Shows scenes of Netsilik Eskimos of the Canadian Arctic at their winter sea ice camp. Includes scenes of the children at play. Shows the Eskimos building a large ceremonial igloo, hunting seal, participating in trials of strength for men and games for women, story-telling, juggling, engaging in the drum dance, and sharing seal meat.
Cameras follow the men on a seal hunt. Each man with his DOGs explores the white waste seeking scent of a seal's breathing hole. Then he waits in the cold to make his strike. He kills, and the others gather for a feast of liver and blubber.
