Tua-i-ll' maani April-aam tamatum nalliini nutaan camp-ameggnun ayagangluteng, yuirulluteng-llu ukut wani nunat, yuirutqapiarluteng.

Then in April they began moving to their spring camps, and the villages became empty, completely empty.

Now in those days hunting was done mostly in spring. And when hunters arrived, before we boys became hunters, we'd be the dogsled drivers, and every day we'd get their catch.

The seals our fathers caught were marked; they'd mark them with their own design. And even though many seals were there together, we'd recognize the mark. We'd recognize the mark on the seal and load it in our sled.
