JW> I'm not sure why Yellowknife was selected in 1967.

DD> Politics

Nope, an independent commission was assembled to address the issue
headed by a well respected dean of law who was a constitutional
expert.

DD> and, probably, location.

But that was a factor as Yellowknife was more central to the other
populated places and Hay River is almost in Alberta.

DD> Springfield ,,, is centrally located  (and) Albany (too)

Since the NWT runs from the 60th parallel to the North Pole our
centre is actually the 75th parallel, so logically our capital city
should be on Melville Island, which is an uninhabited island in the
Arctic archipelago that lies partly in the NWT and partly in
Nunavut. [g]

     Title: Gabriella's Fijones Con Seboya Moraderba Con Toutano
Categories: Jewish, Greek, Beef, Beans, Soups
     Yield: 6 Servings

     3 c  Small white navy beans,
          Soaked overnight in water
     4 lb Beef bones with marrow, sawn
          In 3-inch sections
     8    Eggs in the shell
     4 sm Onions, finely chopped
     3    Gloves garlic
          Olive oil
          Salt and pepper

 Beef and Bean Soup with Marrow

 This also is a traditional Romianote Sabbath evening meal. As it
 requires long cooking and includes meat, eggs and vegetables, it
 is also suitable for Sabbath luncheon the following day. When
 called "fijones con louenga bouyida", it is made with ox tongue.

 Wash the beans well and put them in a large, heavy pot. Cover with
 water and bring to a boil over medium heat. After 10 minutes,
 remove the beans, drain, and return to the pot with fresh water to
 cover. Add the eggs in their shells, bring to a boil and simmer
 over low heat. Put the bones in another pot, cover well with water
 and bring to a boil. After 10 minutes remove the scum from the
 top, cover tightly, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
 Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.

 While the beans and bones are simmering, saute the onions and
 garlic ion olive oil. As soon as the beans start to soften (after
 about 2 hours), add the onions to the beans and stir in well.
 Remove from the heat. Carefully take out the eggs and put them in
 the pot with the bones, and pour the beans over all. Season with
 salt and pepper, cover tightly and simmer over low heat until
 beans are very tender. Add water during the cooking to maintain
 the level of cooking. Before serving, remove the eggs, immerse in
 cold running water to cool slightly, shell and return to pot. Put
 the bones in a dish and pour the beans with the eggs into a
 tureen. After serving the soup. Pass the eggs, which are broken
 and mixed in, and then the bones, which can be eaten separately,
 or the marrow scooped out into the soup.
