How the SUV came to Salluit

How the SUV Came to Salluit, by Andrea Lennox

Thre years ago the villagers of Salluit travelled by snowmobile, dog-sled, boat or plane. A couple of years ago, a big mining company started mining a few kilometres from Salluit. The land belong to the village of Salluit. This was a problem for the big mining company. It was quickly resolved however, by giving each man, woman, child and baby 40,000.00 dollars.

Now the villagers felt very rich.

They each went out and bought themselves an SUV.

Instead of two Great Lakes freighters arriving the next summer, three came. One freighter was filled with oil. One was filled with building material, medical supplies and food. The last freighter was filled with SUV's.

The last freighter was filled with SUV's.
