ask how my son is and where he is. I would then tell them, he<br />
is right on my back and he is doing great.<br />
Some people would gasp and be<br />
very awed that a baby was on my back.<br />
Then they would study and touch my<br />
amauti and ask how it can carry a baby.<br />
Most of them said that my baby would<br />
stop breathing: ”Can he breath? Is he<br />
sweating? How do you put him in?<br />
How do you take him out? When do<br />
you carry him? How did you learn it?<br />
Why do you use it? Who made it? Where<br />
did you get it? How long do you use it?<br />
What is it made of? Does everyone in<br />
Nunavik have one? How long does it<br />
take to make it? Is it hot? Is it cold?” The<br />
questions were never ending.<br />
But, of course, on the side there<br />
were compliments and many people<br />
were inspired. Two of my friends even<br />
borrowed my amautik but they did<br />
not succeed since they are not used<br />
to wrapping a baby and putting the<br />
baby in the back. And they always<br />
automatically thought that the big<br />
hood is used to carry the baby. It was a hard piece of clothing<br />
to comprehend. Meanwhile I could not understand why<br />

When I think of my culture, where I<br />
was raised with a mother who sewed<br />
winter clothing for all her children<br />
and where I was taught in a school<br />
that had sewing classes, I get very<br />
proud of my history.<br />
