Group Hunting on the Spring Ice (3) - PREVIEW

Purchase: www.der.org/films/group-huntin...
The men are moving about on the sea ice, probing for unsafe ice and watching for seals. The snow cover is nearly gone now, and the breathing holes have widened. The men sit and wait. One makes a strike with his harpoon and others come to watch. They are ready to eat and relish the good warm blood and the liver. Another hunter succeeds, and then another but this one loses his catch when his thong breaks and the seal slides back into the water. But the party has three seals in tow when they return to camp, and soon the women have the meat exposed and all eat. Then the blubber is packed into the sealskin bags and the men haul it away to the cache.

Patience is the best of the weapon any Inuit got to all living being. Might or could be usefull to humanity, patience is the best invention of any kind of weapons.

You've got to be very patient to just stand over a hole in the ice......to hunt seal with a hand held harpoon.

this film is in color so it was produced in the 1950s or 1960s, very educational.
