Former Hudson’s Bay Company employee Scotty Gall being interviewed by NWT Archivist Richard Valpy. NWT Archives/ N-1988-040.

Richard Valpy: How much business was Angulalik doing with you?

Scotty Gall: Well he always had two thousand foxes, a thousand foxes down at the pool. You’ll see in the records. You multiply that by 10, 15 dollars a fur. The war years the fur wasn’t very good, there was no market for it. The only place they were selling would be Egypt or America. The States then was booming. Angulalik always paid. He made money. He had a nice little home. He had a house. The Company’s house. He kept it well. I think he was doing quite well.
