Recherche dans la collection - Rebecca, Paapaaq Maliliki, "Papa" stands motionless over a seal's breathing hole. She carries a small baby on her back, inside her parka or amunti. When you're hunting seals on the rough sea ice, the challenge is first to recognize and locate all the breathing holes within an area, and then to disturb most of them so that the seals are discouraged from using them. The seals will be forced to use the undisturbed holes. Here, one must stand very still, with a harpoon or gun, hoping that a seal comes up for air. Foxe Basin, Igloolik, 1976.
