Sometimes we -- we reach hardship, and I was a reindeer herder then. What can I use for livelihood? When I was -- Especially if I go through hardships.

Then I start eating the parts of caribou. I would eat parts of the stomach from the caribou.

The caribou eats these lichens. Boy, they're really good. They're -- they're -- they're tasty, and they're very soft to eat. And if I couldn't swallow, then I would look for these type of things.

People have already tried them and some people may have not tried them, but they're really good. They're very tasty and they're very soft and they're very chewable.

And this -- that's what I wanted to add. The lichens. We're talking about lichens.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HERMAN REXFORD SPEAKING IÑUPIAQ IN BACKGROUND: I just remembered something. My name is Herman Rexford and I would like to say something. They were talking about boils. Seeps. You know, boils on the skin.

When I was -- Jack Smith used to live in Beechey Point. He started treating me, because I had a boil on my back. He used the skin of the bacon. They didn't have sliced bacon at that time. He put it on my boil and it really hurt.

And so we treated it like that and finally it came out. The oil of the bacon is good for the boil.

Another thing, aiyaraq (sp?), fine sand. If you don't have anything -- You -- you put it on top of the stove and then -- I don't know what, excuse me. It was a heating pad. You can use it as a heating pad types of --

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF AMOS MORRY SPEAKING IÑUPIAQ IN BACKGROUND: My -- my father was older and even though I'm here right now, I have heard and I will talk about the things that haven't been discussed.

I have used these -- I have experienced oil -- boils in my skin. A long time ago, if a boil couldn't pop, they used these willow leaves. They would cover the boils with those willow leaves.

They would just clean it out, and then put some old covers on the boil. And when it happens, then the boil pops and seeps out.

Also, I have heard of this from my father. If you have a bad eye. Eye infection. If a person cannot see very well and their eyes turn red, they use clams.

And then, they use the sharp (shell) and then they cut the little red lines from the eye. They used to treat their eyes in this way a long time ago.

Also, on another subject on the eyes, they also use berries that grow from the land. You gather the berries and then you smash 'em up and use the juice of the berries to put it on the eyes. And then cover it with the cloth. And that's treated for eye infections.

These are the things that I have heard. And I have seen where they treated the eyes. Paneak's father used it.

His friend who was a young lad, Pialook (sp?) and Ahvakan would -- Pialook (sp?) was almost dying and when they couldn't -- the people couldn't treat him anymore, he was an older man and he said, "A person who cannot be treated again in any way, then they should take him out to the sun and just show out the pain." To the sun. Towards the sun. The sun can work wonders, because of the heat.

These are things that I have heard. They're not -- they're very -- sometimes you wonder about the truth of these, but I have heard of these and I have tried some of 'em. And they do work. My name is Amos Morry.

I still use them presently on my nephews whenever they cannot be treated for earaches. Then they -- then she uses that treatment on their earaches. And it still works, because I do have a lot of nephews that I can use my medicine on.

Also, I remembered bacon. You use the skin of the bacon on the wound and then cover it for several days. Leave it like that, and then take it off and -- and it has boiled out. The wound has surfaced.

My grandmother -- my mother used to talk about niġukkaq (sp?). The stomach contents of the caribou. You also use that. And you use it on the tre -- wound for several days and then take it off after several days and it heals by itself using the contents of the stomach of the caribou.

I was also included in treating these wounds. And if we have to support any of these, then we will support this.

My -- presently a person's tiŋŋuq (sp?). Liver. If you treat it in a little way, you don't go away. You have to massage it.
