“The caribou is very important to us. With only one caribou, we can get a lot of things like meat to make dry meat and also the hide to make moccasins. My parents grew up like that, even me, until this day. Even in wintertime, when people shoot caribou, they don’t throw nothing away. The hide, they take it, and the women work on it. That’s our traditional life. That’s the way our family raised us, and we want to continue. In the olden days, our elders lived on caribou. They made lots of things from caribou but right now they are saying there are no caribou in our community, no meat. We have to go to the barren lands in the area around the mines to go hunting. Gas is so expensive. What are we going to do if there is no more caribou? What will we eat? “
