Our First Taste of Maqtaaq
Yesterday, we shared our experience with Annie, a Rankin Inlet elder who showed us how to light the qulliq. After the lamp was lit, we ate. We ate whale!
And Then We Saw Polar Bears
Before this trip, the only person I’d met who’d seen polar bears was a man I chatted with in Parma, Italy. When he found out I was ‘La Canadese’, he said “Oh, so you’ve been to Churchill! And seen the polar bears! I was there ten years ago. Spettacolore.”
