Many children come over to bake with us and hang out. Here we have three very well behaved children with the names Putulik, Aupaluk and Leo.
On the right we have a child from my class (Neil) called Elaisa with her two younger brothers.
The golf course with the snow tipped mountains in the background. This is on September 16th. It is now October 11th and the ground is covered completely.
Glowing end to the day. I am still waiting to get a good picture of the northern lights. We have certainly seen some incredible ones!!
This building holds the community freezer where extra caribou meat etc.. would be held and is available to all. The other picture I took did not really turn out but there was another 40 caribou skins drying out on the roof.
We babysat these kids, Jamie and Madeline, one night. Their mother Marion is a fellow teacher who has called Kangiqsujuaq home for 10 years now. Madeline is in grade 2 and is fluent in spoken English and Inutttitut, and her mother plans on putting her in French in two years time. Already very perceptive and quick, skies the limit for her in a few years time. Jamie is quite the character and definately keeps you on your toes.
Madeline and Jamie showed up the following week-end to present us with, our payment for the babysitting, two snow geese. We shared the geese with several other teachers this Thanksgiving and it was delicious.
