Inscribed beneath images: 78-1950 - Jorgan Klengenberg, his wife and family residing at Rymer Point, about 15 miles from Read Island. 79-1950 - At Rymer Point the Klengenbergs have some very fine peterheads. Jorgan owned this boat but was afraid that he would not be able to put it into use as the price of fox was so low he would be unable to purchase gasoline. 80-1950 - During the 1950 Spring Patrol it was found that the caribou had migrated out to the coast in the Coppermine area. Natives from the Read Island area travelled across Coronation Gulf to secure loads of caribou meat usually using teams of 13 dogs harnessed as seen in the picture. These teams were seen as the Administrative Officer travelled by dog-sled from Read Island to Rymer Point. 83-1950 - At Rymer Point this qamutik was seen being mudded. The rough mud being applied and frozen, it is then planed smooth. Just before proceeding on a trip the mud is then iced. No better method to prepare sled-runners has yet been found. 82-1950 - At Rymer Point, which was visited by the Administrative Officer in the Spring of 1950, Jorgan Klengenberg was the only person able to speak English. He is a white man married to a native woman. She is particularly clever at making his caribou clothes and takes greatest pains over his boots. For these she uses not only caribou legs but wolverine and the skins from the forehead of the wold. Klengenberg's mukluks are often copied by the other native women as can be seen by those worn by the young man playing the violin. This young man is wearing a parka made of the skins of sic sic - a small gopher-like animal. He can play the violin quite well, especially the type of music used for square dances. 84-1950 - This man was seen while the Administrative Officer was travelling from Read Island to Rymer Point. He had only a small dog team and a small qamutik and was, it was believed, travelling to his camp only a short distance away.
