Bathurst

Bathurst Inlet in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, has long served as a Native hunting and fishing ground. The first Europeans in the region were the Franklin expedition who passed through the area in 1821. In the 1920s Dominion Express established a small mining operation in the region and in 1936 the Hudson Bay Company moved a post into the inlet. It was here that Inspector French located the Inuit group responsible for the murder of Street and Radford. Finding evidence that it was done in self defence the officers moved west hoping to catch a Hudson's Bay Company ship for the return journey.
