Anther video I watched through Human Planet was a short clip looking at the Inuit. This video looks at the hunting of a narwhal. Two brother have been watching for narwhal for weeks and have finally spotted a group swimming by. With the utmost elegance the brothers canoe out to the hunting spot. Once they have identified the specific narwhal they want the move in and look for the perfect chance to strike. They use spears to kill the narwhal and this takes a good deal of time.
I thought this was interesting because of the determination they have for hunting the narwhal. A narwhal will last their families a great deal of time but the process of hunting is tedious. The narwhal brings vitamin C the Inuit which is why the narwhal is so important.
