Adila Low

I’m retired. My husband and I trap around here and I take the fur and skin it and tan it and sew it into hats and mitts and I even make teddy bears. I’ve been trapping since 1974 and I’ve been sewing fur since 1991.

Ryan Sealy and Andrea Fischer and family

We’ve been trapping since 1993. In late Sept, we move to our trap line. This is what we do and where we live throughout the trapping season. We have three children and because our line is not too far from Whitehorse, they can take the bus and go to school. When summer comes we switch roles – I’m with the kids while Andrea is the wage earner.

Alex Van Bibber

I’m a full-time trapper and trapping instructor. I tell my students that I’ve been trapping since I could bend over and put my snowshoes on and I’ll be trapping until I can’t bend over and put the snow shoes on.
