Wow! Now that is some fancy qamutiiq!

Hey- Did you know your blog is featured in the newest Up Here magazine? I have been falling behind on my blog reading so I don't know if you posted about that. If you haven't seen it, let me know. I grabbed a free copy today and I can send it to you.

Spelling is interesting. It also depends upon the dialect in your area.

and what's the new rule? Call Darcy to double check these things out (hehe).

You should have kept a copy of "Un Inukshuk solitaire" -- there is a vocabulary/pronunciation list in the back that is very helpful!!

I have a copy of the English version at school .... I'll have to photocopy that back page .... although, it might be of no great help either as it was written by a different community .....
