Dried seal meat from Roland and Lady White.
Dried pike from Lisa Olick...who also gave us a huge sack of dried smelt and several bags of salmon strips (which were delicious)...
Delicious dried fish in Roland and Lady's shed.
Gorgeous detail on a parka sewn by hand by Roland's very talented mother.
Frozen moose liver with an ulu.

Bonnie forgot to bring rubber boots, so she had to improvise.

Roland demonstrates manaq'ing.
Fun for the whole family! :)
So much more fun than the last time I went ice fishing, which was with my dad as a little girl...all I remember is being incredibly cold, more than a little wet and catching absolutely nothing...unlike this time. :)
My first catch.
A lush and a pike for less than thirty minutes worth of work.
Lady showing me how to cut fish.
The lush was ready to spawn, so there was the bonus of fresh roe. Roland and Lady dipped this in a bit of seal oil and salted it for a nice snack.
