Ancient ceremony marks new dawn in Canada Arctic

biz.yahoo.com

<< The sun's return also marks the start of a year in which new territory will be born in Canada's eastern Arctic. Inuit leaders hope the establishment of Nunavut, which means ''our land'' in the Inuit language of Inuktitut, as a self-governing territory on April 1 will help revitalize their struggling society.

Carved from the country's existing Northwest Territories after land claims negotiations between the Inuit and the Canadian federal government, the territory is 772,000 square miles (2 million square km), roughly the size of Europe minus the British Isles, but with a mere 27,000 residents. >>

<< Rosie Iqalliyuq is a 96-year-old elder who has lived much of her life in an igloo and now spends her days watching satellite television programs from her bed in a sparsely furnished apartment. She has always been Inuit, she said through an interpreter. But until recently she had no idea she was living in a country called Canada. >>

How refreshing! Bet they couldn't care less about the POG, currencies, devaluations or any of the many other things that we worry about. On second thought, maybe I should build myself an igloo ... I have the snow for it. < g >
