Otto Apsaktaun and Gino Akka are the last Inuit elders who know the secrets of making a unique Canadian boat built for the Arctic--the Netsilingmeot caribou-hunting kayak.
In the summer of 2002, they invited the youth of their hamlet of Kugaaruk, and a couple of southerners, to join them in a remote tundra camp. Here they build a pair of these beautiful kayaks. At Barrow Lake we witness a unique experiment in the transmission and preservation of a vanishing culture.
