Ok so you’ve become like obsessed with military planes. Same for me, I used to draw planes at school too I remember. Does the RCAF send planes over there? Is there an air base there?
I find it amazing that humans have been able to survive in such harsh environments. Do you go hunting, fishing etc?
There is an FOL Base here in Iqaluit, which was built sometime in mid 1980s, which was for the CF-18s. After the Cold War was over, the FOL Base was then used as for local events, like when the New Nunavut Territory came into effect back in 1999. Also, it was used for concerts, too, for a while. But nowadays, it’s hardly used at all.
As for us Inuit people, yes, we still live the traditional way by going out on land and go hunting or fishing. I haven’t gone out hunting though, for 10 years now, except a few day trips. We had one of the coldest years and every year is different nowadays, never know what to expect what it will be the next time. We had a mild winter one time and the ice didn’t form until after the New Year. Then the next winter was different, same within the rest of the other seasons, every year is different…
MAAKUSIMI.
