Grandpa Stories that Archie recorded have been transcribed, digitized and cleaned up by Meriläinen Müsic for the next process in the audio telling Reneltta Arluk is putting together.

Tookoolito started guiding at fifteen for fishing boat captains, and explorers. In 1860, she met Charles Francis Hall. He was looking to hire an Inuit guide to help locate Sir John Franklin's remains. A deep friendship grew that greatly influenced each other’s lives. This friendship was not without its conflicts.
Reneltta is writing a play about this, virtually unknown, national icon of Canadian history from the perspective of a modern Inuk woman writing about a then modern Inuk woman.
