Here is a small excerpt from a beautiful journal:
Quote:At night when the women go to sleep, after an exhausting day of non-stop work. A boyer is used, to keep the tent area heated and warm. He has many responsibilities.
His job is to stay up all night long by himself alone. Keep that woodstove going, by chopping wood using an axe, using very sharp knives cut small pieces of sicpan if needed. Melt snow to wash dishes and clean out the thermoses, Make fresh drinking water for making hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Bring the new filled thermoses down to the hunters and grab the empties and fill them up with new hot beverages. He must keep a constant look out for new cracks in the ice around the tent area, and watch that wind, in case it ever shifts to a strong south wind, he is armed with many rifles in case of a polar bear attack. His duties are many and he is very busy all night long alone. So lie down and go to sleep, your in good hands, hand your matches & lighter over to this boyer, he has to go to work.. !
your in good hands with this 3 year old child!
Yes 3 years old with that much responsiblity ! The very first boyer I met was Howard Stone Jr. I was shocked when this 3 year old asked me for my lighter! I said no. and everyone laughed at me, I can't give a lighter to someone so young. I did not know how well trained these children are! Imagine that ! 3 years old !!!
i HAVE MET several boyers that young over the years and it simply amazes me to no end. How those skills can be achieved so quickly by someone so young! |

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful group of people.

Tony

You're right. It's a treasure. I bookmarked this, and I'm sending the link to everyone I know.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
