The health relations to fishing activity is that we get to be out on the land with no social media around and you get to learn where they would get food supplies when they needed it.

Wellness for this is probably a big thing as you get to stay outdoors and all your surroundings are people fishing and catching them with a fishing rod, even if a person hasn’t caught a fish, people tend to make a big pot of stew and eat together before they start fishing again. I have and enjoy going fishing with many others as most of the women where i live tend to go alone as they love it as well.

Inuit culture: Berry picking has always been here. I often think of our ancestors when I’m berry picking; while berry picking, you could really feel connected to the land.

Health: Berries are really great for our health, and you can mix up the berries with what you like having it with. Some people make aluk using mixers, vegetable/canola oil and water, back then, they used seal fat oil to thicken the caribou fat (making it using only their hands) and I believe that using seal fat oil created more taste.

Wellness: When doing an activity like Berry Picking, you connect to the land, the environment. Mentally, Physically, and (maybe emotionally). You get to socialize, so with this being said, berry picking is really good. It keeps us connected to Inuit culture, and it is good for our health & wellness

• In kinngait once the ice is formed and able to cross through snow mobile going to the fish lakes, many people go to the lake and make holes for the fish nets so when the nets get fishes they go back to kinngait and they start to give away to family members and also share a post on facebook for fish for pick up. And when the weather is not too cold for a family to go fishing, many people goes to the fish lake and start jigging.

• When its clam digging time during summer, some people with boat they drop off to the other side of mountain and they also pick up when the high tide is going up, and people also invite people through facebook that if their gonna be at the beach at this time and at this time they will be going out on the land through boat to go clam digging.

• During summer time me, my daughter and her father were invited for weekend to go out on the land in kinngait as we were out on the land I went berry picking and I carried my daughter on my back and her father showed me around the land and was telling stories and when he was growing up he used to be in that camp most of the times. We enjoyed being out on the land as a little family and I got to experience at the camp as they were telling stories and we also went to the fish lake and we got to eat fresh fish along with his family that who invited us.

It is our Inuit culture movement with all hunting, berry picking, and fishing.

We would connect with the land and its a calming feeling when we are out there with family.

The environment does calm us mentally, physically because it is our culture being out there since the begin of our ancestors did.

• Inuit culture is hunting, berry picking, and fishing like our ancestors did, it stick with us as our parents teach us.

• Health is being active out on the land to get food and country food is health.

• Wellness is gathering with couple people to go hunting, gathering with family to go berry picking and fishing. It would all calming us with those activities.

That’s basically an Inuit culture and it helps with the health and wellness by being out on the land with fresh air and if they caught so many fish, when they get back to the town they start to give away fishes to anyone.

During Winter time they go out for seal hunting, it’s their Inuit culture. They give away seal meat, they use the skin to make warm clothes.

During spring time many people go out camping most likely they go fishing and some go ptarmigan hunting and seal hunting.
