We hunt ducks, caribou, ptarmigan, moose, sheep, seals, walrus, bowhead whales, reindeer, fish and musk ox.
The polar bears come to the village and eat at the whale bone pile and sometimes they come to the village and eat other people's meat. Sometimes the polar bears break into people's houses. Because of the polar bear problem we put up posters all around the village.
