4th day of Expedition "Walker Bay"

28 August

Hello Travelers,

My forth day of expedition in Walker Bay it is located on the west coast of Victoria Island in Canada’s Northwest Territories. In the late 1920s the Hudson’s Bay Company established a trading post called Fort Brabant on the north shore of Walker Bay to encourage local Inuinnait to trap Arctic fox, which at the time were a were a luxury fur. In 1932 the trading post relocated to present-day Ulukhaktok. This was home to the Copper Inuit Trading post at Walker Bay, circa 1930  (Library and Archives Canada).

See you there...

Rinell :-)
