“Narwhal are recognized as a #cultural cornerstone by Inuit, the #narwhal holds profound significance,” Jason Akearok, executive director of the #Nunavut#Wildlife Management Board, said on Wednesday.
“In alignment with their cultural relevance, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board commits to a thorough examination of #scientific insights and #Inuit#Qaujimajatuqangit [knowledge] from #COSEWIC, evaluating their assessment of the narwhal as ‘Not at Risk.'”
The power of social media. So on Sunday I posted a photo here, and on an instagram story, of the drum I hauled out to the cabin by ATV. I wrote that it was destined to be the tank for our heating fuel there.
A fellow from Iqaluit (we both follow each other) saw it and reached out with a warning that the barrel will let UV rays through causing the fuel to varnish and gum up the system. As he has it happen to him.
Back out today to recover the drum. Luckily I can return it. #Nunavut#CabinLife
If you saw my post with the stamp of the rock form known as “The Pants”, here is a photo of a Polar Bear dwarfed by it, seen through its legs. I had the wrong lens on and couldn’t get a photo of the entire formation and bear. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#WildlifePhotography#PolarBear
Today my solar power grant for the cabin was deposited in my account. And my system ordered. Now to wait for sealift. Excited and intimidated over this part of the project. #Nunavut#Arctic#CabinLife.
So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.
I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin. #Nunavut#Arctic#Stamps#philately#CanadaPost
In an ATV trip to Innaaluup Nuvua last summer we stopped at the top of this magnificent valley above Innaarulaalikuluk and Admiralty Inlet. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography
Throwback to summer. I’ve applied for some funding to upgrade my drone so here’s a shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. A panorama of Qajuutinnguaq down Adams Sound from home. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#Drone
Nanuraq only started running dogs two years ago and was participating in his first Nunavut Quest, a race that his grandfather and father have both run.
Hey, here's something fishy. I'd like to get more fish into my diet. Tilapia is out so what else is out there? How do I cook it? Cod had worms so I def want something with those. I love salmon but I want to try other types. Tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
It was a long way off and cropped heavily. But the Gyrfalcon and ravens were at each other today. Here the Raven has flipped over to meet the Gyr’s attack. #Nunavut#Arctic#birding#WildlifePhotography
