Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

Eskimo Rockstar Nothing could make me happier than burping unicorns breath by becoming Facebook friends with Eskimo Rockstar, Zacharias Kunuk! He is Inuk from Igloolik and the director and producer most noted for his film Atanarjuat, the first Canadian dramatic feature film produced completely in Inuktitut. In his notes, he says, “Thank you for your interest in our culture, I was one of the last people to come off the land like my people before me, I saw how we used to live as a child I thought we were the only people on earth. so much have change(d) from the time I was nine year(s).” It’s amazing the changes that have taken place in only one generation.
