Last year in July, I vowed I'd make a shout because of desperation. When Canada makes a stance to do things and just walks all over you, it is hard to know who to turn to for help. Today is D-day of sorts. I would like to wish Jerry Natanine the best of luck as he stands to fight Canada in Court today. We aren't ready for this and I hope our Leader's will ensure that we prepare for these types of industries where if oil industry does go ahead, our People will benefit the most from it. I doubt that we'll see it during my dad's era but I'm sure we'll see it while we are still alive.

Cape Dorset Nunavut, June 2013. We had a small feast and a get-together with the people there as a “get-to-know-us” event.

ᐅᓪᓚᐃᓐᓇᒐᖅ - Ullainnagaq - is up on Sillem Island at Scott Inlet, ᓇᑦᑎᖅᓱᔪᖅ. Its name is "The place to run all the way to." Its name became just like out of the scene from Atanaarjuat. A man had this woman who another man wanted and so they tried to kill him while he was sleeping in his tent. He ran out of his tent and started running. He ran to this area from quite a distance but from exhaustion, it is said he died when he got here. So they named it "ᐅᓪᓚᐃᓐᓇᒐᖅ"—Ullainnagaq.
The successful hunters. They said it was 54 feet.
Yeah, our bunnies do actually shower :P
They climb the ice as if it isn't even slippery, like they don't even slow down when climbing…
If you dropped these, they are along the shoreline near Tupiqtalik. I don't know if they were thrown or dropped. Didn't feel like saying finders keepers.
Well, I went on a one-minute shopping spree and look what I managed to fill ☺ Thanks to the Hamlet for providing us with yummy food when they officially opened the Hamlet office.
Water delivery ☺
Most times, being on top doesn't mean you are at the top ☺
Last week I went to see Grandma and Grandpa over at their resting place and then I went to see Mom at her resting place.
