They are part of the Canadian History.

In the late 30s, The Inuvialuit of the Mackenzie Delta faced desperation, Caribou had dwindled. The Canadian Government made import 3000 reindeers from Norway, travelling through northern Siberia to the Berring straight, and through Alaska to arrive in the Delta to help the local community.

They are today mixed with the Ground Barren caribou Herd.

Driven by a passion ignited during my year as a musher guide in Scandinavia a decade earlier where I used to see reindeer everyday. I still remember the excitement every morning looking for them and spotting their distinct silhouettes against the snow, their majestic antlers standing out against the vast white landscape.

In 2017, I embarked on a long journey that led me deep into northern Canada, where I had a unique opportunity to work within the Inuvaluit community before following the last herders in their daily life in the middle of the tundra.

At this time, WWF-Canada was running a new campaign about the importance of the conservation of the Caribou. A few footage of this journey have been included into their video series, as well as one being used as their establishing shots for the series.
