So last night I just put in Wakeham Bay and a number of videos came up. I checked to see if there was anything interesting in the list.
Well one of the little videos featured a woman who was ten years old when I was there in 1966-1969. There was Jessica explaining how to dig clams and eat them . She speaks Inuktituk and there are English captions. She digs the clams , cleans them and tells about eating them. She likes them raw with a bit of old whale or seal oil.
So what a big surprise! So check out this link. Jessica Arngak, Wakeham Bay
Is this the link that you want to post?

Yes, that's the link but I've forgotten how to do links.
DeleteThat sounds interesting especially if you've lived there. I think You Tube has about anything you would want to see. I got started watching a series of videos called "My Self Reliance" about a guy who built a cabin and is living off the grid in the Canadian wilderness.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting and certainly changed my life.
DeleteNo link so guess I will have to do a search of UTube. I never thought of just typing in my home town!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the absence of a link. I've forgotten how to do links.
DeleteHello, it is neat all the different things you can find on You Tube. I enjoyed Jessica's video on clam digging. I loved the scenery. I can not eat anything raw, it must be cooked like in clam chowder. Enjoy your Sunday, wishing you a great new week!
ReplyDeleteI lived in that beautiful place for two years.
DeleteThe internet is full of surprises!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep looking.
DeleteThe list is endless, Red. That was quite a find though.
ReplyDeleteThese people influenced my life greatly.
DeleteYou have had some amazing tales!
ReplyDeleteI've been to places few people have eve heard of.
DeleteThat's a good idea, type in the name of a place you once lived. AnvilCloud gave us the link you needed. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how you make a small video and post it so everybody can look at it.
DeleteSurprising!
ReplyDeleteI was certainly surprised.
DeleteI thought the captions might say, "We had a very nice teacher when I was a girl and his name was Mr Kline. We painted him red and that became his nickname - Red. His wife was a bossy nurse from a faraway place called England. She liked clams too."
ReplyDeleteWell they did give me a name . In English it was crooked mouth. How about that one?
DeleteYouTube is fun to explore!
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while you get lucky.
DeleteFascinating! Where will Hiawatha House take us next? :-)
ReplyDeleteHiawatha House is going back to the same place for another video.
DeleteVery interesting! Did you learn much of the language when you were there, Red?
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting video. I really liked seeing it and the buildings they lived in were great. You must have lived there for three yeas. What an adventure.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a great video and so well done. I really enjoyed seeing it. It really shows how it “Takes a Village to Raise a Child.” It’s wonderful that the village looked out for each other and brought them food.
ReplyDeleteNot really into watching Videos tend to get boraed by them. Not sure I would eat clams as I do not like seafood
ReplyDeleteGreat video, thanks Red!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed amazing what you can find on YouTube, Red. Although, some of the videos there give me a headache when they jump around. Thus one was better than many.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun video!
