"I was born in Hooper Bay on November 13, 1906, down at
the old
sealing camp where the land has been eroded away by the sea. My dad
was from Qissunaq and my mom was from Hooper Bay. There used to be
many people down there at the sealing camp in those days. They used
only skin kayaks for hunting because they had no boats and kickers.
At that time people were very healthy and strong; women too, because
they used to eat a lot of wild foods, and when they cooked the meat,
they cooked it half-cooked. And when the
fishing season came they made their nets out of seal, whale and other
animal sinew. A lot of people were always short on food in the months
of January, February, March and April. But even though they had hard
times in those months, the men went out hunting seals and mukluks
until April when there were not as many stormy days and hunting was
better. In those days they didn't know about game wardens and they
used to hunt ducks and geese by kayak. During the time when geese
couldn't fly, their kayaks were full when they returned home. We did
the same thing from year to year. They used to use harpoons to hunt
birds and geese. They didn't have any shotguns in those days.
Nowadays there are fewer geese and ducks, especially Emperor geese.
We think the Fish and Wildlife are to blame because those people
handled the ducklings to put rings on their legs. When these are
handled by humans the mother duck or goose will not take care of its
ducklings anymore. But they blamed the Eskimos for that. In past
times these people around here tried to make a living by their own
strength, and it was real hard. There were no
stores then; only some strangers came by dogteam, and they brought
things like black bull tobacco and tea and khaki and white cloth, no
calico or gingham."
