Hunting Caribou in the Fall is a guide to hunting one of the most important game animals for Inuit. Advice is given for fall-time hunting in the Kivalliq Region during the barren-ground caribou migration, when hides are most suitable for the making of winter clothing. This book includes advice on preparing for the hunt, setting up camp, avoiding detection by the caribou, skinning the animal, preserving the meat, and staying safe on the hunt. It also includes information about traditional Inuit hunting beliefs and taboos, and reflections on how to keep the caribou population stable and healthy.
The book is paired with a link to an online video that contains actual hunting footage and interviews with hunters, Elders, and wildlife officers. This unique resource was developed in collaboration with the Nunavut Department of Environment, Inhabit Education, Taqqut Productions, and the Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization.
