One of Nunavut’s founding fathers says ‘I will never apologize, because I represent our ancient people’
Tagak Curley is often referred to as one of Nunavut’s founding fathers. He calls himself a “radical” — one of the first who believed Nunavut should stand on its own, separate from N.W.T.
A curious Arctic wolf tries to steal Anne Oppliger’s bag on May 4 during a photography expedition with Ausuittuq Adventures on Ellesmere Island. “He tried to take the bag four times,” said New Jersey-based photographer Gregory Garnich, who captured the moment. He said he believes the wolf was drawn to the bag after “a small Arctic fox peed on it in Resolute Bay.” This trip was Garnich’s second to the Canadian North, but his first time seeing Arctic wolf packs.

Cecile Panika rocks a custom Toronto Maple Leafs amauti on April 20, made from a John Tavares jersey. “We are hardcore Leafs fans from Whale Cove,” she said. Panika said a friend converted the jersey, which was owned by her 22-year-old son who died last year. “Every time I [wear] it, I feel my late son is with me,” she said. With a win Thursday, the Leafs can eliminate the Ottawa Senators in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Leafs lead the series 3-2. (Photo courtesy Cecile Panika)
