Caribou, 1975: A Dene boy's first hunt
Photo taken from inside the door of Fred Riddle's cabin. That's Fred's little garden right foreground. The stakes are for tying sled dogs. Six caribou appear on the barren ridge upper right. You can see that this location is plumb on the treeline, the taiga-tundra ecotone, as it was positioned back in 1975. It will have shifted since then due to global heating.
Billy's hunt was successful, as other photos show. He smoked the meat and took some of it home to Stony Rapids.
