I was in a dog team race with Mr. Dressup in Inuvik. He won. My dogs wanted to go off into the wilderness. His dogs went to the finish line.

This is my boat. I took a group of health care workers to Marble Island on Hudson Bay. This was at the West End Harbour.

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, stopped in Rankin Inlet after she opened the Commonwealth Games in Victoria. We entertained her. I gave her the book, NORTHERN LIGHTS, THE SOCCER TRAILS, and I was so proud when she carried as she walked. That is Abraham Tagalik, left. My brother, Jose, right, and my sister-in-law, Nellie, were hosting her. This photograph was taken by Terry Pearce.

This is our cabin. It sits on a hill just west of the Barrier Islands, across the bay from the Diana River, on Hudson Bay, 10 km from Rankin Inlet.

Looking out to Hudson Bay from the cabin. In the foreground are wolf tracks. I guess they came to take a look at us and then turned around and walked away.
