I go up to Nunavut and the Territories a lot for work, the people are very friendly and I actually enjoy the Rankin Inlet visits.
But after 5 days I am absolutely dying to get out of there, and when my flight out gets delayed by a day or two which happens a lot, it's very depressing. Talk about being trapped.
As horrible as it sounds, when I drive around these towns I have one thought running through my head over and over, "Why do these people live here?".
