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. Some info at: <http://www.telefilm.gc.ca/en/prod/film/film_00/001.htm> I bet Inuit legends, if ever made into a TV series, would even cause me to get a TV again.
