Episode 5: Walrus Hunt

Inuit of the Igloolik region have been hunting walrus, incredibly large and sometimes dangerous animals, for thousands of years – caching and fermenting their meat for the long winter ahead. We first follow Zach on a winter hunt, as hunters venture out by snowmobile to the floe edge in search of walrus, and a more common summer hunt by boat.  

How to hunt walrus, from how to kill and butcher it, to preparing the meat and burying it to make Igunaq, the fermented walrus meat.
