(Namaryuq)
Born: January 16, 1911
"I was born in Tununak. When I was a little girl
I used to pick green grass and learned to sew a handmade Eskimo
carrying bag. But I only worked on it
every once in awhile, then put it
away and didn't work on it
again for some time. I also made a basket out of
green grass but not a very high one because I got lazy and
put it aside. I was also a small girl
when I first started making a pair of Eskimo mukluks. During
the winter, all day long I put them together. When I
finished working on them I put them on and went outside. I
was alone there and nobody was around.
|
Just then I saw how I had made the mukluks. They were so
sharp they somehow looked like a little mouse's nose. I used to make
anything then, even out of seal intestines. I used to wash the
intestines in water, then blow them up, and then dry them. One time
after scraping them, I soaked the seal intestines in a hole in the
ground that had water in it. I put them in and
I filled it up with more water. While they
were in the hole in the ground I used to go and check them every once
in awhile. Then I took them out, washed them, and blew them up. After
I blew them up, I hung them out to dry. When they were dry I started
working on them the way I saw other people do it.I kept on doing it that way
thinking I really wanted to make something special. So I made a gut window,
and
then I put the window in our house. It was our window for a long
time, and when it was ruined I threw it away
and made another one just like it."
