Fort Good Hope
Fort Good Hope (or the Charter Community of K'asho Got'ine) is a charter community in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is located on a peninsula between Jackfish Creek and the east bank of the Mackenzie River, about 145 km (90 mi) northwest of Norman Wells. The two principal languages are North Slavey and English. Hunting and trapping are two major sources of income.
Demographics
According to the 2011 Census the population was 515, a decrease of 7.5% from the 2006 Census. In 2006 the Aboriginal population was 515, of which 460 were North American Indians, 40 Métis people and 10 Inuit. In 2012 the Government of the Northwest Territories reported that the population was 559 with an average yearly growth rate of -0.5% from 2001.
Transportation
The only all season access is by air, Fort Good Hope Airport, with flights operated by North-Wright Airways from Inuvik, Norman Wells and Colville Lake. The community can be accessed in summer using the Mackenzie River. There is no passenger service and the route is primarily used by the Northern Transportation Company for the summer sealift. Winter access is possible via a winter road from Wrigley located further south. The NWT government is seeking federal funding to help extend the Mackenzie Highway from Wrigley to Tsiigehtchic, where it would connect with the Dempster Highway, as of winter 2014 at least eight major river crossings are in place for the new road, some of which are in use as winter crossings.
Fort Goede Hoop, Ghana
Fort Goede Hoop or Fort Good Hope was a fort on the Dutch Gold Coast, established in 1667 near Senya Beraku.
Early in 1782, Captain Thomas Shirley in the 50-gun ship Leander and the sloop-of-war Alligator sailed to the Dutch Gold Coast. Britain was at war with The Netherlands and Shirley captured the small Dutch forts at Mouri (Fort Nassau - 20 guns), Kormantin (Courmantyne or - 32 guns), Apam (Fort Lijdzaamheid or Fort Patience - 22 guns), Senya Beraku (Fort Goede Hoop - 18 guns), and Accra (Fort Crêvecoeur or Ussher Fort - 32 guns).
The fort was occupied between 1782 and 1785 by the British, as well as by the local Akim population between 1811 and 1816. In 1868, the fort was ceded to the United Kingdom in a large trade of forts between the Netherlands and Britain.

Courage
by: Fort HopeSince I've been facing the wind
To claw back things I've lost in sin
The cold won't embraces me again
So I'll hold my breath and count to ten
What about us, about us forgetting
That it's all about us,
About us regretting
The song in our hearts
When our hearts need to sing
It's been months sing we stopped the rain
Oh how my anchors get me through these waves
Stay aligned it's time to be brave
Can the anchors hold me through this change?
Oh my god can you believe I'm here on my knees again
I can't breath or barely hear through the crackling flames
We exchange through the sparks caused by catalysts
Fuelled by the desire within
You can't stop this happening
Since I've been facing the wind
To claw back things I've lost in sin
The cold won't embrace me again
So I'll hold my breath and count to ten
What about us, about us forgetting
That it's all about us,
About us regretting
The song in our hearts
When our hearts need to sing
Because this is my life
It's my life I'm no liar
And now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
I feel this unfamiliar melody
Oh my god can you believe I'm here on my knees again
I can't breath or barely hear through the crackling flames
We exchange through the sparks caused by catalysts
Fuelled by the desire within
You can't stop this happening
Since I've been facing the wind
To claw back things I've lost in sin
The cold won't embrace me again
So I hold my breath and count to ten
What about us about us forgetting
That it's all about us about us regretting
The song in our hearts
When our hearts need to sing
Don't you think
This is my life it's my life I'm no liar
Now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
I feel this unfamiliar melody
What about us about us forgetting
That it's all about us about us regretting
The song in our hearts
When our hearts need to sing
Don't you think
This is my life it's my life I'm no liar
Now I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire
I feel this unfamiliar melody
