Another overcast day, wind has dropped a little from last few days, temps blow zero so that will be good for travel.

There is one confirmed and another possible polar bear been taken, Nain has three licenses for the annual polar bear hunt.

We had a brief chat with Noah Nochasak yesterday; Noah is planning on starting a walk to George River [Kangiqsualujjuaq] in Quebec on April 1st.

Noah you may remember is the young guy who kayaked [in home made kayak] to Natuashish this past summer. Noah also completed a walk to Natuashish this winter.

A quite unassuming man Noah does these challenging things for his own gratification and self worth, and without any financial or outside support networks. Except for family and elder knowledge passed on to him that is.


I bet Siutik would love to go in this race, as long as she could sleep in a comfortable warm space at night.

What happens to the polar bear once it is brought home to Nain. The pelt is harvested, but is the meat used?

The pelt is the main thing, brings good money. Some eat the meat.
