So excited for this morning's keynote at #NWTRPA2019! Father-daughter duo Scott McQueen and Jordee Reid will be speaking the history of dog mushing in the North. 
Indigenous peoples in different parts of Canada including the North have a long history with sled dogs, but it's a history that has often been overlooked. Jordee notes that dog mushers often choose to spend their time with animals for a reason (that got a laugh!). #NWTRPA2019
Both Scott and Jordee were raised with sled dogs. Scott had a more traditional experience with sled dogs. His family used dogs for transportation + harvesting. Jordee grew up with dog sledding as recreation + sport. So they have had different experiences with dogs. #NWTRPA2019
