Lorne Kusugak, Nunavut's minister of Community Government and Services, uses a traditional Saami drum to perform an Inuit drum dance song during a tour of the Kittilä municipality in north-eastern Finland. Agnico-Eagle Mines flew Kusugak and a large delegation of visitors from Nunavut to observe Agnico-Eagle's gold mine in Kittilä, whose operations are similar to the company's proposed Meliadine gold mine near Rankin Inlet.
