Segment 1: We love it when spring and summer come, as they are the best hunting seasons. These are the times we gather and cook traditional Inuit food in the Inuit way. Summer is also a good time to dry meat and to bury meat underground for future use.
Segment 2: Alex and Joshua are skinning an arctic rabbit.
Segment 3: Mary and Ellen are dancing like Inuvialukmiut. They talk about how they learned to dance and what made them interested in it.
