The old plates. When the NWT split into the NWT and Nunavut both territories wanted the old Polar Bear plates. Truthfully Nunavut had a much better claim as we have a more robust population of Polar Bears, throughout more of the area. But after a few years of both having the PB plates Nunavut decided to run a contest for new plates and this is what came of it.
We’ve now returned to PB plates although a different design of them. Somewhere I have NWT and Nunavut original PB plates. #Nunavut

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has uncovered, digitized and is making available a significant collection of original and innovative Inuit animation from Cape Dorset, Nunavut.
‘These newly uncovered reels run for more than 50 minutes and are made by 12 different filmmakers — nearly triple the number of reels first screened to the public in “Animation from Cape Dorset.”
“Think of it as a director's cut,” Fournier said. “All of [the reels] had never seen the light of day or had never gotten into any sort of acclaim or accreditation for the artists. So, being able to have this body of work, and being able to make it widely available to folks is really an exciting, exciting time.”’
Reel #1 is embedded in the report at the link.
