THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, Chief Trader James Anderson makes his way home from the Arctic Sea, heading south for the safety of Great Slave Lake before the Northern winter blows in. His men are paddling hard and making good time, and they reach Lake Garry in safety, though they have a long way yet to go. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-lake-garry/

No card in my camera so I used the drone zoomed in. Arctic Hare by Inuksuuk. (One inuksuk, two inuksuuk, more than two inuksuit). These were made by qallunaq (non-Inuit) during construction of the airport. #Nunavut #wildlife

It was time for the HBC men under Chief Trader James Anderson to begin their journey home from the Arctic Sea before winter set in, but even while they were heading south, they continued their search for signs of Sir John Franklin's men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #Arctic https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/journey-home/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Spooky! The story of a ship, supposedly a poem about the Erebus--that is, the ship that Sir John Franklins men were on. It cannot have been true, of course, but it is very much a part of the story of the search for Franklin's men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #Arctic https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/story-of-a-ship/

Black-Inuk woman traces history of Black settlers in the North in pursuit of answers to racial divisions today | CBC News

Jaelyn Jarrett remembers moving from Nain, N.L., to Ontario as an eight-year-old when she heard, for the first time, the word ‘Puatugi’. That memory led the Carleton University master’s student on a journey to trace the origin of the word, which she hopes could offer answers to racial divisions today.
