Akavak Family Trek from Kimmirut to Iqaluit 1997

Mosha and Pitseolak Akavak wanted to make a statement about the important link between family and land values so they hiked the 160 km trail from Kimmirut to Iqaluit with their kids in 1997. Lena was one of Nick’s students that year so his class visited the family while on the trail.
