11 THE ULU II is one f'lf Holman I a Centennial
pr~jectR. We are pleased to p~blish our
first edition and hope tc continue to io ~o
every two months. The name· seemed an appropriF-te one since the Eskimo 1 fl nacne for Holman
is 11Uluksartnk 11 • Li tera.lly translated, 11 The
place where one finds suitable stone to make
ulus 11 , The people wc-uld cc-llect the slate
which is 3.bundant on on5 of the hills· that
dominates tl:-:e village. The 11 ulu 11 is the
wor:J'J.n 1 s fan-sho.ped knife, It is u·sed to cut
meat or fish, flesh skin and for all the_
innumerable jobs dcne by .:sk~~c wo~en,
During this Jentennial 1eari it is
hoped that 11 \!luksartok 11 will be a.dcpted by
the "}overnment as the offic:•_al name of the
settlement to replace 11 Halman en the maps.
The school too, couli be na~ed 11 Uluksartok
School". Coppe~~ino has nam~d their school
after the Eski;:o no.me for Coppermine. The
former name of Tuktoyaktuk, wr.ich was Port
3Yabant, has al~ost been forgotten. Preserving these fine '.!:sl:i:no names seems to be a
very worthwhile Centennial Project.
11 THE UL~~ will 3.ttempt to acquaint the
re~ders witn many of the ex:iting tales of the
Holman hunters ar.d legends of the old folks.
We ~ave fine artists a~cng cur p~pulation
of ~25 people. r::e cover desi.:-;n for each
edition w:ll be done by one o.:' the 1 !01:nan
~rti~ts, Translation is alsc do~e by the
loc~l E~ki~o in tte copper dialect. There is
no ::+,9.ndard, a~thcrized orth:)ifYap'7 in use
bare as yet.

S'I'OSY OF <X'VEP
This ~rawing rcfresents an old eskimo tradition t::a.t hs; rer.ed when the~sun reappeared at
the '.:-:or!_zon, 'i/han the _people saw it for the
-~~st time, they would offer it seal blubber, 1
7~~ Jhildren wsuld do as t~eir mothers.Walkini
toward ~be sun, they woul~ throw small pieces
of f1t on the ice. When returning to their
igloos, they would pick up a bit or snow that I
·,12..s :~ixed with the blubber. This mixture would;
be offered to v~sitor8, Everyone would taste i~
1
children, women, men, elderly people.
From the sn:'.'G i_<?;loo i '.T:any offered blubber to
tre sun. OftentiJes, an old couple wouli also
offer t~eir part to the sun. S~eing t~e sun
they would ask her to keep them warm during
tha new yea.rand they would rej-ice, Long ago
t~is was the custo~.
Also w~en a seal bunter had just killed tte
:::'irst se:J.l after the sun re=".;: reared, he would ,
eat t~e liver, and offer u ;iece to t~e sun.
~~~~did not want to eat the liver, he would
:~akl] a piece of 1::-lub'~er and a'f'ter h=.\Ving put
~tin bis m~uth, he would throw it to the sun

A MESSAGE FROM Y0t1R SCHOOL
Many parents used to be sad when their
children went away to Inuvik to school. When
they-, saw tlieir children off in September they
knew that it would be t•~e end of June before
the~ would see the school plane bringing the
stUdents back.
'' In the spring of 1965 the people of
Polman were excited to know that the material
coming b on the air-lift was to be used to
bt.:ifd a scl:ool 9 a power-house, h~1uses for
tes.cb.srs and a warehouse.
. rhe peot'' Je of Holman 1:13.ve ms.de sure that
t. 1:eir c'::ildrer: have r:1ade gcod use of t'~eir
schgol, T~ey h~ve one of the best attendance
records in the Terri tori es. THs is because
~olman parents get up in the mornin~ and ~et
their children off to school. Just a few, a
very,,few, find it hard to do this.
''All the teac!-iers are pleased to hwe yo-,1.

