Editing Caribou Hunt (section)

=Introductions=

This hunting trip significantly influenced how the rest of my PhD-research developed. It was my first on-the-land experience in Inuit Nunangat, and my first exposure to hunting. 

As a visitor, and newly exposed to these circumstances, I was struck by the process of decision-making at multiple moments during the hunt. 

The choices made in terms of passing by multiple herds to reach seemingly more suitable areas for hunting Caribou, the procedures of tracking footprints, choosing which Caribou to shoot, the obvious skills in terms of skinning and stripping the Caribou, once shot, and choosing what to take and what to leave, all spoke to dimension of IQ that seemed to be missing from the TEK workshops conducted in Gjoa Haven in 2019.
