but for the Federal Government as well. When Mary was available, Annie says, “It was good to learn what was wrong and to know what the medicine was for.” One of the happy memories Annie has is when she and
other Inuit became friends, even though they were from different parts of the Arctic. One new friend she remembers the most is Qalik. Qalik had a very sad story to tell. Her husband was out on the land hunting for the family for several days. Qalik went for the annual medical check-up and was told not to get off the ship because she had TB. The hospital ship sailed away before her husband returned, so her husband never knew where she went. He got home to an empty tent, no wife. The husband wrote and the letter finally found Qalik a year later. When Qalik finally received the letter, she wept and wept until she was exhausted. When Annie thinks back to her times in Hamilton, she
wonders how she and the other Inuit, who didn’t speak a word of English never got lost on the way to the hospital or on the way back home. There were no interpreters or escorts.
