Pam Gross, program manager of the Kitikmeot Heritage Society, irons a wall-hanging that was donated to the Kitikmeot Inuit Association in Cambridge Bay on behalf of the Kitikmeot Heritage Society for its efforts to promote and protect Inuit culture. Inuit figures on the tapestry were made by the high school students, the fish were made by Arctic College students, and the rest of the tapestry was created by the elders in residence at the KHS. Trisha Ogina sewed the tapestry together. As for the kakivak, it was made during the harpoon-making program that took place at the heritage centre in March.
