8:50 PM in Edmonton.
This is why no one ever fucking leaves even after 8 months of winter. The sun seems to never set. It’s warm and smells like camp fire in my front street.

“Established in 1999, Nunavut (“Our Land” in Inuktitut) is Canada’s newest territory. The Canadian Heraldic Authority and Inuit artist Andrew Qappik, developed this Coat of arms in close collaboration with the elders and leaders of Nunavut. The result is a remarkable fusion of Inuit symbolism and European heraldic tradition.”

This article, “The Trials of Nunavut,” has been in my mind since I read it last year. Look for the story of Leo Nangmalik especially. An important read.

![Fort Chipewyan, Hudson Bay Post. First left is John James Loutet, Hudson Bay Company Post Manager. no date.
“Fort Chipewyan is one of the oldest European settlements in the Province of Alberta. It was established as a trading post by Peter Pond of the North West Company in 1788.The Fort was named after the Chipewyan First Nation living in the area. One of the establishers of the Fort, Roderick McKenzie, always had a taste for literature, as was seen years later when he opened correspondence with traders all over the north and west, asking for descriptions of scenery, adventure, folklore and history. He also had in view the founding of a library at the fort, which would not be only for the immediate residents of Fort Chipewyan, but for traders and clerks of the whole region tributary to Lake Athabaska, so that it would be what he called, in an imaginative and somewhat jocular vein, “the little Athens of the Arctic regions.” This library became, perhaps, the most famous in the whole extent of Rupert’s Land.” [via]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0iw6ejxFI1qdt6jzo1_500.jpg)
