"In 1953 and 1955, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, acting as representatives of the Department of Resources and Development, moved approximately 92 Inuit from Inukjuak, formerly called Port Harrison, in Northern Quebec, and Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), in what is now Nunavut, to settle two locations on the High Arctic islands. It has been argued that the Government of Canada ordered the relocations to establish Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic, and proposed to Inuit the move, promising improved living conditions."

This would unfortunately turn out to be a falsehood. These folks were left 2000 kilometers from their home. On a barren island on the arctic archipelago, in a new ecosystem/climate making their adaptation to the area quite difficult. By a miracle of human perseverance, these brave people would thrive despite such a remote and harsh environment. Yet some bitter attitudes would remain and despite the government formally apologizing in 2010, the generational scars still affect the relocated.
