Up to my Uppa's Fish Camp

 

"One summer day, I drove my uppa Alexander up to his fish camp, which is located above Ohogamiut just below Charlie Boot's camp. Before we took off I called Maurice and Jonathan Nick to ask them to come with us because we would need help doing some things that would take a long time to do with only two people there. After we got ready we went down to the boat and took off.

On our way upriver, I wanted to pick up some driftwood, but each time I slowed down to check some out, my uppa would tell me to keep on going. Before we got to Ohogamiut the river started to get rough, and I stopped for a while so everyone could put on their warmer clothes and rain coats. When we started to go upriver again I noticed that the waves were getting bigger and bigger. So my uppa told me to go closer to the bank and to slow the engine down.

As we neared his fish camp, we stopped to look for a good place to set a fish net. When we found the right spot, we then looked for a big float for the end of the net.

After setting the net, we continued on to the fish camp where we unloaded the boat. While Jonathan, Maurice and I were unloading, my uppa started cooking something to eat. After unloading the boat, I took a walk down the beach to where the net was to tie the rope a little tighter. By the time I returned to fish camp I was ready to eat. After eating we all headed home."
