When all the fish is gone up in the lake, we start getting ready to come back to Nain. We have to clean every single thing we used all summer because we have to take everything back home. We clean all the nets and put them on the rocks to dry. When they're dry, we put them in boxes to come home.

We clean the land. We dig the ground and put all the garbage into the ground so when we come back next year it's going to be nice and clean. I wash the clothes and everything that we used for fishing by hand, and fix all of our stuff nice and neat. We gather some food ducks, caribou, and char. We clean them and put them in the fish box and when we come back home I put them in the freezer.

Back in Nain I go berry picking and mussel picking and rock cod fishing. They are like codfish, but a little bit different. I make pitsik out of them. We have enough food in the freezer until spring comes. Then in the springtime we usually start ice fishing. We go up in Nain Bay on skidoo and when we're tired of fishing, we look for partridge or we go outside to look for seals and goose.
