AYUQ-ESKIMO TEA
(LEDUM DECUMBENS)
AYUQ GROWS ON THE TUNDRA. WHENEVER YOU
WALK ON THE TUNDRA, YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE THEM. WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO
HAVE A DELICIOUS TEA, THEY ADD AYUQ LEAVES TO THEIR TEA(WHEN THE TEA
IS HOT). SOME PEOPLE TAKE AYUQ OFTEN WITH TEA.(IF NOT COVERED WITH
SNOW)
IF YOU START TO SPIT BLOOD YOU CAN USE
AYUQ FOR MEDICINE TOO. WHEN YOU USE AYUQ FOR MEDICINE, YOU BOIL A
WHOLE BUNCH OF AYUQ WITH ITS STEMS. AFTER BOILING FOR A LONG WHILE,
YOU COOL IT DOWN TO ITS COOLEST POINT. THEN YOU TAKE A CUP AND DRINK
IT. YOU CAN HAVE IT WITH TUNDRA MOSS TOO. YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON CHEWING
MOSS WHILE DRINKING IT.
WHEN THE SEAL BLADDER FEAST DAY COMES,
THEY TIE THE AYUQ REAL TIGHT IN A BUNCH AND HANG IT IN THE QAYGIQ.
THEN THEY HANG THE SEAL BLADDERS UP ALONG WITH A BUNDLE OF KAYAK
PADDLES, HARPOONS, AND GAFF TIED TOGETHER. AS THE SHAMAN IS GOING
THROUGH THE QAYGIQ ENTRANCE WITH A BOWL FULL OF FOOD, HE TAKES THE
AYUQ BUNDLE AND HE BURNS IT FROM THE OIL LAMP. IF THE AYUQ IS DRY IT
BURNS EASILY. HE SPREADS THE SMOKE OVER THE BOWL HE BROUGHT IN, THEN
HE EXTINGUISHES THE FIRE IN THE AYUQ AND BEGINS TO DANCE BACK AND
FORTH. THEN HE PRETENDS TO GIVE THE BOWL OF FOOD TO THE SEAL BLADDER.
THEN HE SHAKES HIMSELF. WHEN HE FINISHES WITH THE SEAL BLADDER HE
HANGS THE AYUQ IN HIS KAYAK. IN THIS WAY HE WILL HAVE THE AYUQ WITH
HIM WHEREVER HE GOES. BUT BEFORE HE GOES HUNTING HE WILL BURN THE
AYUQ AND SPREAD THE SMOKE OVER ALL HIS HUNTING GEAR. THAT’S HOW
THE AYUQ IS USED.
