By Heidi Atter, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Independent It’s frustrating for Rosie Harris to go to the two stores in Nain and be unable to buy essential items like toilet paper, baby wipes,  cleaning supplies, ketchup, or rice, due to the Kamutik W ferry being  unable to deliver to the Inuit community on Labrador’s north coast. Harris has four young children at home who are picky eaters, and  without staple foods they eat, the mother has had a hard time cooking  enough food they enjoy. She’s also been unable to buy the sensitive  laundry detergent her daughter needs, she says. “We are in a crisis, and people need to treat it that way. If not for  yourself, then think of the children and think of the elders,” Harris  says.
