadian
Museum of Nature and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and was elected a Fellow
of the Arctic Institute of North America in 1991. In the fall of 2002, in the
course of preparing this virtual exhibition, David travelled to five Western Arctic
communities to visit sites related to the Canadian Arctic Expedition and to interview
Elders and descendants of members of the CAE.
