The North Star, circa 1915. (GSC/38531)
The North Star
The North Star was a cargo ship, locally called a 'schooner'. For many years, it was owned by Natkusiak, who also was known as Billy Banksland.
Natkusiak
helped to extend the fur trade to Banks and Victoria Islands. He inspired
other Inuvialuit, including Nuligak, to purchase schooners and to operate
them throughout the western Canadian Arctic.
