Flora Green:
Flora Green "I'm going to tell you about the way it was for my parents when they had no help from white people. They did everything by themselves like go hunting by walking or by dogsled. They had a hard time hunting by foot and dogsled. They only had a few dogs -- up to four maybe. In those days they did not have ski-dos. The boats did not have kickers either -- they only paddled with their bare hands. The men used to go hunting with spears, not with rifles. In those days they didn't use rifles much. It was hard work to go out on the bay and go fishing. They had to work all the time and could never be lazy either for themselves or for other people. Also, they used to get wood sometimes by foot or by dogsled. They used only wood for heating and cooking then, not gas or oil. In those old days a long time ago they had a hard time providing for themselves and their families. If the young people today could see the things our parents used to have to do just to survive they would appreciate them a lot more today. Mostly people used hand-made Eskimo things. And when they caught a seal they shared it with all the people. These days it's different. We buy food with money. Today those who used to be poor get rich, and those who used to be rich get poor.
