I’m still here, flue is clearing [I hope] just like the fog.
Fog looked bad yesterday morning but cleared enough early for the long liners and speed boats to ferry the 80 to 90 people over to Zoar for the internment of the 22 Inuit remains.
Long day for some [live people] leaving at six and returning at about 8. Nice sunny day though.
Bit of a ceremony followed by the re burial followed by a picket fence and monument erected.
Emotional for some Inuit and solemn for all others.
John and David Terriak were two of the very few who new there relative [great grandfather] was among the interned.

That looks like a lonely bleak place to spend eternity. Beautiful though.
I wonder how the identities of the bones were determined after so many years.
Thanks for sharing Brian, very nice to see pics....
Hey bro, did Fran end up going? Sorry to hear you have de flu. Hope you are getting better! xxxx
NO idea how bones were IDed. old records maybe. Any way there are more 'remains' to be repatriated from other museums to other locals it seems.
Fran did not go and the cold is on the mend sort of.
