My sister Iirpak taught me all the girly things.
But my brother Apac'aq taught me everything my sister couldn't.
When I was about ten, Apac brought me out bird hunting for the first time.
We went above Tuluksak, when we reached we lay down in the moss.
It took a while for them to come, we waited and waited.
Finally, when they started passing, my brother told me
"When they're low start shooting at them.
Keep pumping the gun or you won't be able to shoot."
There was me, Apac, Boysa, and Arissaq.
We all started shooting when the birds were low and close.
At first I was afraid because all of us were shooting at the same time.
When the flock was gone my brother told me to watch what I'm shooting
and count what I catch.
When we finally went home at night, I was so excited to tell my sister how
many I caught. I caught thirteen geese. As we walked into our home
my sister was putting boxes on the floor for the birds.
When we lay all the birds, Iirpak and my mom started plucking.
I was so tired that I went straight to bed after bringing
all the stuff in from the boat.
After following my brother for the first time, made me want to
go out hunting more often with him.
