Munck's Cafe Publishing House

Munck's Cafe is a sub-arctic, outdoor martini bar disguised as a small publishing house just outside of Churchill, Manitoba. We focus on nature and history books about Churchill and northern Canada. The main title is Polar Bears of Churchill but here are a few others that we have helped bring to life.

If you have a manuscript or book idea about the north, send us an email we would love to hear about it. Email Muncks Cafe.

Churchill on Hudson Bay (2006)

In 1982, the collected writings of two of Churchill's pioneers, Angus & Bernice MacIver, were published as a history of Churchill, Manitoba. This enjoyable little book combines stories from the trapline with a well-researched history of the area. It is a nice glimpse into Churchill's past.

Ataatatsiaraluk: Realizing an Arctic Dream

Attatsiaraluk means Beloved Grandfather in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit. This was the name given to Arsene Turquetil, a roman catholic missionary that travelled and taught in the land that would one day become Nunavut. Set in the early 20th century, Ataatasiaraluk follows his journey to bring religion to the Inuit.

Polar Bear Alley is a real place but not this place. It is a strip of white sand beach along the coast of Hudson Bay near the former site of the Churchill garbage dump. A beautiful place for a picnic if you know how to handle a shotgun.

This version of Polar Bear Alley is created by Kelsey Eliasson in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada or more specifically at Camp Nanuq -a 'cottage suburb' twenty kilometres or fifteen miles east of Churchill. I also run a publishing house called Munck's Cafe and write a few books, including the newly released Polar Bears of Churchill, when not chasing bears of my porch.


Polar Bears of Churchill is a comprehensive guide to the Polar Bears of western Hudson Bay and their relationship with Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. It combines seven years of guiding experience in Churchill with the latest scientific research and some colourful local history. Independently published in Churchill, Manitoba.
