The article clearly says that she traveled solo between these two communities “Qikiqtarjuaq to Pangnirtung”. A quick Google search will report that there were Inuit indigenous people living there for centuries. Do you think they traversed to each other by train during all this time? 😅
Besides, their own people who lives there confirms that this route has been used by many people before including women. Why would they lie? Guess they never really reported something like this to the park or government because why would they? It’s just their way of life.
I’m not saying she did it maliciously, and she apologised which is honourable but perhaps she didn’t really did her research about what she was getting into before doing the track.
You are saying “No that’s suicide” but on the bbc article the Ms Kabloona says “On one of these annual 186-mile (300km) journeys, Ms Kabloona's grandmother went into labour and gave birth to her father in a tent along the way.”
It’s not me disagreeing with you, it’s the people that live ON the land calling it total BS and defending that her claim or race is not accurate. Again ”Saying you're the 'first person' to do anything in an indigenous country is insulting.” it’s insulting because she probably didn’t. She might be the first woman to claim she did but it doesn’t make it true. At least if we are to believe the current people who live there.
I guess the point is not how the story came to be but the claim she made which was found out of order by the community living there.
