Hey guys, I was in Nunavik, in North-Eastern Canada on the Hudson bay for a bit, studying Sea-Ice-survival with the Inuit. It was cold, got a little frostbit and so forth. Interesting story: So these guys are the Inuit, which just means "The People" in their language, Inuttitut. They had a written language before Europeans came, they're more like the Mongols than Indians, the word "eskimo" or "esquimeax" was what the Indians to the South called them and means "eaters of raw meat," which is how they got introduced to the white man.
And yes, I did eat plenty of raw meat! Slept in an igloo, sled-dogs, the whole deal.
And I'd be lying if I said I thought Shogun has a chance this weekend–can't see Jones losing!
