After many discussions, the idea of developing a new cruise line that would be operated by and for the Inuit people took shape. To ensure that the environment and local Inuit communities would be respected, Dugald, made a field trip to the Nunavik communities last year to meet with the mayors and the landholding corporation presidents. The idea was to gain insight into how this new business could benefit the communities. Suggestions abounded, and groundwork has been done to prepare for the arrival of tourists for next summer. Quaqtaq landholding has suggested, for example, converting the old weather station in Cape Hopes Advance to welcome tourists. Cruise North will attract Inuit and non-Inuit alike to discover the North by offering three different cruises through the Arctic summer from July to September. Most of the clients will likely come from the South with an interest in discovering new places. With worldwide travel now so accessible, the Artic remains one of the last frontiers for people to explore. Those who choose this destination tend to be interested in nature, in culture, and curious about discovering the flora and fauna of the area’s tundra and taiga. “We are putting together a unique, first-rate program that’s attuned to the expectations and high standards of worldly, sophisticated travellers,” Dugald says. Suzanne Sherkin, a Toronto writer, plans to be aboard for the July launch. “I’m very excited about taking this trip. The North has always held such a strong allure for me but I never felt prepared enough to go. With this guided tour that leaves lots of room for personal exploration, I know I’ll have a great experience,” says Suzanne. “I’m looking forward to learning about the land and discovering more about the Inuit. I’m also really looking forward to finding out more about the local artists, and bringing some of their work back home.” The Cruise North brochure, which you can find on the Internet at www.cruisenorthexpeditions.com, tells a lot about the fantastic array of experiences a traveller can expect. For each of the eight cruises, they offer well researched presentations on various facets of the Arctic, and a great many chances to see some of the amazing wildlife — whether it’s the 800-foot cliffs on Akpatok Island with the noisy flocks of thick-billed murres nesting there, or the prehistoric looking muskoxen on Diana Island. On each trip, visitors have the opportunity to connect with the locals, find out more about the products and services they offer, and buy souvenirs. Depending on which trip the visitors choose, there will be many different areas to explore. On The Baffin Adventure and In Hudson's Wake, the tourists will have a chance to discover Ungava Bay, Hudson Strait, and the Hudson Bay, including Richmond Gulf. They will surely see the wildlife, perhaps see eye-to-eye with caribou, and watch walrus and beluga. Indeed, readers in Nunavik can imagine the richness of living things that can be seen in the sea and on the land. Cruise North will also coordinate with Avataq so that archeological sites may be visited, there may be a summer school organized, and other plans are being discussed. With only a few months ahead before the first cruise sets sail, 6

Adamie Alaku also adds, "Of course it will be our pleasure to welcome visitors as we have much to share with them. Over time and with the dedication of our communities, we will become more and more established for onshore hospitality as well as at sea. In the long run, we want the financial benefits to the Inuit to be significant from this venture. The tourist industry is steadily growing in the North, and what better way to see our coastal communities than by sea?" From the Far South to the Far North The ship is named after the town in southern Argentina that serves as the main port for expedition cruise ships visiting Antarctica. "Ushuaia” means, “westward pointing bay” in the language of the Yamana people who lived in the area before the arrival of European settlers. They lived among the islands south of the mainland, away from the larger and more numerous Ona Indians, and took their livelihood from the sea. They actually lived in their dugout canoes, inside of which they maintained small fires for cooking and warmth. In 1520, when Ferdinand Magellan became the first European explorer to discover a sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, he saw the smoke from these fires and named the island group “Tierra del Fuego” — “land of fire”.

For close to 60 years, Makivik’s First Air has been bringing visitors to Canada’s North. Now acknowledged as Canada’s largest northern air carrier, our airline has grown to become an important and successful business enterprise for Nunavik Inuit. Each year First Air jet services to Kuujjuaq bring cargo and supplies for our communities and allow us to export our goods and culture. Business and government personnel rely on First Air’s connections beyond our region. Annually tourists, game hunters and sport fishers numbering in the thousands, come to Nunavik from around the world via First Air. And now the role of our airline has expanded again to be an essential partner in the economic success of Makivik’s Cruise North Expeditions tourism initiative. Beginning this July, and running throughout the summer of 2005, Cruise North Expeditions will run weekly Arctic tours by ship. Every seven days these cruises will depart from Kuujjuaq. It will be our airline, First Air, that brings them here. BOB MESHER MAKIVIK mag a zine 7
