Hunting

If you live in Igloolik, hunting is more than just an activity. Animals are needed as a source of food, clothing, transportation, building material, heat, and light. As hunters, men play a key role. They have extensive knowledge about the local land and sea animals. They have also developed techniques, tools, and weapons for each season, each habitat, and each game animal.

Hunting is a way of life that brings humans and animals together and teaches them to establish harmonious relationships.
