Historic Fort Simpson - Northwest Territories, Canada
Fort Simpson is the longest-standing continuous settlement on the Mackenzie River, in the Northwest Territories. Established as Fort of the Forks in 1903, it was renamed for Sir George Simpson when the Hudson's Bay Company set up its fur-trading post in 1922.
The Fort Simpson McPherson House was built in 1936, and once housed the family of George and Lucy McPherson. The house was restored in 1999, and now stands as a cultural document. Join two of the Simpson children, as they explore their old home and share fond memories.

Entry from: Fort Simpson, Canada
Entry Title: 13 Fort Simpson
Entry:
We left the Ingraham Trail early but stopped in Yellowknife for supplies, laundry and the internet; then new adventures awaited. Our goal was Fort Providence on the first day where we fished for Bogie on arriving and also for an hour the next morning -- caught and released numerous large Pike but the Pickerel still elude me (one got away when I tried to adjust the reel drag). This is also the only route that we will backtrack in the NWT since we are eventually heading for Fort Nelson in BC via the Liard Trail. It is interesting that the smoke from numerous BC fires is starting to affect the crystal clear skies of the north.
After a quick shower in the morning (luxury) and breakfast cereal with fresh picked Saskatoon berries, we ferried the Mackenzie River and headed towards Fort Simpson (originally named Fort of the Forks) where the Liard and Mackenzie Rivers meet. The sky is still a little hazy but the expected rain will hopefully clear the horizon again. On the way, a Black Bear challenged us for use of the gravel road (another thousand kilometres on dirt) -- the van eventually pushed him to the side of the road.
The Liard River is huge and is fed by many other rivers, including the Nahanni, but is still much smaller than the mighty Mackenzie River that pours out of Great Slave Lake. Fort Simpson, with a population of six-hundred, is kept alive by the ferry -- most of the town is supported by rich paddlers accessing the numerous rivers via plane (including the Nahanni National Park Reserve).
Also spent last night out -- we ate at the Sub-Arctic Kitchen in advance celebration of Cindy's birthday on Sunday August the ninth. The Chinese food was actually really good (hot ginger beef plus curried vegetables with steamed rice) considering that we are in the far north.
Decided to stay in Fort Simpson only one night -- off again towards the Liard Trail to view the only real mountains in the NorthWest Territories... More updates soon.

[한국어 정보]
옐로나이프 공항을 찾았다. 오늘은 좀 더, 먼 곳으로 가 볼 예정이다. 때마침, 많은 관광객들이 줄을 서 이동한다. 눈에 띄는 조형물이 있다. 흰곰이다. 흰곰을 보니 이곳이 북극과 가깝다는 사실이 새삼 느껴진다. 기다리던 비행기가 도착했다. 옐로나이프에서 서쪽으로 오백키로미터 가량 떨어진 외딴 곳으로 이동하기 위해 비행기를 탔다. 포토 심슨은 나하니 국립공원으로 들어가는 관문이다. 인간이 살기 힘들다는 아북극 지대에 위치한 작은 마을. 지금은 인구 천여 명밖에 되지 않지만 한 때, 모피 무역의 중심지로 도시가 번창하기도 했다. 헤리티지 공원은 당시 무역회사 건물이 그대로 남아있어 역사 공원으로 지정돼, 보호되고 있다.

I went to Yellowknife Airport. I'm going to go a little farther today. As a matter of fact, many tourists move in a line. There are prominent sculptures. It is a white bear. Looking at the white bear, I feel that it is close to the North Pole. The plane I was waiting for arrived. I boarded the plane to move to a remote place about half a mile from Yellowknife to the west. Photo Simpson is the gateway to the national park. A small town in the Arctic that humans are hard to live. Though it is now only a few thousand people, the city once flourished as a fur trade center. The Heritage Park was preserved as a historic park, with the trading company building remaining at that time.

Way of the Heart Film - Pain and Renewal in Fort Simpson, NWT
Forgiveness.
It’s a difficult road for most, even longer and tougher for the Dene of Fort Simpson and the surrounding Deh Cho area of the Northwest Territories who survived residential school.
Way of the Heart showcases the high hopes for the future of the new, $1.3-million Sacred Heart Church building among the people of the Deh Cho region, including healing the relationship with the Catholic Church – in part, by incorporating the Dene language, spirituality and traditions into the Mass and other ceremonies.
