Portrays the life of the Eskimos living in northeastern Canada, whose lives have been only slightly touched by civilization with emphasis on the technique and meaning in their stones sculptures. Describes a typical Eskimo family of this region; indicates their dependence on sea animals; and relates a number of the myths found in Eskimo culture. Carvings, made by the men during the long nights of winter, depict personalities from the myths and things from the Eskimos' world. Eskimos' summer tent and winter snow houses, a seal hunt, the festivities associated with a boy's first seal kill, and traditional dances and recreational activities are all surveyed.
