• Q: Did you trade with Angulalik and what did you do around this area as a young man?
• A: Yes. When his first trading post was located at Flag staff Island that’s the time Angulalik was with one of his first wives. Ekvana commented that’s when both of Angulalik’s wives were still alive. From there Angulalik would take in kabloonaks to and from the area. In the spring time when I first became employed by Angulalik. I started work with Angulalik by trading foxes.
• Q: Did you help him trade furs?
• A: Yes. That’s when his first wife was still alive I have never left him but in his early retirement when he was married to Ekvana I left him. I remember travelling by ship with Angulalik and his family to Cambridge Bay. I would still have been employed if it weren’t for my illness, tuberculosis. From there I left work all together.
