Shane and I went to the Thule site here in Nauyat (Repulse Bay). It is a site of early people who settled here from Alaska (originally crossing the Strait from Russia). They made homes here of sod and hides and hunted whales and lived here about 1500-1000 years ago. They were then replaced by the Inuit people whose descendants live here today. Here are some pics of our adventure. Thanks Bill and Carol for taking us out!

In this case are bones that people from Denmark had taken from the site and were returned (after a bit of time)
Stay tuned for more updates with Arctic Cat!
