New Trip Announcement: Silent Messengers with Carol Heppenstall
proved to be one of the more outstanding journeys of my life. First
undertaken in 2008 with a small band of courageous women, we headed by
boat north and west of Kingait (Cape Dorset) to explore the world of
the paleoeskimo and visit the sacred site at Inuksuk Point. Norm
Hallendy named the over 100 inuksuit (rock cairns) "silent messengers"
as they stand there in silence - no one knows who built them or when.
The journey was incredible in many ways, for those of us who
experienced it, our lives have been changed. I am repeating the journey
in July of 2010 for women and trip notes are available now. Included in
the itinerary is precious time spent in Kingait, meeting the sculptors
and print artists that have made this community famous for over 50
years. I would love to share this with you!
