| His sons Erling and Thorbjorn Porsild -- Milles
great uncles -- later moved on to Canada where they traveled through out the Northwest -
and Yukon Territories by dog teams; amongst other building the Reindeer Station in the
Mackenzie River Delta.
Mille herself carried on the
tradition when she in 1992 joined Will
Steger expeditions. Because of her extra ordinary talent for working with the huskies,
she was asked to join the expeditions and has since logged thousands
of miles behind dog teams. Born in Copenhagen Denmark she is a published author and fluent
in four languages. Mille is co-founder of NOMADS Adventure & Education and an enthused
speaker at schools around the world. Last year alone she spoke to more than 18,000
school kids throughout the United States. Though "I love to be on the road with the
kids" Milles heart still belongs in the dog yard. She likes to spend as much time as
possible with the huskies – time to develop a close relationship with each dog. As determined and spirited as her Polar Huskies,
Mille has a strong, contagious attitude and an energy level that seems to increase with
every new challenge. " A big part of being in condition is the strength of your mind
and your mental attitude. My attitude is always positive and focused on good
thoughts".
