The Canadian North is mainly occupied by Aboriginal People. The two
main groups are the First Nations (Amerindians) and the Inuit
(Eskimos)

Cat-Train
(Cat-Train is a slang word meaning
sleighs pulled by bulldozers during the winter to carry
all freight to a remote site in the Arctic)
"Cat-Train" is sometimes the only means
of transporting equipment to a site located far inland
Scouting the best route for the Cat-Train is essential
Everything must be carried to the site;
even the fuel for heavy equipment
Travelling from Sanirajak (Hall Beach) to CAM-F DEW Line site: more than 100 km through tundra
An igloo is still
an excellent shelter during bad weather conditions
