23 Finding Hope and Healing in Memories of Our Past
They came frightened. They came with broken hope. They came tired and dirty. They came not knowing if they were going back home or not. They came not knowing if they were in the right place. They came with wondrous curiosity. They came with great gratitude. In the 1950s and ’60s the C.D. Howe hospital ship made her rounds in every Arctic community along the coasts of the eastern Arctic each summer. Many Inuit were taken to southern hospitals to be treated for TB. — Ann Meekitjuk Hanson, C.M.

54 Exotica Northern Lights Tradeshow
by Pierre Dunnigan
Cold is synonymous with the Arctic, particularly during the winter months. In some areas, temperatures can plummet to minus 60°C and winds roar across the ice and tundra at more than 300 kph. It’s almost unbelievable that people have adapted to these extreme conditions to call the Arctic home.
