I've heard that the food prices there are higher than a pothead on 4/20. Sadly, some of the communities do not allow booze. They seem to have a lot of Fords there. I like the polar bear license plates. I also get the impression that there are not a lot of Japanese vehicles there. The lack of road access makes it expensive.

I think I'll just watch it on National Geographic or something. I think I would start drinking as soon as I got there.

For the brave-at-heart, adventuring loving ones who just love to freeze their butts off.

It's big, its damn cold, its damn hard to get to, and it's not really worth seeing when you get there. By the way, ClassicTVFan would love it. The inhabitants are addicted to television and video games, and a significant number of the communities prohibit alcohol. Maybe I'll take up a collection to help him move there.

Never been there. Don't want to go. The only communities are little Inuit villages. I don't deny that there is a wealth of culture and art and beauty in these communities, but there is also a wealth of substance abuse and venereal disease. I can see polar bears and seals and beluga whales northern Manitoba anyway.

From what I hear, Nunavut is a province that was created in 1999 from part of the Northern Territories of Canada. It is actually a very pristine, though very highly unaccessable part of the country. It is primarily a reserve to allow Eskimos to continue their native lifestyles, which have been altered since whites attempted to "civilize" them. When they did this in the 1960's, the result was that the Eskimos lost their ancient livelihoods. The Eskimos became destitute and relied heavily on alcohol, a story all too familiar with Native Americans throughout the Americas. Fortunately, the Eskimos have been allowed to return to their native lifestyles and have even been given Nunavut as a province of their own.
