What should we do in Churchill?

April 10, 2009 Tell a Friend Comments (2)

Today we dogsled from the Churchill Northern Studies Center into the town of Churchill. In Churchill there are many interesting things to see and do. We will leave it up to you to figure out what we should do.

Here are the options . . . One option is a museum full of Inuit artifacts. This would be a great option to learn about the Inuit culture and history. The second option is the Prince of Wales Fort, which is at the mouth of the Churchill River. We could take a tour of the fort to learn about the settlement of the town and history of the fur trade in the area. The third option is to visit a very large kennel of Canadian Inuit sled dogs. The Wintergreen dogs live in a large kennel, but this one is apparently the largest kennel of Canadian Inuit dogs in the world, with about 150 dogs.

The choice is up to you! Please tell us what you would like to learn about. Be sure to include your reasons.

Most of us (11 of 16) today would like to see the kennel because you could learn about differences compared with your dogs. Dogs are awesome. You can learn more about sled dogs, maybe new information.

I would be interested in hearing about or seeing pictures of Inuit artifacts, especially any boats that may be in the museum.
