Swords and song in Rankin Inlet

Tristan Logan Quasa Duffy Taparti always carries a sword when going out. The 29-year-old Rankin Inlet resident says he owns more swords that he “ever cared to count.” Most of his swords are just for training and are not dangerous to the people around him. On Aug. 5, he performed with his sword at the Jammin’ on the Bay Tribute Fest while singing a song to his father, who carved him his first wooden sword when he was five. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)
