SYNOPSIS:
Women of the Video Collective reenact a traditional women's activity: the use of the qulliq.
The qulliq is the seal oil lamp and stove of the old days, the only source of light and warmth. The women tell the story in words and songs as they install the qulliq in their igloo.

This is an amazing documentary. I appreciate the clarity- it helped me undestand things abput quilliqs and the druing rack I had only read about. I have seen teachers using cotton balls as the wick for the quilliq and explaing Arctic cotton works much better - here I can see that is true. The singing really brought the ideas to heart. Thank
I hope that many Inuit children and their parents who often not had this experience get a chance to see this video. A little treasure
Thank you very much. I have not seen this done before.
Fire and cooking in temperate and tropical climates is quite easy and we do not make it an art.
This is wonderfully simple and elegant.
I truly value this video because of it's authenticity. I've only read about the qulliq, but because of your efforts, I can see the actual item with the process and application. When I present survival skills on my website, I like to speak from personal experience, and you have done this very thing. Thank you very much!
