Another jamboree game: Players wear plastic bags over their boots for a slippery hockey game on the ice road.

“Honey bags,” incidentally, are a euphemism for bags of sewage in communities or homes without plumbing.

Here is the harpoon throw event at the jamboree, which simulates the local beluga whale hunt. (The same harpoons are used.)

The target was a bale of hay.

This is the tent that sold Muktuk, chili and Reindeer Head Soup on Jamboree Day.This woman was taking a break on a chair, placed right on the ice. 

Why walk when you can slide? 

 

…it’s the muskrat mobile! (Which is part of the jamboree.)

 Another scene from Traditional Clothing Show-Off day: Two ladies wearing beautiful traditional coats are photographed. 

Here’s a friendly dog on the ice!

 Raw beluga whale cubes, available for $6 at the jamboree. How long before they go bad in the freezer?  

 

It’s -4 today, which means people are enjoying the weather.
