A curious sight on the lakes to

 sleds which, during the winter months, are drawn to and over a hole cut through the ice; in these, protected from the winds,
 they set for hours hooking white fish and trout. Others, not so fortunate, have a small piece of
 caribou hide which they spread
 beside the fish hole; kneeling on
 this, with a fur thrown over
 their back, they, huddle for hours.
