respek yo elders

elders are great. seriously. some are cute, some are scary, most are downright cool. even the word 'elder' evokes a positive response. reverence and respek are the two r's for my elders.

today's elders are the last real people. they've grown up in the qasgiq with seal oil lamps and been taught the real deal principles for positive living. there is no failing with what they know. they got skills.




here an inuit elder in iqaluit, nunavut shows us some string games. i forgot her name, but she was pretty funny. i won't forget her little tongue twister in inuktitut. it was cute.
