Latest dispatch for The New York Times -- I travelled to Fort Simpson with Matina Stevis-Gridneff to do a review of "Kiuryaq". I often take for granted how special the aurora is, but a play like this can show us how meaningful it is to Northerners. Enjoy!

Kakisa is the smallest community in the Northwest Territories. The original settlement was moved to its current location because of wildfires about 60 years ago. Over the past decade fires have come close to burning the tiny community, triggering memories of forced relocation due to climate.