TE'E EAGLE THAT KIDNAPPED A JIBL"
by Kalva.k
The eagle saw a little girl gathering
some wood. P.e flew down and grabbed her
and flew with her to his ne1:1t in the middle
o;e::a.
high cliff. He brought ' her some wood
,,i,,
.
an ' then went to hunt for food.
. The eagle found a young caribou and
br~ught it home for food to the young
g!rl. Each time the eagle brought a young
caribou home the girl would take the sinew
off, from along the backbone of the animal.
ff' Finally when ther·e was lots of ·sinew·,
th~ girl started to braid the sinew. She
wo,t,lid only do this when the eagle was away
hu~"ting for more caribou. · When she· saw the
ea.gle r.eturning she would hide the sinew
and the braid so that the eagle wouldn't
knbw what she was soing.
.
·.
.
"(f The eagle told the girl that she must
allfa:,1 s keep the fire lighted so ,she did this;
The braid got longer and longer, and
she; would see if' the braid would reach the
bottom of the cliff eac~ time· that the
eagle flew away. At last it was long enough
and she found a place to tie one end of the
braided sinew.
Ilk As soon as the eagle flew off again,
sh; made a great smoke from the fire and
started to climb down the cliff by the
br.!i_ided sinew. When she reached the bottom
sh1:t ran home to her parents as fa.st as she
could.
,if; The eagle returned and found that the
gffl was gone so be started to search for her.
He·:reached the girl •·s home and asked the
gir1 1 s father for the girl• The father
re_fused but the eagle kept on asking. Finally,
the father said to the eagle, "Face the sun
and start da.Ming as ha.rd as you can and I
witl let you take my daughter with you". The
eagle a.id this. Then the fa.her said, 11 Flap
yq\ir wings as hard as you can. n The eagle
sfarted to dance and flap and sing.
:~;l,; The Eagle said, ttHe told me to dance
an.d' I danced without a drum, but I act as if
I ijad one and I sang "Kiuk ••• kiuk ••• kiuk".
ii} While the eagle was dancing and singing
the.father suddenly grabbed him, tied him up
and" stabbed the eagle with a knife and that
is_;~'tihe end of the story of the ea,;;le who
kid?apped a little girl.

A POLAR BEA.P. HUN'!'.
by Ji.mmy" Memorana

·•:,.
~....
~
·~ .. ·.
.. ·· · r~·used to go after _a lot of :polar bears
in rny time but this one bear was _the toughest
one· I ever met. I followed it ...with the dogs
for a long time and finally I started to get
closer to it. Two of my dogs reached the.
bear but coul d·n· 1 t stop it so r had to keep on
following 1·t. _After a long time H started to
get tired and slow up, and I got a little
closer. It was st il 1 out of range o.f my 270
rifle a.nd I only had two bullets left. The
bear- was getting close t_o the cliff along the
ocean shore. This was his only chance to
escape.
I took a chance of shooting the bear.
The first shot was low and iust clipped the
skin and wounded a leg.
· Tr;en ·I started. to chase it on foot running up hill for a long time. It was getting
farther away so I fired my last shell and hit
it on orie of its legs. · The bear stopped running and was fighting my two dogs. I stood
and looked at the bear for awhile and then
dicided to let all my dogs loose from the
line. The dogs formed a circle around the
bea.r. I wondered how I could fi.nish off the
bear with no shells left. There was a little
village called Minto Inlet some miles away and
it would be too dark by the time I went there
to ask for ~elp. Suddenly I thought about
tent pole and knife. I ti'9d them together
to make a spear. I· walked toward the_bear
throwing rocks and snow at it. The first time
I got close it started afte:: ~e and the dogs
couldn't keep it from chasing me. I ran witt
a:1 my strength and circled back toward the
dogs. When the bear met the dogs it stopped.
I stayed away from the bear for a long while
because I remembered how I felt when it was
chasing me.
I went back toward the bear and the dogs
kept it from chasing me again. All the time
I am trying to think how I can SJ?ear that
bear. I started to creep up to it from the
back. The dogs were keeping it busy. I ran
at it and it turned and stood up on its hind
feet and I drove the spear into its belly and
turned and ran for safety.
