Above is what Laila, the youngest (10) on our camping trip, did to pass the time while the adults tried to get all of the qamuitiks up a steep hill. (In some cases, two snowmobiles were used to pull the heavier of the qamutiqs up.) Laila made her mark using little pebbles to stand the larger rocks up. As I explained in Email 13, you can tell the children who have spent some time out on the land from the ones who haven't, as you rarely hear the words, "This is BORING!" out of the former.
