CASTINE<div style="page-break-before:always; page-break-after:always">MacMillan and the Inuit The museum presents &ldquo;Donald B. MacMillan and the Inuit: Living and Working in Northwest Greenland&rdquo; on Wednesday, September 22, at 4 p.m., offered in person at the Hutchins Education Center, 112 Perkins Street, and via Zoom. In 1921, MacMillan set sail for his maiden voyage aboard his new Boothbay-built schooner, Bowdoin, for Arctic exploration. Over five decades, MacMillan mapped the waterways and built relationships with many Inuit communities, according to a press release. On return trips, MacMillan revisited the same communities, working closely and building long-term friendships with the same individuals and families.Genevieve LeMoine, of the Peary-MacMillan Museum, will present some of the families MacMillan worked within northwestern Greenland and explore how his relationships with them allowed him to document many of their everyday activities. To attend virtually, email the museum at info@ wilsonmuseum.org with the subject line &ldquo;Zoom, MacMillan and the Inuit.&rdquo;LeMoine received her Ph.D. from the University of Calgary in 1991 and since 1996 has been the curator/registrar of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum. Her research has taken her to various parts of the Canadian Arctic and northwestern Greenland, where she has conducted archaeological and oral history research in the places frequently visited by both Robert A. Peary and MacMillan.
