Nancy tells the incredible true story of Nancy Columbia Eneutseak Palmer, a Nunatsiavut Indigenous woman from Labrador, Canada. Nancy was born in 1893 in a human zoo at the Chicago World’s Fair as part of an "ethnographic exhibit". known as The Eskimo Village. Nancy became its star attraction when news broke that her mother had given birth to her inside an imitation igloo on the fairgrounds. Nancy's name was bestowed not by traditional Inuit naming ceremony but by public spectacle. Yet she embraced all of it: her strong sense of identity and connection to a home she'd always known though never seen. Alongside this, she walked in a strange world of curiosities and customs, settler culture and colonial expansion, which she understood just as well. In this era of conquest, exploration, and industry, in which the Artcic was both the next frontier and passing fancy, Nancy, too, circumnavigated the poles, those being the farthest distance between two points -- and connected them with a single thread of coherence that spanned the farthest reaches and built a bridge between them, Traversable from both sides, navigable full circle, legible to all.
