Baffin Island, Nuvanut
In the land of endless days
“Documentaire sur les Inuits de la terre de Baffin, pendant le court été arctique, qu’ils mettent à profit pour faire leurs provisions en vue du long hiver à venir. Dans la région de Pont Inlet dans l’île d’Alukseevee, les Inuits Tununermiut chassent le phoque ainsi que le narval et le béluga. Nous rencontrons la famille d’un chasseur, dont chaque membre a un rôle à jouer.”
(Documentary on the Inuit of Baffin Island. On the island of Alukseevee, Tununermiut Inuit take advantage of a brief summer to prepare their supplies for the long winter ahead. They hunt for seals, as well as narwhals (le narval; FR) and beluga whales (le béluga). We meet a hunter in whose family every one has a role to play.)
Narwhals have a long tusk. As for seals, in French, they are called phoques (pronounced ‘fuck’). Using that word in an English-speaking environment can be somewhat dangerous. My sister and I shocked two ladies when we exclaimed: “Quels beaux phoques!” (What beautiful seals!) during a visit to Vancouver’s Stanley Park.
Kindest regards to everyone. ♥
