	Gjoa Haven, Nunavut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gjoa Haven or (Inuktitut: Uqsuqtuuq, Syllabics: ᐅᖅᓱᖅᑑᖅ, meaning "lots of fat", referring to the abundance of blubbery sea mammals in the nearby waters) is a hamlet in Nunavut, above the Arctic Circle, located in the Kitikmeot Region at 68°38’N, 95°52’ W. It is 1,056 km NE of Yellowknife.
		In 1961 the town's population was 110; population was 960 according to the 2001 Census, having grown due to people moving from other settlements to be close to the healthcare and educational facilities available at Gjoa Haven.
		The community is served by the Gjoa Haven Airport and by annual supply sealift.

	Nunavut 99 - A Public Government
		The Nunavut territory comprises the area that roughly corresponds with traditional and contemporary Inuit use, along with the northern portions of the High Arctic islands and the islands of Ungava Bay, Hudson Bay, and James Bay that are not part of adjacent provinces.
		Also unique to the government of Nunavut as a result of the land claim agreement is its ability to make decisions in certain areas of jurisdiction reserved for the federal government in Canada's other territories.
		For the residents of Nunavut, the creation of their own government is the product of many generations of insight, wisdom, and the ability to adapt to a world in constant flux.

	Welcome to Nunavut Parks: On The Land: Kitikmeot: Northwest Passage Territorial Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Located in and around the hamlet of Gjoa Haven on King William Island, it is part of a larger goal to provide an informative tour about the quest by Europeans to find a Northwest Passage and the search for answers concerning the disappearance of the Franklin Expedition that failed to find the passage.
		Gjoa Haven has its name because the area is the natural port that served as a safe haven for Amundsen's ship the Gjoa, while he studied the Earth's magnetic field.
		At the Northwest Passage Historic Park, in Gjoa Haven on King William Island, visitors can "journey" on a historical route to learn about the land that was home to Amundsen and his six crewmen from 1903 until 1906.

	CM Magazine: Nunavut Territory, Canada.
		Although one of Canada's most ancient settlements, Nunavut was recognized as Canada's most recent political territory on April 1, 1999.
		Certainly, this CD provides material not easily accessed with other research tools: particularly strong are the sections on Nunavut's history, the peoples who have inhabited the territory, and "yesterday and today" which profiles traditional and current life.
		Compared to many other reference CD's, Nunavut Territory is not particularly flashy and lacks a sense of unified design, both in text and graphics.

	Roald Amundsen - First to Navigate Northwest Passage
		His journey took three years to complete - he and his crew had to wait while the frozen sea around them thawed enough to allow for navigation.
		His little 47 ton fishing boat, Gjøa (pronounced "y-eu-a") was finally able to leave his Arctic base at Gjøahaven (today - Gjoa Haven, Nunavut), and on August 26, 1905 he and his 6-man crew encountered a ship bearing down on them from the west.
		Amundsen was fascinated with polar exploration (as a youth, he slept with the windows open during frigid Norwegian winters to condition himself) and he took pride in being referred to as "the last of the Vikings".
