I To the ancient whalers cf Tigara
I (Point Hope), Ailingnuk is the
Dwellep ol the Moon. According to
the heart and richness of the soul
1 of the pleader he gives and allots
| talismans of whales. When midwin
ter moons have passed, the wives of
the village whaling captains chant
| to "The man in the moon," pleas
j cr prayers, for a successful spring
hunt for their husbands.
They wait until a new moon that
leans to the right emerges in the
night sky. It is the whalers’ moon.
On such a night, Nikuwanna, a
fledgling whaling captain's wife,
; donned her beautiful squirrel skin
; parka. She picked up a stone vessel
j which she had filled with clean
1 and clear fresh water of a pond.
It had a handle of a polished baleen
I string. At the ends of the baleen,
| upon each side of the vessel, was
fastened, vertically, a feather.
I She padded cn her mukluks across
the floor of the sod igloo and low
' ered herself through a trap entrance
i at the front and walked, stooping,
through a low and narrow hallway.
She climbed a short ladder and
emerged cut of the Pallisuk (sky
entrance* into a cold, still night.
She planted her feet on the edge
; of the pallisuk, straightened and
faced the new moon. She raised the
stone vessel, slowly, by the baleen
string with her right hand and held
it aloft toward the lunic crescent
and chanted:

Advice
I “When gasping or panting results ■
from heavy physical effort' in ex
treme cold weather, turn your head
into the hood of your parka and
breathe the air that i? warmed by j
the heat of your body."
This advice is a simple precaution
| against freezing your lungs, which
i would likely happen if you were
breathing hard in the extreme cold. I