When I looked back the knife was on the
ground near the bear. Slowly the bear began
to lie· down and went near enough to get my
knife. The hear didn't move. I poked at it
with tl1e spear. The fight W(',S over.
I took the bear and dragged it down riill
to the snowy ground where I tied it with a
rope to the sled and pulled it out onto the
sea-ice from under the cliff and t~ere I
skinned it.

11 THE ULU II is one f'lf Holman I a Centennial
pr~jectR. We are pleased to p~blish our
first edition and hope tc continue to io ~o
every two months. The name· seemed an appropriF-te one since the Eskimo 1 fl nacne for Holman
is 11Uluksartnk 11 • Li tera.lly translated, 11 The
place where one finds suitable stone to make
ulus 11 , The people wc-uld cc-llect the slate
which is 3.bundant on on5 of the hills· that
dominates tl:-:e village. The 11 ulu 11 is the
wor:J'J.n 1 s fan-sho.ped knife, It is u·sed to cut
meat or fish, flesh skin and for all the_
innumerable jobs dcne by .:sk~~c wo~en,
During this Jentennial 1eari it is
hoped that 11 \!luksartok 11 will be a.dcpted by
the "}overnment as the offic:•_al name of the
settlement to replace 11 Halman en the maps.
The school too, couli be na~ed 11 Uluksartok
School". Coppe~~ino has nam~d their school
after the Eski;:o no.me for Coppermine. The
former name of Tuktoyaktuk, wr.ich was Port
3Yabant, has al~ost been forgotten. Preserving these fine '.!:sl:i:no names seems to be a
very worthwhile Centennial Project.
11 THE UL~~ will 3.ttempt to acquaint the
re~ders witn many of the ex:iting tales of the
Holman hunters ar.d legends of the old folks.
We ~ave fine artists a~cng cur p~pulation
of ~25 people. r::e cover desi.:-;n for each
edition w:ll be done by one o.:' the 1 !01:nan
~rti~ts, Translation is alsc do~e by the

This ~rawing rcfresents an old eskimo tradition t::a.t hs; rer.ed when the~sun reappeared at
the '.:-:or!_zon, 'i/han the _people saw it for the
-~~st time, they would offer it seal blubber, 1
7~~ Jhildren wsuld do as t~eir mothers.Walkini
toward ~be sun, they woul~ throw small pieces
of f1t on the ice. When returning to their
igloos, they would pick up a bit or snow that I
·,12..s :~ixed with the blubber. This mixture would;
be offered to v~sitor8, Everyone would taste i~
1
children, women, men, elderly people.
From the sn:'.'G i_<?;loo i '.T:any offered blubber to
tre sun. OftentiJes, an old couple wouli also
offer t~eir part to the sun. S~eing t~e sun
they would ask her to keep them warm during
tha new yea.rand they would rej-ice, Long ago
t~is was the custo~.
Also w~en a seal bunter had just killed tte
:::'irst se:J.l after the sun re=".;: reared, he would ,
eat t~e liver, and offer u ;iece to t~e sun.

A MESSAGE FROM Y0t1R SCHOOL
Many parents used to be sad when their
children went away to Inuvik to school. When
they-, saw tlieir children off in September they
knew that it would be t•~e end of June before
the~ would see the school plane bringing the
stUdents back.
'' In the spring of 1965 the people of
Polman were excited to know that the material
coming b on the air-lift was to be used to
bt.:ifd a scl:ool 9 a power-house, h~1uses for
tes.cb.srs and a warehouse.

~olman parents get up in the mornin~ and ~et
their children off to school. Just a few, a

TE'E EAGLE THAT KIDNAPPED A JIBL"
by Kalva.k
The eagle saw a little girl gathering
some wood. P.e flew down and grabbed her
and flew with her to his ne1:1t in the middle
o;e::a.
high cliff. He brought ' her some wood
,,i,,
.
an ' then went to hunt for food.
