Lucy Curley
Beginning
Born in Frobisher Bay, NWT (Iqaluit, Nu) and raised in Cape Dorset (Kinngait, Nu), I was the youngest of my ataata, Kellypalik and anaana, Nubiya Curley - my grandparents.
You'd Either Find Me
- playing teacher with friends after school,
- kitchen floor scanning goods as a cashier,
- in the closet with my ataatas cash handing change at checkout,
- in my sisters attic playing with her things while she's out.
Culture and Language
We all spoke Inuktitut everywhere and it was normal. English was also normal. I only really started speaking English when I moved away as the rest of the kids in Iqaluit did.
Tradition
We spent summers camping and living on the land, eating, hunting and preparing any country food we harvest. I am not particularly fond of fish though. It could been the place we were over the summers that had abundance of fish all summer we stayed, Kangiqsuqittuq. I really don't know but I cant stand the smell of fish.
My Ataata and Anaana
I remember mostly being around my ataata, following him to the store, working around outside the house - either on the machines or something he was building.
One thing I admire about him, he accomplished what he set his mind to - took what others saw as trash or obsolete and repurposed with an added value. His inventions were creative and everyone would be amazed at him.
My anaana did everything in the house with her hands the way they were, she was super in everything she did. I didn't really follow her around but I always needed her.
