KathyT, I'm well aware that the Inuit of Canada aren't providing scientifically legitimate data. It is "hearsay".

But I believe that it is high level "hearsay", because the Inuit are much more focused on the natural world than we "developed world" people are.

The Inuit people are hunters that are very much interested in when there is enough light to hunt, because hunting is an integral aspect to their lives.

I'm living well beneath the Arctic circle, and we get some daylight each and every day during the year. But the Inuit hunters don't enjoy this solar situation.

When the Sun finally appears to the Inuit, they notice because it is a big event to a community that has experienced darkness for months.

Maybe the Inuit are wrong about their perception as to the Sun's position, but I'm still ready to listen to what they are saying.
