Ancient Sewing Needles, Caribou Stomachs & Inuit Artifacts

Let’s travel back quickly to the museum in Churchill when, among other things, my eyes fixated on thousand year old sewing needles, hand-carved from bones.  As soon as I saw them, I became keenly aware that I know nothing about survival.  I take things like sewing needles, which I use only for the odd, wayward button, completely for granted.  

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.”
