The Pond Inlet Community Learning Centre held a very successful traditional sewing and literacy project this month. The project was coordinated by Leslie Qammaniq. Adults learned traditional Inuit language terminology and clothing techniques. In this photograph, students are creating a sealskin amoutiq based on a traditional North Baffin design with Instructor (in yellow) Paumee Komangapik. Students left to right of Paumee are: Linda Arnakallak, Rosie Katsak, Angnowyak Kilukishak. Photograph is by: Nathaniel Ningiuk
