No, not me. I'd never kill a "large marrine mammel with big flukes",
with or without my family present (wouldn't even pet one to death :-) ),
and certainly wouldn't eat raw meat. Now, getting my wife to crawl in
behind my cockpit -- that would be an interesting accomplishment. Maybe
in her pre-child carrying years :-).

Speaking of  "Nanook of the North", there is a new film due out, called
"Atanarjuat" (or Swift Runner). The exciting thriller, set in ancient
Igloolik in Canada's eastern Arctic, is a fully aboriginal production,
and Canada's first feature film written in Aboriginal language. I'm
hoping there might be some kayaking in it, but that remains to be seen.

I bet Inuit legends, if ever made into a TV series, would even cause me
to get a TV again.
