Description:
A group with Susie Akootchook (Tiġigḷuk) standing in the back on the left end and Job Kunullaq kneeling in the front wearing the white snowshirt. Kunullaq was married to Rex's grandmother on his father's side, and taught Rex to shoot. When Kunullaq was older and not hunting so much, he only wore a white snow shirt on Sundays.
