Word comes down from the gods that are the new NWT Government that the Kostelnik family are to move to Fort Good Hope, NWT. This will take us three hundred and eighty miles north to the Arctic Circle and closer to the Arctic Ocean. My father’s title of Indian Agent will be no more when he starts work in Fort Good Hope. With the new government the title of Indian Agent changes to Area Administer. John Kostelnik is the last Indian Agent on the McKenzie River and possibly the last Indian Agent in Canada.
People in Fort Norman exclaim that the people in Good Hope are backward; they live like it was a hundred years ago. This is an observance from a community that still uses dogs for transportation and has no outside communications except by VHS radio at the RCMP or the Church. The conversion to skidoos has begun in Fort Norman, but definitely not in Good Hope, we are slowly leaving the Stone Age and climbing into the age of technology in 1967.
