Using an Ulu, a photo from Nunavut, Northern

Photographer's Note

In this photo you can see how an ulu, a tradional Inuit knife, is used to skin a seal. This knife is mainly used by women. The meat from this seal was being used to feed a dog team. The skin itself will be used to mae a pair of boots.

Having difficulty in seeing what is an ulu, I did a workshop where the brightnes was inceased up to 100% and now I have a good idea what an ulu is. (Jean-Pierre)

Vvery fine and interesting picture... I like the fact that almost all the focus is on the working hands and the knife... TFS... Ina...

Very informational photo. I'm glad you showed us an ulu in use.My dad bought me a touristy ulu on his last fishing trip to alaska,I've never actually used it though. Thanks for sharing some of your culture with us!
