Photo: Cambridge Bay elders sew figures for wall hanging

Elders at Cambridge Bay’s May Hakongak library and cultural centre sew tiny pieces of sealskin for figures that will eventually end up on a large sealskin wall hanging. Shining from above is a flexible light bought purchased by Cambridge Bay resident Marg Epp, who donated the lamp to the cultural centre as a way of thanking the elders for their help. “I often stop by for advice and ideas. They are all so gracious and willing to help,” Epp said. “I noticed that sitting on the floor sewing, they were a long way from a light source and florescent lights are bad lighting anyway so I wanted to make things a bit easier for them.” (PHOTO BY JANE GEORGE)
