I chose "eskimos" as we learned back then. I dreamed about running away to live with the tribes of the north. I wanted to hunt and wear caribou, eat walrus, build snow shelters and - of course- run dogs. Ms. Polaris helped me find my sources, including books in the library and documentary films. With her help, we rented the igloo movie linked below and showed it to the entire school. Imagine the memories that flooded through me tonight when I found it on Youtube, 49 years later, thanks to a link from an MPR article about winter camping. Shine on, Ms. Polaris. Your memory shines brightly in my night skies! MPR winter camping igloo |
