Do they exist?[edit]

The article does not make clear if they currently exist or are just reported in the past. -- Error (talk) 18:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More reported than actually existing. Stefansson preferred Copper Inuit so you could use one of the pictures associated with that. But the caption would be fairly long. Christian Klengenberg reported it and may have had some sort of self-promotion in mind. Today there are so many of his descendants as well as other Inuit descended from other southerners that it isn't uncommon to see fair haired, fair skinned and black Inuit.

I found a picture with an attributed description. Thanks. --Error (talk) 18:10, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reliably published source. Doug Weller talk 19:19, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nice find. I'm sure I've seen some of those people in other pictures. If you are interested https://www.facebook.com/groups/243027159123792 CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 08:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't a reliably published source. @Error please stop restoring this without showing an exact reliably published source and author. Doug Weller talk 08:42, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who said Facebook was a reliable source? I posted that picture to FB because members of the group are sometimes able to name their ancestors. Something that people feel are important. The names, if found, are then provided to the Government of Canada to accompany the images. I posted the FB link here as a courtesy not as a source.

@CambridgeBayWeatherThat wasn’t aimed at you. Doug Weller talk 19:48, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Sorry. The indentation made it look like that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 07:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I blame the reply tool. I find it confusing. Doug Weller talk 08:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
