Huge fan of this dog breed. Sad and nervous. Bright eyes and dark hair. Destined to sit at a well and sigh, forced to die a premature death at the hands of another. Always accompanied by a much larger blonde man he is both obsessed with and scared of.
the sexiest thing a woman can be is a cringe fujoshi with a very serious day job

Today's Black History Month illustration is of Matthew Henson, the first Black Arctic explorer and a part of the small group considered to be the first to reach the geographic North Pole in 1909.
Matthew Alexander Henson was born in 1866 in Maryland. He was the son of two freeborn Black sharecroppers. When Henson was 4, his father moved the family to Washington DC for better work opportunities. His parents died early on and Henson and his siblings were left with other family members.
When Henson was 11, he left home to find his own way. He walked from DC all the way to Baltimore, Maryland and found work as a cabin boy on the ship Katie Hines. The skipper, Captain Childs, took Henson under his wing and educated him. Also, while being a cabin boy, he travelled to Asia, Africa, and Europe.
After Captain Child passed, he made his way back to Washington DC. In 1887, while working in a store, Henson met Robert E. Peary, who hired him as a valet for his next expedition to Nicaragua. Peary was impressed with Henson’s skills and all around resourcefulness and employed him as an attendant on seven expeditions to the Arctic.
On April 6, 1909, Henson, Peary, and four Inuit guides, Egingwah, Ooqueah, Ootah, and Seeglo, drove their dogsleds to the North Pole. It’s said that Henson arrived alone at what he thought was the North Pole. Peary caught up to him an hour later and refused to accept Henson’s calculation. Peary then chose a different location and called it the North Pole.
When they returned home from the expedition, Peary received most of the accolades for the trip even though Henson was technically first. And despite the accolades, the team faced a lot of skepticism, and Peary had to testify before Congress about the lack of proof of reaching the North Pole.
By order of President Taft, Henson was appointed clerk in the US Customs House in New York City and he also continued to talk about his experiences as an explorer. In 1912, he wrote the book A Negro Explorer at the North Pole. In 1937, when Henson was 70, he was accepted as an honorary member of the highly regarded Explorers Club. A few years later, he and the other members of the North Pole Expedition were awarded a Congressional Medal. In 1947, he worked with Bradley Robinson to write his biography, Dark Companion.
Henson died in NYC in 1955, but was reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery in 1987 at the request of Dr. S. Allen Counter of Harvard University.
I'll be back tomorrow with another illustration and story!

Character designs for a furthest south Terror prequel: Thomas Jopson, Francis Crozier, James Clark Ross and Joseph Dalton Hooker. Inspired by Palin’s Erebus.
CBC Gem has a section called Inuktitut where you can watch various media about Intuit peoples and their lives and experiences.
I highly recommend ANGAKUSAJAUJUQ (The Shaman's Apprentice) for Terror fans! It's a short animation about a girl who has been mentored by her grandmother to be a shaman. she faces her first test to help a young hunter who has fallen ill. The animation is so good and the story is very cute and obviously Silna-coded (if she had a happier story 😭).
I also recommend the episode Grape Soda in the Parking Lot of How to Lose Everything. The entirety of the show is a good watch on how colonialism has affected indigenous peoples across Canada, but Grape Soda in the Parking Lot was relatable to me personally, and because of that, sat with me for a long time. It's offered in English and in Inuktitut - I mention this as the episode is a short about the loss of language through colonialism - both Taqralik's father and grandmother lost their knowledge of Inuktitut and Scottish Gaelic (respectively) through English colonialism. The story hits close to home, as I am a child of a francophonie family whose cousins and second cousins are slowly losing our own language. It's not quite the same - French is an official language, has the backing of the Quebec nation to keep it alive. It is taught in schools and much more accessible for people to learn, even as adults. Inuktitut is easy to lose, especially how Taqralik's father lost it - having to leave home to be treated for tuberculosis, which is a common reason Inuit arrive in bigger towns and cities in Canada, because if they get seriously ill, their medical facilities are not equipped to treat them. It's a much bigger system that causes the loss than we really realize. There are places that offer Inuktitut language learning where I live now, but they are few and far in between, and sometimes are not financially accessible to people, despite grants and other supports.
Tonight I'll be watching One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk.
I hope you guys find time to check out some of these pieces, and maybe also check out Isuma.tv - a film production company and platform that showcases Inuit (and other indigenous community groups) stories and media.
Found this very cute Nive Nielsen bts pic on pinterest that I've never seen before :)

RPF is fine if you’re just writing about two men rubbing their bodies together in the arctic. like that’s not even Real Person Fiction that right there is Real Person Fact
