​
Seven layers of caribou hides with the fur facing inwards packed with snow on top.

Meta and Harold have noticed changes in their traditional land due to climate change. There are more insects, aphids killing aspen trees and no strawberries this year. Climate change is changing the traditional ways of life in the North.
