About
This family is crossing the peninsula. That's what they used to do a long time ago. They used to go hunting for caribou during the summer. The father is carrying his qajaq. The mother has stuff on her back. Their son is carrying oars for the qajaq. The dog is also carrying stuff on its back. It is also pulling the family`s provisions and also the tent poles. When the man truly treasures his favorite dogs, he would not have them carry stuff on their backs. So that the dog will stay strong to pull the heavy sleds.
