Whitehorse to Watson Lake

Nice morning in Whitehorse. Went to a couple of gift shops--no Native dolls. The Indian Craft Shop had a couple by an artist whose dolls I already have. But they told me about an exhibit of dolls at the Yukon Art Centre of Yukon College--starting in 2 days. :-(

It was an exhibit of dolls from the 3 northern territories of Canada--Yukon, Northwest, and Nunavut.

They showed me a book of the exhibit and suggested I go to the Centre to try to get a copy.

We went, and lo and behold, the exhibit was 90% set up (still working on the sound system for the interviews with doll makers), so I not only got to buy the book but got to see all of the dolls. PMTA!

Tried to take doll pictures, but the lighting was set up in a way that the pics did not come out.

After Whitehorse, we drove on to Watson Lake, stopping at the Rancheria Lodge for dinner.
