Annie
Sewoee
Annie
was born in Ennadai Lake. She came from the Asiarmiut tribe. They call
Ennadai Lake Atiqtuniarvik. Annie was raised at Ennadai Lake. She had a
brother named Palikssalik. Her grandmother was Qajaijuaq. Her grandfather
was Siquaralaaq. Siquaralaaq’s first wife was Hanaaq and his second wife
was Ipak. Usutuuq was Siquaralaaq’s older brother. Annie and her family
spent their summer and winter’s living in Akuttuniarvit. In their tribe
there was Nutaralutjuakut, Aijaakut, Saumikut, Miasaakut, Mikikut, Paugalaatjuakut
and her in law’s Nanujuakut.
Annie
came to Arviat in 1986. The Police came and moved them to Arviat. She said
they were put in planes and taken away to a new land. This happened because
their tribe was starving and there were no animals around to hunt. Annie
was so used to living in Ennadai Lake that she was afraid they wouldn’t
survive without trees for wood, caribou and birds for food, and that the
water was bad. After a while she got used to the new land and knew that
they could survive.
