Kuujjuammiut gather outside their northern village office to see the official lighting of the community Christmas tree Dec. 11. The tree was lit by local elder Elisapie Tukkiapik and kingergarten student Lolly Makiuk, followed by carols performed by the local church choir. This is the second year Kuujjuaq has put up a tree, harvested just outside the community and flown in by helicopter. (PHOTO BY ISABELLE DUBOIS)
