'Credit is going back to our ancestors': Gjoa Haven celebrates Erebus and Terror finds


The festival of the discovery of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror begins with a community feast Saturday during the Gjoa Haven Umiyaqtutt Festival. Children in Gjoa Haven, Nunavut gather around a cake made out to look like one of Sir John Franklin's lost ships. The children's square dance group performs during the community celebration of the finding of the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in Gjoa Haven. Researchers found HMS Terror in Terror Bay last year, after Gjoa Haven's Sammy Kogvik led them to the site he'd first discovered six years earlier. Local art is on display in Gjoa Haven, Nunavut as part of the community's celebration of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror finds.
