I thought some of you my find this of some intrest. As to how it was for me growing up in a small Arctic settlement back in the late 50s/mid60s. The place is "Pangnurtung" Baffin Island down Comberland sound. At the time there were 17 none natives, and about 350 native Inuit. plus a lot more that lived in outer regions that would bring furs to the Hudson Bay CO-OP trading post. At the time there was no money(currency) trading was done with goods and CO-OP tokens for the furs, ivory and soapstone carvings. You can goggle satellite to see what it looks like to day. It has relay grown

                      This is the settlement
