Nanook of the north

Nanook and his family typify Eskimo life in the Arctic. Their continuous search for food necessitates their nomadic life. In the summer they journey to the river to fish for salmon and hunt walrus. In the winter they often approach starvation before any food is found. At night the entire family assists in building an igloo, then crawl under fur robes to sleep, using their clothes for pillows. In the morning the quest continues.
