	Understanding the material possibilities for knowledge renewal that filmmaking in the community could offer beyond merely the final product, resulted in the organization of a filmmaking workshop and storytelling session at the Netsilik Heritage Center. We hired a young Gjoa Haven-based filmmaker: Barbara Qitsualik to facilitate a filmmaking workshop for community youth. She trained ~~(number)~~ youth to operate a film-camera that we rented from the Natsilik ~~Hereitage~~ Center, for two afternoons. On the third day, we brought in ~~(number)~~ elders and two people of middle age to share polar bear stories and legends in the Netsilik Heritage Center. We also hired an interpreter, so that when necessary stories and instructions could be translated between people and generations. The recordings were passed to the Netsilik Heritage Center.

	Christina helped us gather drums, traditional drumdancing garbs and called three women that would occasionally sing together; Mary Iqiruak, Angelina Aglukkaq and Holle Porter. First we audio-recorded the Pihhiq and the drumdance inside the blue house to make sure that we would have an audiorecording of decent quality. We recorded both visual as well as audio footage of the women singing the Pihhiq song inside a canvas tent that we had set up in the blue house. As they were singing, the three women closed their eyes. After the first take, I asked them why they had done so. They commented that they could just ‘see’ the land that they were singing about when they would close their eyes, indicating a clear connection between the Pihhiq and the land they’re singing about.

	After having filmed the three women singing in the tent we drove them, Christina and the two drumdancers out to the land around the community, close to where some people have their cabins and stayed there for a couple of hours. We filmed Percy and Aldina as they were drumdancing, and the women as they were singing their Pihhiq over and over again. The women were enjoying themselves so much they were not paying attention to whether they were being filmed or not, and just continued singing as long as they enjoyed themselves. This was demonstrated by the occurrence of them ending their song and chatting amongst each other at the exact moment they emerged in the frame during a technically complicated drone shot. Mary commented, like Kathy had, after filming on the land, that it had been a very long time ago that she had been able to go out on the land, and that she had "so much fun"! More than two years later, during the evaluation of the final BearWatch workshops, she recalled how she had initially felt a little intimidated by the whole set-up of singing in the tent, but how much she had enjoyed the day of filming and how grateful she was for the opportunity to sing with the other women and the dancers out on the land.

	During the summer of 2021, my accommodation was the, what is referred to in the community of Gjoa Haven, ‘old arcade’ or the ‘blue house’. This blue house functioned as a launch pad for on-the-land sampling activities for multiple research projects due to its size and affordances for storage. It would also house several graduate and undergraduate students, including myself, that joined for the first part of the trip. Finally, it functioned as a meeting space where we would cook and eat together. There is power and heating in the building, but no facilities or windows. What it lacked in comfort however, it made up in opportunities to connect with people that the hotel did not as easily allow for. Knowing that we were based in the blue house, people would be passing by to pick up supplies and payments slips, or just to chat.
