Hide out: women in Cambridge Bay compete in the muskox hide cleaning competition during that community’s recent Omingmak Frolics festival held May 12-19. In the Ekaluktutiak Hunters and Trappers Association-sponsored event, competitors were judged on the quality of their work as well as their speed. Lucy Haniliak won the competition with Martina Kapolak in second place and Annie Agligoetok in third. Agligoetok was singled out as having the cleanest hide. (PHOTO BY RED SUN PRODUCTIONS)
