4 Adults (18 years and over)

 Jerry, Pakak, Nymon, and Esa shape and lengthen the boat, perfecting the bow's curve and angle

 Jerry, Pakak, and Esa cut plywood to shape the boat; Pakak and Esa then take a tea break.

 Jerry, Pakak, and Nymon lengthen the bow piece for taller boat walls, then clean up and head home

 Jerry and Pakak search for a buried boat, then plan and start shaping the bow for their new boat

 Esau traces animals on the tail, carves them, then sands around them to make the figures stand out.

 Esau and friends share stories over coffee, then he grinds the stone outside as a tail takes shape

 Esa cuts a new stone from a block and shapes it, trimming pieces to form a rough outline.

 Esau sketches animals and fur on the bear, rinses and dries it, then has coffee with Jerry and Pakak

 Esa fixes his grinder, shapes the bear as Pakak and Nymon watch, then switches to sanding it.

 Esau cuts stone, outlines a new bear, and begins shaping it with a grinder outside.

 Esau carves the bear, defining legs and face; grinding reveals color shifts in the harder stone.

 Esau adapts his polar bear to incorporate the piece that cracked off, continuing to shape it

 Esau shapes the bear with a grinder, but a crack forms and part of the carving breaks off.

 Esau rides out to find stone, brings it back, and carves smaller pieces into a polar bear figure.

 Congratulations to James Keevik from Tuktoyaktuk - the Week #6 Ice Watch Winner for their SIKU Ice Post documenting open water near their community.
