Two Inuit women stand beside a fire boiling halibut, a fish commonly found in the Arctic. As wood is hard to come by in the higher regions of the Arctic, a combination of willow and heather is often used to start a fire. #Bowdoin #Arctic #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesCampfire

Time to read! Two Inuit children, Sheojuk and Tarkto, sit next to a box of books that were given to them by the crew of the Schooner Bowdoin. The Schooner is in the background. Photo taken by Donald MacMillan ca. 1921. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesGiftExchange

This family welcomed Donald MacMillan to the Arctic and taught him valuable skills for survival. Pictured from left are: Benigne, Tukummeq with Mikivsuk, Eqariusaq, Soqqaq, and Inukitsoq. This photo was taken by MacMillan in 1925. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesFamilyPhotos

This flag was made and used by Donald B. MacMillan. In a letter found with the flag, MacMillan wrote about the significance of the flag, “…for the purposes and ideals of one of the best of all colleges little Bowdoin.” #ArchivesU #ArchivesHashtagParty

Science in the Arctic is far from easy. In 1958, ice pedestals were formed beneath trailers on Ice Island T-3, a scientific research station on an ice island in the Arctic Ocean, due to extreme melting. Photograph by Stanley Needleman #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesScience

No vacation is complete without a refreshing dip in the ocean! Even in the Arctic, these people are enjoying some time off diving into the Greenlandic waters in the summer of 1950 #archiveshashtagparty #archivesvacay Photo by Donald MacMillan

Ole and Inatdliaq, cousins, are pictured here with their families in Greenland in 1924. Their parents worked for Donald MacMillan. In 1999, they were able to view the photographs MacMillan had taken of them as babies. #bowdoin #museum #ArchivesBabies #ArchivesHashtagParty

By 1964, 75 per cent of Inuit children were attending Residential Schools, some as young as four or five. Inuit feel an urgency to restore what was taken from us. On Sept. 30, honour survivors and take time to learn their stories. #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation
