Iñupiaq Whale Hunt

This video, adapted from material provided by the ECHO partners, shows a whale hunt with Native Iñupiaq hunters. The Iñupiaq people have been hunting whales for thousands of years, and many of their hunting methods and traditions continue to be passed down from generation to generation. On this expedition, the crew successfully kills a bowhead whale. The entire community joins together to bring in the whale, butcher and distribute it, and then celebrate the hunt.

@TheJeromemm The animal rights people aren't posting on this video because these native people live in an area where the killing of whales is absolutely necessary for their survival.

People protest the needless killing of whales by the Japanese who don't need them to survive.

God gave us animals so that we can benefit from them. This is such an amazing example of that relationship!
