Inuit Summer Hunting Camp
In the past, the Inuit were chiefly a nomadic people who hunted for sustenance and followed their game's seasonal movements. Although many Inuit now live in fixed settlements throughout Nunavut, a region in northern Canada, some maintain their traditional hunting customs. Pictured here is an Inuit standing next to his summer house, a tent made of walrus or seal hides.
