[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Yes.
It's more common. There are people who are transient, moving into other communities, or they become orphans or they lose their marriage, if there's a marriage breakup. Orphans who end up without parents end up with completely nothing, no housing. They look for people who will welcome them into the warmth of a house. It's very difficult when you're homeless.
If we go out on a travel trip and we end up without a hotel room, we're devastated because we don't have a place to stay. However, this is how people live day to day. We have no homeless shelters in Igloolik, so couch surfing and looking for kind people to let you in and sleep on the couch is the only way to survive the winter.
