Eva and her family get ready to head out onto the land, making sure they have got water

Ingy fixes the screen to dry the caribou meat on, cutting wood to create four legs for it to stand on. And then butchers one of the caribou carcasses, saving the skin for someone to make a drum.

Eva works, cutting the meat into thin slices that her daughters, Elizabeth and Stella take to the screen and unfold them so they will dry.

Eva teaches Elizabeth how to cut the meat so that it is unfolding and will dry well. They put a pot on to make caribou lard full of hooves, and leg bones.

Ingy starts skinning another caribou and breaking it down into smaller pieces for Eva to cut up for dried meat.

While Eva, Elizabeth and Nuatie work on the meat, Paul works on breaking down the bones and splitting open the caribou heads.

Sophie, Elizabeth and Eva work hard to process the meat quickly as more black flies appear.

Waiting for the next caribou to be skinned, everyone gathers around the cookpot, eating the caribou heads that have been cooking over the fire. Eva and Elizabeth gather the dried meat on the 3rd day.
