Introduction to Nunavut - a photo on Flickriver

Introduction to Nunavut

            Nunavut means "our land" in Inuktitut. Formed in 1999, the territory encompasses most of the eastern Canadian arctic. 

On our first night in Pond Inlet we attended a performance at the community centre introducing the land and its people to visitors. I'm usually leery of such productions, but this was an informative, powerful show. We learned about the history of the people of Pond Inlet, the settlement process, arctic games, throat-singing, drumming and dancing - a great way to set the context for our journey to the floe edge.

Nunavut Pro Tip - Proudly emblazoned on the Nunavut flag is a red way point, the famous stone Inuksuk that marks travel routes  and sacred places. Be sure not to spell or pronounce it as Inukshuk, a common southern mistake.
