Travel Tips from people who've been to Nunavut
Frobisher Bay, canada - Musk Ox - from my time in Canada:
Some companies arrange Musk ox safari, where they illegally shoot animals from helicopters. Originally both the musk ox, reindeers and seals are given food for the Inuit people and the skins and bones has been used for clothing. After we in the west have made it to sport by shooting these animals in Canada and Greenland has different organizations, including Greenpeace made it difficult for the original Inuits to exist because they are the ones who are being blamed for the massacre. Paradokxically we in the West are helping to destroy the Inuits indigenous livelihoods, which mean that we also have imported the "social welfare system", which also mean unimployments, that do not fit in the Inuit way of thinking about being able to contribute to the family and society.

Pangnirtung is the beautiful entrance way to Auyuittuq National Park--home of the greatest vertical face on earth, they filmed a James Bond movie there--a place one has to be to really feel or understand. The last polar bear was seen here over a decade ago so don't worry about bringing a rifle.
