Scenes from Governor General Michaelle Jean's May 2009 trip to the Arctic.

Yes, the notorious seal-skinning segment is here, too. If you're squeamish about such things, don't watch the last couple of minutes of this video. But the local people appeared to be quite appreciative of the gesture, and deeply offended by some of the commentary they heard from down South and from Europe.

The song in the background is called "The Seal."

A woman sings about her first trip onto the land with her family, and they hunt a seal. The song concludes with her expressing her gratitude for the seal, and for the land, for keeping her family alive.
