Mi’kmaw tradition holds that the constellation Ursa Major is a bear being hunted. In autumn, when this group of stars is low in the Northern sky, hunters have caught up with the bear and its blood colours the season’s leaves.

What extra activities would you do if night were day? The Midnight Sun refers to the consecutive 24-hour periods of sunlight experienced in Canada’s North. This phenomenon occurs when the Northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun in late spring and summer.

Cassiopeia is a circumpolar constellation that is visible all year long in the Northern hemisphere. Northern Cree tradition holds that the constellation is the starlight that appears through the stake holes in the dried hide of a great elk.

Merek Johnson and Linly Day visit Reindeer Station, Northwest Territories. The small community was the centre of a federal program designed to train locals to become reindeer herders. Reindeer Station is now the primary location for cultural and wellness camps for Inuvialuit.

Unintended consequences can be good. Climate researchers conclude that the Montreal Protocol has delayed the Arctic’s first ice-free summer by up to 15 years. The 1989 treaty phased out the use of chlorofluorocarbons, a type of greenhouse gas that contributes to ozone depletion.
