Okpowruk's homes, now gone due to erosion, located on west end of town. Later, newer homes were constructed just west of these homes but they were all relocated to the old airport site (which isn't used now).  If you were there now, where the picture was taken, you would be standing on the same sand but maybe surrounded by water. Charlie Okpowruk's home had been seen world-wide as it lay sideways at an angle. Now the building has been lost to the sea.
