About the Author

   Alfred Aquilina was born in Valletta on the Mediterranean island of Malta.  As a young child he moved with his family to Exeter, Ontario, Canada where he grew up.  He graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree from the University of Western Ontario in London. He later continued his studies at York University in Toronto where he received his Master of Social Work Degree.
    His move to the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories in 1975 inspired him to research the rich history of the area.  As a supervisor and Regional Superintendent for the Department of Social Services he has lived in Aklavik, Inuvik and Fort Smith, and traveled extensively to all regions of the N.W.T.  It was this northern exposure that led Aquilina to write The Mackenzie - Yesterday and Beyond as well as a collection of poetry.
    His next move was to northern Alberta in 1981, and in 1986 to northern Ontario where he still lives. 
    Traveling throughout Canada in various capacities, Alfred Aquilina has had the privilege of spending much of his professional life working with Aboriginal communities.
