  1. 1
    One Sunday morning, after a brief church service in Deporah's tent, both Papa (centre left) and Deporah (right) illustrate to young people in the camp how to cut a caribou skin to make a parka. "The neck is the strongest part," Deporah says. Women are always busy in camp. I remember Papa, whom I knew and photographed twenty years ago, making what she still calls, "Eskimo popcorn." She cuts seal fat into pieces to fry, then renders the oil for burning in her lamp. When she's almost finished, she squeezes a few handfuls of well-chosen, very deep-fried, greasy but crisp morsels and passes them around to the children. It makes her happy to show me how to mix equal parts moss and Arctic cotton grass to make the wick for her seal-oil lamp. Oopingiviajuk, August 1998 1998.
