Interview by Raymond Stone of Marjorie Orange, wife of Bud Orange, MP for the Northwest Territories in the early 1960s. She begins with her move from Ottawa to Frobisher Bay in 1962 when she was six months pregnant. Describing her flight in a DC-3 with no heat in temperatures of 40 below zero and her new home which she considered a warehouse, she recalls the warm welcome from the people at Frobisher. She continues with a description of her husband's duties as a Regional Administrator of the Eastern Arctic highlighting the need for extentive travelling which was very hazardous, the dangerous flights and boat trips in storms. Later as an MP, she and her husband travelled to all communities in the NWT and she details her social life and professional duties including seal hunting trips, her observations of the culture of the Inuit, the feelings of isolation she experienced as a southerner the North; the severe weather conditions; the Royal Visit to the North; her childrens' friendships with the native people; the family move to Fort Smith in 1963; travels around Great Slave Lake; and the visit by John Turner and wife. <60mn>
