Our guide, Pat Sutherland, took us to a Thule (pronounced toolie) house. A
Thule house is constructed by sinking whale ribs into the ground, covering
them with the skins of seals, and then weighting the skins down at the
edge with large stones. These stones form a circle on the ground. We were
all at the edge of the house. From the left: Earl Wilkinson, Bob Burns,
Elsieanna Graff, Pat Largen, Bob Kaller, Peter, Art Wolfe (barely visible
in red), Van, Tom Largen, Chuck Bergman and Nigel Larn. The 2 whale ribs are
at the right.
