MOSAIC


Prized catch
Photography and story by Dan Doucette

On a glacier-scraped island off the coast of Nain, N.L., Miriam Jararuse runs her knife through an Arctic char, cutting flesh from bone, then reaches skyward and hangs the fillets on an improvised wooden rack to dry in the sun. At the water’s edge, Miriam’s husband Tom and their adult son Jeffrey are also cleaning char, a relative of trout and salmon, just as their Inuit forefathers had done for generations. If it weren’t for the motorboat and modern clothing, I could easily believe that time itself has forgotten this wild land and that I’m witnessing a scene from centuries past.
