Mrs. Duval threading needle [William Duval's wife, Aulaqiaq. Although blind, she was still able to thread the needle and sew.]

Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories (Current day Nunavut), 1946 Library and Archives, Government of Canada. Archives/Collections and Fonds - Item ID #3192235 (x)

Aulaqiaq was the second wife of German-born American whaler, William Duval. Duval had his first whaling expedition to Arctic Canada in 1879, leaving back to the United States in 1883, and finally permanently returning to the north in 1884. William integrated well into Inuit society, as he became fluent in Inuktitut and was given the name of Sivutiksaq (which translates as harpooner).

Aulaqiaq and William had four children, two of whom survived childhood (daughters Towkie and Alookie, born around 1900 and 1902, respectively). Aulaqiaq and William still have many descendants in Baffin Island region of Nunavut currently.

Unfortunately, I could not find much information on Aulaqiaq herself, aside from her marriage to William Duval, and the children they had together.

🎶You're out of touch/I'm out of time🎵

Two years since the Canadian government tweeted and deleted their message that's it's illegal to harvest storm lobsters. I mean fishing is a sport, and the other team just isn't ready, it's unsportsmanlike to grab your opponent while they're jet lagged.

On Parliament Hill, where budgets grow

Among the chambers, row on row

That mark their place, so up high

Room for peasants, there is nigh

Scarce heard amid the fun below

We are the fed, short days ago

We spent like hell to maintain budget flow

On Parliament Hill

Take on our sorrows, we feel low

Didn't get a 4th annual vacation to Mexico

You the taxpayer, must hold us high

Even when all beneficial legislation dies

We sleep on the job while budgets grow

On Parliament Hill

This photo was taken in Ottawa cir. 1939, during King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's royal tour of Canada. The royal tour of 1939 marked the first time a reigning Monarch of Canada stepped foot on Canadian soil. Queen Elizabeth greatly enjoyed her visit to Canada, and would return many more times after the passing of King George VI in 1952.

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

If the U.S & Canada weren't afraid of their own Indigenous peoples getting our landback, they wouldnt be calling the military on us everytime we so much as peacefully protest to not have our water poisoned, but they do. They're terrified of us. That's part of WHY the U.S and Canada is supporting Isntreal, because it justifies their own colonial existence and reinforces colonialism here too.
