Emma and Aputik visit 10 year old Nuka at his home in Nunavik to hear the incredible story of his hunt. From spotting "furry rocks" on a distant mountainside (that turned out to be a 400kg muskox!) to navigating treacherous terrain by snowmobile, Nuka shares every detail of his first big hunt – including the moment he got nervous pulling the trigger.
But this episode isn't just about the hunt. Emma learns how Inuit families use every part of the animal – from vacuum-packing the meat to share with elders and relatives, to spinning the soft qiviut fur into luxurious warm clothing. And she learns about Nuka's favourite things about living in the north – including the wolves that visit his backyard!
Join Emma as she realizes that Inuit children learn survival skills and cultural knowledge that connect them deeply to the land – skills that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Next episode: Emma goes dog sledding! Learn about the ancient tradition of qimutsik (dog sleds) and discover how Inuit traveled across the Arctic long before snowmobiles.
If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers! Visit earthrangers.com to learn more!
