Winter Fishing, Nome
750 Edition 8 1/4 x 13 1/2

Ice fishing comes under the category of "women’s work" on King Island in the Bering Sea. "Work?" Not really. Ice fishing is more of a social activity much loved by young and old. Usually several friends go out together withg babies and toddlers and make an afternoon of it. This mother has placed her fish in a semi-circle. When the circle is closed she goes home - an ice fishing custom.