. The eagle found a young caribou and
br~ught it home for food to the young
g!rl. Each time the eagle brought a young
caribou home the girl would take the sinew
off, from along the backbone of the animal.
ff' Finally when ther·e was lots of ·sinew·,
th~ girl started to braid the sinew. She
wo,t,lid only do this when the eagle was away
hu~"ting for more caribou. · When she· saw the
ea.gle r.eturning she would hide the sinew
and the braid so that the eagle wouldn't
knbw what she was soing.
.
·.
.
"(f The eagle told the girl that she must
allfa:,1 s keep the fire lighted so ,she did this;
The braid got longer and longer, and
she; would see if' the braid would reach the
bottom of the cliff eac~ time· that the
eagle flew away. At last it was long enough
and she found a place to tie one end of the
braided sinew.
Ilk As soon as the eagle flew off again,
sh; made a great smoke from the fire and
started to climb down the cliff by the
br.!i_ided sinew. When she reached the bottom
sh1:t ran home to her parents as fa.st as she
could.
,if; The eagle returned and found that the
gffl was gone so be started to search for her.
He·:reached the girl •·s home and asked the
gir1 1 s father for the girl• The father
re_fused but the eagle kept on asking. Finally,
the father said to the eagle, "Face the sun
and start da.Ming as ha.rd as you can and I
witl let you take my daughter with you". The
eagle a.id this. Then the fa.her said, 11 Flap
yq\ir wings as hard as you can. n The eagle
sfarted to dance and flap and sing.
:~;l,; The Eagle said, ttHe told me to dance
an.d' I danced without a drum, but I act as if
I ijad one and I sang "Kiuk ••• kiuk ••• kiuk".
ii} While the eagle was dancing and singing
the.father suddenly grabbed him, tied him up
and" stabbed the eagle with a knife and that
is_;~'tihe end of the story of the ea,;;le who
kid?apped a little girl.

A POLAR BEA.P. HUN'!'.
by Ji.mmy" Memorana

~
·~ .. ·.
.. ·· · r~·used to go after _a lot of :polar bears
in rny time but this one bear was _the toughest
one· I ever met. I followed it ...with the dogs
for a long time and finally I started to get
closer to it. Two of my dogs reached the.
bear but coul d·n· 1 t stop it so r had to keep on
following 1·t. _After a long time H started to
get tired and slow up, and I got a little
closer. It was st il 1 out of range o.f my 270
rifle a.nd I only had two bullets left. The
bear- was getting close t_o the cliff along the
ocean shore. This was his only chance to
escape.
I took a chance of shooting the bear.
The first shot was low and iust clipped the
skin and wounded a leg.
· Tr;en ·I started. to chase it on foot running up hill for a long time. It was getting
farther away so I fired my last shell and hit
it on orie of its legs. · The bear stopped running and was fighting my two dogs. I stood
and looked at the bear for awhile and then
dicided to let all my dogs loose from the
line. The dogs formed a circle around the
bea.r. I wondered how I could fi.nish off the
bear with no shells left. There was a little
village called Minto Inlet some miles away and
it would be too dark by the time I went there
to ask for ~elp. Suddenly I thought about
tent pole and knife. I ti'9d them together
to make a spear. I· walked toward the_bear
throwing rocks and snow at it. The first time
I got close it started afte:: ~e and the dogs
couldn't keep it from chasing me. I ran witt
a:1 my strength and circled back toward the
dogs. When the bear met the dogs it stopped.
I stayed away from the bear for a long while
because I remembered how I felt when it was
chasing me.
I went back toward the bear and the dogs
kept it from chasing me again. All the time
I am trying to think how I can SJ?ear that
bear. I started to creep up to it from the
back. The dogs were keeping it busy. I ran
at it and it turned and stood up on its hind
feet and I drove the spear into its belly and
turned and ran for safety.
When I looked back the knife was on the
ground near the bear. Slowly the bear began
to lie· down and went near enough to get my
knife. The hear didn't move. I poked at it
with tl1e spear. The fight W(',S over.
I took the bear and dragged it down riill
to the snowy ground where I tied it with a
rope to the sled and pulled it out onto the
sea-ice from under the cliff and t~ere I
skinned it.
