Segment 1: People hunt seals using a canoe (boat with motor). An elder gives instructions about safety when seal hunting: before going seal hunting, we check to see how the weather will be by looking at the clouds and checking the ice to see if it is safe to use. Also, make sure you are fully equipped with camping supplies.
