Nunavut elders. Midwife and mentor
Description
Until she was forty years old, Bessie Ashevak lived in igloos and tents, cooked with qulliqs, sewed her family's skin clothing and raised her children. Bessie was a midwife and routinely delivered babies in tents, igloos, on boats - wherever the family happened to be when the time came. Bessies' grand-niece, Violet, a high-school student who has just had her first baby, seeks advice on raising her new infant.
