Look at thiiiiiiiiiiiiis! Gorgeous silver fox stole with giant antler button by Minnie Clark @minnienjim Available at www.unorthodoxyukon.com Minnie & her four siblings were raised out on the family trapline at Johnson’s Crossing. Her parents homesteaded, trapped, and fish-guided during the early years of raising the children. There was no electricity, telephone or television and the children were taught to appreciate the value of hard work and a good book. When the c...hildren weren’t digging the family basement with shovel & wheelbarrow, they were attending primary school in Teslin. As they got older and were ready for high school, they were boarded out at the dormitories in Whitehorse and this is where they got their first taste of the comforts of electricity and television. What a far cry from the taped series of Sesame Street watched during lunch period at Teslin School! Minnie spent 30 years working for the government she finally retired and now spends ALL day at Timberpoint. She has also pursued her photography hobby and spends the majority of the year outdoors chasing the light, so to speak! Her photography can be found on the walls of the Nisutlin Trading Post in Teslin, or online through her Facebook account or Flickr. *** that’s me in the pictures, hamming it up. The crown is actually a chandelier but man oh man, do I ever feel like a queen wearing this! - Douma

Turn up the volume for this little video of the mighty Yukon River that’s the sound of the rushing, powerful water running beneath the icy crust. Have a safe and relaxing weekend! #yukonriver #whitehorse #yukon #canada
