Stories of Tuktu: Tuktu and His Eskimo Dogs

“How dogs are often used by the Inuit, both in winter and summer. In this film we see puppies, sled dogs, and dogs being used as pack animals. Inuit dogs are also used for hunting purposes, and we see how they can sniff out the seal blowholes when deep snow covers the winter sea ice.” (National Film Board of Canada) Part of the “In Celebration of Nunavut: Stories of Tuktu” series.
