THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1842, Augustus Richard Peers joined the HBC and sailed from London for Hudson Bay, where he would begin his job. Ten or so years later, he wrote a Narrative for publication in England that would tell his story and the stories of others who worked in the North. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/augustus-peers-journal/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Indigenous story of Rat's Lodge, on Artillery Lake, was a story that had a grain of truth in it. Many First Nations men died in the storms that blew past the Rat's Lodge, and in 1855, James Anderson and his men also suffered the same fierce storms that caused the Indigenous people's superstitions about the place. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rats-lodge/ -

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, Chief Trader James Anderson and his small party of men paddle their way up the "River of Rapids" -- that is: the Great Fish River -- and encamped in Beechey's Lake in a rain shower. Musk Ox Lake was before them, and it was near the headwaters of the Great Fish River. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/river-of-rapids/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Inuit call the Lakes Pelly and Garry the *Sideways Lakes* as they trend east and west instead of north and south. This east-west orientation made James Anderson's journey down the Great Fish River a longer, more difficult journey. He could not, however, have avoided this long diversion.... #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth ##Nunavut #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-anderson-10/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson and his small party of experienced men continued their journey down the Great Fish River toward the Arctic Sea, through the Barren Lands -- which, as the name suggests, are barren. Intimidatingly so, in fact. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-9/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson and his small party of men continued their journey North on the Great Fish or Back River, making their way downriver to the shores of the Arctic Sea in search of Sir John Franklin's men. #HBCHistory #NorthwestTerritories #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-8/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
James Anderson and his small party of men make their way down the Great Fish or Back River, on their way to the Arctic Sea, where they will search for signs of Sir John Franklin's lost men. They are still hundreds of miles from the Arctic Sea.... #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #HBCHistory #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-7/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Crossing the Mountain Portage from McLeod's Bay, Great Slave Lake, to the headwaters of the Great Fish River proved to be a difficult crossing, but James Anderson and his hardworking men made it seem easy. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-5/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
HBC Chief Trader James Anderson and his small team of men reached McLeod's Bay, at the north end of Great Slave Lake, and began the long and difficult Mountain Portage that would lead his party to the headwaters of the Great Fish River. That river would lead him across the barren lands and north to the Arctic Sea. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-4/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson paddled across Great Slave Lake, heading north from Fort Resolution to the foot of the Mountain Portage, in McLeod Bay. He and his party is on their way to the Great fish River, which they will follow north to the shores of the Arctic Sea. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-3/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson begins his journey south, up the Mackenzie River to Great Slave Lake, where he will begin his journey north to the Arctic Sea by the Great Fish River! #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NWT #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-anderson-2/ -
Posting this here in the hope we can reach a few #authors on #bookstodon ... We now have authors participating in Fiction Fest from every part of Canada except Newfoundland & Labrador, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. We're still accepting sign ups from all provinces/territories, but If you are a Canadian author living in any of those 3 places, we would especially love to have you join us in our summer showcase.
This is a completely online/virtual event and it already has a really good mix of tradpub, indie and hybrid authors signed up. It comprises of a book showcase and author gallery, plus a roster of live author readings and discussion panels.
It's free to join, you don't need to provide copies of your books, and this is a grassroots cooperative effort that has all of us working together to shout out each other's books and #CanLit in general.
We are also accepting #Canadian illustrators of graphic novels and picture books (even if the text of the book they illustrated is not written by a Canadian).
Check out our Author FAQ for more details! ** Submissions close on May 1st. **

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In summer 1852, Chief Trader James Anderson journeyed down the Mackenzie River, travelling from Fort Simpson to Fort Good Hope to deliver the goods and to bring in the furs that had been traded in over the winter. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-good-hope/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1851, Fort Selkirk's chief trader Robert Campbell made his way up the Mackenzie River, travelling from to north and surprising all the gentleman at the headquarters of Fort Simpson who did not expect him to come from that direction. #NorthwestTerritories #NWT #Yukon #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-simpson/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
There were ramparts on the #Yukon River, and on the Porcupine: they were places where high rock walls narrowed the rivers and created a claustrobic feeling. However, magnificent as these ramparts mightbe, the Ramparts of the Mackenzie River were a magnificent sight that was not to be forgotten. #Journeys #NorthWestTerritories #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/ramparts/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
From Lapierre House, on a northern bend of the Porcupine River, the HBC men under Robert Campbell walked across the Richardson Range to the banks of Peel's River, where they came to the gates of the Peel's River Post (now Fort McPherson). #Yukon #NorthWestTerritories #NWT #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/peel-river-post/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Rapids of the Drowned may have kept my readers wet and cold, but there are worse rapids ahead: however, the hardy and stubborn HBC men made their way through all these dangers to the smooth river above. There were more dangers to come, however. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC #MackenzieRiver #NorthwestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/liard-2/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Peel's River post was as far north as a man could travel on the mighty Mackenzie River, unless he ventured out into the Arctic Sea--and not too many people did that! #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories #NWT #FortMcPherson https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/peels-river-post/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1852, Chief Trader James Anderson travelled down the Mackenzie River toward Fort Norman, which he and another man who also visited the post then described. #HBCHistory #ThreeJourneysNorth #NWT #Journeys #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-norman/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Two canoe journeys head to the west side of the Rocky Mountains, but only one crew--that of governor Simpson-- takes the route via Fort Chipewyan and the Peace River. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthWestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-eleven/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
There were quite a few posts in the north, both on the Mackenzie River, on Athabasca Lake, and later, on the Liard and the Yukon Rivers. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NWT #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/historic-posts-in-the-west/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
To get to Great Slave Lake from the Portage la Loche, men and boats had to travel up the reversing Riviere des Roches, and the turbulent Slave River. This would, perhaps, have been the most interesting part of their journey north to the Arctic Sea. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NWT #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/klondike-trail-5/ -

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson and his men passed what they called the Rat's Lodge, and made their way over the last height of land to Great Slave Lake, where they ended their long journey north to the Arctic Sea at last. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #NorthwestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rats-lodge/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson and his small party of adventurers made their way south through Clinton Olden Lake, on their way home to Great Slave Lake from their exploration of the Great Fish River and the shores of the Arctic Sea. #Journeys ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-to-clinton-colden-lake/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
James Anderson and his small group of explorers now find themselves on a section of the Great Fish River which Anderson describes as "river of Rapids." #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/river-of-rapids/ -
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, Anderson and his small party of adventurers continue their journey south, up the Great Fish River, hoping to make it all the way to Great Slave Lake before winter set in. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/andersons-journey-continues/ -

A Shared Lunch, continued!
Fieldwork yields so much more than data, as Jennifer Temmer shares: “While this is not my current lunch, I wish it were! During my fieldwork in Kakisa, a community member gifted me some moose meat so I made homemade tortillas for moose meat tacos with salsa made with tomatoes from the community garden. We all agreed they were delicious!”
What do community gardens mean to Kakisa community members? What resources do they have at their disposal and what strategies are needed to maintain them long term? Read and find out more from Temmer et al.: https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i3.737
