Andy and Mille Thrasher, Inuvialuit of Paulatuk, who run a water truck business and live in a two-story house.

An abandoned DEW Line site -- site of a two-hundred foot high radar dish, which Inuit call white men's ears. These giant ears, surrounded by outmoded and dilapidated buildings and old radar devices for sensing Russian MiG's or missiles, stick up into the sky every 150 miles along the coastline. Technicians stopped manning the stations a half dozen years ago. Fifty-five-gallon fuel drums strewn across the sites leak PCB's into the groundwater. Inasmuch as United States subsidized the DEW Line sites throughout North America, the U.S. Air Force is now paying Canada millions of dollars to clean up the mess.

One of many abandoned sod/wood houses.
