Norman Komoartuk

Norman Komoartuk was born in 1948 near Pangnirtung. His testimony contains information about his evacuation to Pangnirtung in 1962. While he was watching a plane that had just arrived in his camp, an RCMP officer grabbed him and put him on the plane without asking or notifying his parents. His family was eventually evacuated to Pangnirtung, but Norman has painful memories of this period when he was alone.
