Our first northern purchase
I know, it isn’t much, but it is the first thing we’ve purchased.
We have a list of things we really would like to buy while we’re up here. Somethings we’re optimistic about actually getting, some not so much. At least we have a minimum of 2 years to try and find them. Among that list are: Polar Bear hide, Wolf hide, carvings, Walrus tusks, Narwhal tusk, etc. We have also purchased an Ulu. We’re just waiting for it to be made.
Here is a picture of what we’ve purchased. They are pins in the shape on an Ulu. The handles are made from Caribou Antler.

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

Have you seen any ulu’s being used?

Yes, they were using them during the Whale Hunting.
