Susie Emudluk is such a special lady. She has been an Inuktitut teacher for the younger students at the school since I have been in George River. More importantly however, I love her willingness to share stories about the past, share information about the Inuit culture and her own life. I love when our prep periods in the schedule match up so that I can occasionally catch a few minutes in the school office each week. She was one of the women who went on the slushy trip to Koroc on the weekend and that is where I took these pictures. She was very excited about her little fish and then over at the trees she paused with her tea and stretched our her arms while sucking in the deepest breath of fresh air. I loved that moment because it is exactly how I feel so many days up here!- taken with the beauty, freshness and freedom!
