Archaeological evidence suggests that the First Nations people of the Arctic regions of Canada have been hunting seals for over 4,000 years. Traditionally, when an Inuit boy killed his first seal, a feast was held in his honor. Though the act of seal hunting has been vocally condemned world-wide, the Aboriginal communities of Canada remain excluded from this criticism, as their practise is not usually commerce-based.Their hunt is done in very small numbers, making up 3% of the total amount of seal hunting worldwide; furthermore, seal meat is a dietary staple in these communities, while the skin is used for water-proof jackets and boots, and the fat is used for fuel, cooking oil and lubricant.

Stunning, ice-filled backdrop of northern Canadian waters behind them.

The goose hunt has been a crucial aspect of First Nations survival for thousands of years; every autumn and spring, hunters living along migration paths would hunt geese in order to provide nourishment for their communities, with the hunt sometimes yielding up to four months of meat!Cree artist Tim Whiskeychan has created a wonderful reverse design of a traditional Aboriginal hunter taking aim at a pair of Canada geese with his bow and arrow.
