A man and a teenager carving. The man on the left appears to be filing an ivory ring. He is wearing pyjamas and a plaid pattered housecoat. The teenager to the right is working a small unknown piece. He is wearing a circle patterned housecoat over his pyjamas. The table that they are working at has a variety of tools on it as well as a table-mounted vice.

Kidluk is on the left and Jacobee is on the right. In February 1962, Don Reynolds, a staff photographer from the Saint Joseph Museums in St. Joseph, Missouri, USA visited The Pas, Manitoba with the then Director, Roy Coy, on a flora specimen gathering trip. Mr. Reynolds took a series of wonderful journalistic quality black and white photos and created a photobook of his visit, a photobook that the Sam Waller Museum now has in its collection. Images cover the Trappers' Festival, Dog Derby and TB patients at the Clearwater Lake Hospital. What is of particular note with regards to these photographs is that all of the Clearwater Lake Hospital patients are identified by name, home location and various other unique bits of information. The images remained with the photographer and the Museum until his death. Following his death the images were deemed to be unrelated to the Saint Joseph Museums mandate. It was at this point that the Sam Waller Museum was contacted and the photographs accepted in the Museum's permanent collection.
