Note:
Bryan Pearson’s Inuktitut name to inhabitants of Frobisher Bay (later Iqaluit, Nunavut) was “Sedluk” or “Salluk” (the skinny one) and many Inuit called him that right up to the end. The local store he started (Arctic Ventures) is still known as “Sedluk’s store” by many. He met the Queen several times.
