After the original anger, the British woman apologizes for the “first” claim on the Canadian island

Last month, the British traveler Camilla Hemelman-Adams was deported and skiing across the Nonavot region in Canada. After completing a 150 -mile journey (241 kilometers long) of Qikiqtarjuaq communities to Pangnirtung, she claimed to be the first individual woman to pass the Bafin Island, the largest island in Canada. This announcement now received a serious violent reaction from the original Nonavot community.

As mentioned before BBCThe members of the local inhabitants refuted its demand, saying that it erased the history of the indigenous population and was nourished by a “dangerous colonial position”. Since then, hempleman-Edams apologized for the crime it caused.

Before her mission began, Hempleman-Edams wrote that “Parks Canada confirmed that there are no historical records of a single attempt by Qikiqtarjuaq to Pangnirtung” on its website, as was killed by the BBC. Once she completed her mission on March 27, different Ports subscriber Its apparent success in breaking the record.

“The news last week came out of a British” explorer “that became the first woman to force the island of Pavin Pavin … aside that she was skiing 241 km across the Camberland Peninsula, not in fact Pavin Island (1500 km). Social media. “In news coverage, it is said that the island of Pavin is uninhabited, with no much life. There is no way in hell, as the British colonizer comes to Inte Natun in 2025 and demands any first.” Nusab translates into “homeland“

Kabloona concluded to help “call this ignorant and racist behavior.” I asked Hompleman-Edams to apologize and the BBC is back Coverage. Although Kabloona may not have said it explicitly, the feelings are clear: it is likely to be a single individual woman crossing the island of Bafin before she kept the hempleman-Edams, although any of the heritage confidence in Inukes Canada keeps these records. Kabloona BBC told these records not exist because such trips were a “normal way of life” for the indigenous people.

For example, her grandmother walked hundreds of kilometers away every year, often pregnant, “for fishing and hunting lands in the winter because that was life. Every inch of this continent has history and stories like this,” she explained in the same position as social media.

In a written statement for CBC NewsHEMPLEMAN-Edams repeated the fact that she has been fulfilled from her future demand with Parks Canada and wild experts in Qikiqtarjuq and Pangnartung before the campaign.

“However, if this information is incorrect, I apologize without reservation for submitting an incorrect claim and for a crime,” I wrote, as mentioned by CBC News. ))
