Ideas have consequences.
"Nunavut" is a consequence of an idea. Someone's idea changed the map of a whole huge country, political/power structure. Someone who was born they way ancient people used to be born, had an idea and his idea brought about huge change.
Discoveries.
The image of a planet discovered is called Sedna. This planet is sentimental to me for a couple of reasons, one is that I relate quite intimately with the story/idea of Sedna's betrayal in her early years. Secondly, the date labelled on the image holds the month and day of my birthday.
The planet Sedna was discovered on my birthday!
I find it ironic that I, an Inuk who is thriving in Nunavut which changed the face of a large country and has a planet named after one of my cultures greatest legends. Not many people in the world get to enjoy coincidences like these.
;-D
I don't mind saying so myself that Nunavut has great minds which hold great ideas which have great consequences. Our legends, our realities, our ideas and the discovery that we have many capacities is really wonderful. And the consequences of our ideas fetches far out, even to outer space. (the sky really is the limit)
Nunavut - Our Land... cheers to those who call her home sweet home.
Thanks for reading,
