Labrador Memories: Sealskin Cleaning (Audio)

Mina Campbell-Hibbs is a resident of North West River.

She goes seal hunting in the spring time, and uses an unâk (harpoon) and naulak (ice chisel) when hunting.

Campbell-Hibbs says there are about four or five youth that go to her home in the evenings and clean sealskins with her.

She says when she’s finished with the sealskin, she tries to make boots out of them.
