Johnny Mamgark says he was angry when he heard about the tours of Hubbart Point being offered by Lazy Bear Expeditions.
A northern Manitoba tour advertising a trip to an ancient Inuit hunting camp is raising concerns that tourists' presence there could damage an "irreplaceable" cultural and historical site, and the critical animal habitats around it.
"You wouldn't just build, you know, a hotel right on the Grand Canyon," said Christopher Debicki, vice-president of policy development for the conservation group Oceans North, which was among the groups that recently wrote to provincial Natural Resources Minister Jamie Moses about the tours.Hubbart Point in northern Manitoba is home to an ancient Inuit hunting camp and features artifacts that include tent rings.
"We are taking due diligence to ensure historical, cultural, and ecological importance of natural resources in Manitoba," Moses said in an emailed statement. Doer was Manitoba's premier from 1999 to 2009. Robinson was the member of the legislative assembly for the northern Manitoba provincial riding of Rupertsland, later renamed Keewatinook,
Conservation group Oceans North says it wants the province to take action to protect Hubbart Point and the surrounding areas.
