Arctic Solidarity. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¬πŸ‡±πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

For those not familiar, Nunavut is a Canadian territory encompassing most of the Canadian Arctic including Baffin Island where its capital, Iqaluit, is located.

There are deep historic and ancestral ties, but also very current familial ties between Greenlander and Canadian Inuit peoples. There are international flights between Iqaluit and Nuuk.

Our current Governor General Mary Simon -- Titular Commander of our Armed Forces in the King's adsence -- is Inuk, and grew up in traditional life. (yes, dog sleds, Donald!)

Her Inuk name is: Ningiukudluk

It means: β€œbossy little old lady”.

I am absolutely sure would hate her. πŸ‘

She has a long career in Arctic/Inuk/Circumpolar politics. She will be in Nuuk next month to open Canada's new consulate.
