Ralph Kimiksana working on a recreation of traditional clay oil lamp like those that he saw when growing up in the Cape Bathurst (Avvaq) and Stanton (Qikuliurvik) areas. The work was facilitated by Don Gardner of Oldways (Calgary) for the PWNHC. Sand in the tub and ground charcoal was added to the clay mixture. This attempt was not kept but reworked into another shape. Tuktoyaktuk, 1993. Photo by John Poirier, NWT Archives/TTKP

Ralph Kimiksana working on a recreation of traditional clay oil lamp that he made with Don Gardner (Oldways, Calgary) on a heritage project with Elisa Hart (researcher, PWNHC). He is rubbing ash mixed with beluga oil on the outside of the lamp. This was the second and final lamp made and it had a better shape than the first try. The lamp is stored at the PWNHC in Yellowknife. Photo taken in Tuktoyaktuk, 1993 by John Poirier, NWT Archives/TTKP
