After arriving in Canada, Pryde spent three years working in Ontario and Manitoba where he learned to speak Cree before transferring to the Northwest Territories. After moving to the Arctic, determined to learn Inuktituk or Eskimo as it was than known, Pryde began writing his own dictionary after being given a poorly written dictionary by a Catholic Mission. Pryde began adopting the way of life of the Inuit and learned the skills to live off the land. He became fluent in communication after three or four years. He also fathered a number of children with Inuit women.
