Link: Vancouver Sun, Canada With the Vancouver Winter Olympics three months away, the traditional Olympic Torch Relay has been skirting Alaska's border in Western Canada, bringing the spotlight to villages that rarely get media attention. The torch was in the tiny Gwichin village of Old Crow, Yukon, on Wednesday, and villagers -- some in caribou skin clothing -- piled onto snowmachines to lead a half-mile parade. On Tuesday, the torch was in British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands, being carried between villages in Haida canoes. Next, the torch is headed to Inuit villages in Canada's Arctic territories.
