Edward Jordan

Edward (Ed) Jordan came to the north in the 1940's to work as a Radio Operator in Arctic Bay and later on at a DEW-line (Distant Early Warning) site becoming the Station Manager. During his time living and working in Arctic Bay he made many friends both with Inuit and southerners. He was given the Inuktitut name of "Kajualuk" meaning "very brown" [?hair]. Two of his notable friends were Canon John H. Turner, Anglican Missionary and Father Guy Mary-Rousselière o.m.i. Roman Catholic Missionary. Ed Jordan was instrumental as radio operator during the time that Canon Turner required medical evacuation by plane and a daring rescue mission in late 1947. Ed's long term friendship with Father Mary, a renowned archaeologist, included trips to the North Baffin area to act as a field assistant during summer archaeological digs (in 1978 and again in 1986) and to visit old friends in the Pond Inlet area. During his 1990 visit to Pond Inlet he filmed his trip to the ice floe edge, with Pierre Quasa as local guide, and his walk up the Salmon River to the old open face coal mine. Ed Jordan died in April 1994 while living in Ontario.
