Gathering fresh water from Duval River

Lisa Evic fills water jugs at the Duval River in Pangnirtung on Tuesday. Her cousin Simeonie Lucassie Aakeeshoo Akpik, who photographed her, says residents regularly travel up the river to collect fresh water and use it for coffee and tea. Fed mainly by snowmelt and glacial runoff, the river is the community’s primary source of drinking water. (Photo by Simeonie Lucassie Aakeeshoo Akpik)
