Inuvikphotos.ca (Daily views from the NWT)

Please check out today’s new link: Episodes of “Suaangan: Our Strength.” You won’t regret it!

This is a show aired on APTN (Aboriginal Peoples Television Network) which documents life in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the northernmost part of the western NWT

The movies are Quicktime files and the quality is very good. I think a good starting point would be “Springtime in the ISR.”

Thanks to producers Dave and Zoe as always!

Here’s the sunrise over Inuvik at 10:55am.

Sunlight has been receding and Inuvik is getting fewer minutes each day.
Going to work at 9am now seems much earlier.

Newfoundlander Tony Sexton takes the stage to play a few tunes.

Only on Halloween will you see this…

Cheers to Frank who played guitar, fiddle and mandolin!

The costume contest winner, “mini-wheat” and friends. (You know, the guy from the cereal box?)

Here’s the airport full of people, waiting for friends and relatives to arrive.

There was a pretty large military presence at the airport today; lots of green sacks on the baggage trolley and uniformed officers going around.

Inuvik’s runway also had this large plane. I wonder what is going on?

Here’s the Dempster Highway as seen from above. The road is now closed until the ice road sections open, which could be as soon as next month.

This totem pole stands outside Yellowknife’s city hall. It was donated by aboriginal people from Canada’s west coast, in British Columbia.

With the small size or northern trees, it’s not surprizing we don’t have totem poles! (It is certainly a nice piece of work.)

Yellowknife had its first blizzard on Oct. 25. Looks like it’s here to stay!

(Note: I am still figuring out WordPress, but want to keep daily updates. Hopefully this will soon have fair-sized thumbnails, like the old blog. But I think you’ll agree the title looks better, eh?)

Here’s a pretty nice place, eh? It looks like a cottage but it’s right downtown. Prime real-estate to be sure.
