Wow this is a cool photo, do you have more details for it?

Actually the reverse search got some more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Konek
Konek is an elder,[7][1] and lives in Arviat, Nunavut.
Very cool, thank you for sharing!
I believe to have read that Inuit is the plural and Inuk the singular.
I am not sure though if one is supposed to use singular or plural though in this context (like “a girl od the Inuit” or rather “a girl thats an Inuk”)
Sorry for being pedantic.
As I understand it, Inuit is still the accepted ethnonym, in both singular and plural. So an Inuk but an Inuit girl, I think.
You know she’s seen some shit.
I think that expression is saying “wtf are you doing in my house taking my picture?”
Neat, I am also interested in the fact there are stairs meaning this was a more permanent structure then what most think of as an igloo.
Maybe more like one of these? https://cdn.britannica.com/22/69922-050-C5873480/Cross-section-dwelling-peoples-North-American-Arctic.jpg
I feel like it’s shaped in a way to trap heat, but then the smoke vent just negates that?

More space.
-
More of the shelter is out of the wind.

The deeper you go, the closer to the ‘average’ temperature you get, which is usually less miserable than whatever thermometer-breaking sub-zero temperature snap is causing people who are used to the weather to seek shelter.
This is a very arresting photograph isn’t it. Thanks for sharing c:
