Just found this on an Alaska Ezine site. While I'm dismayed that they take so long to finish the animals, its all for food - tho there have been some abuses in the past where the ivory was being traded illegally. There may be a reason for the delay. Hope someone goes walrus hunting from Dillingham this year. We kinda like the meat ( boil it a looooooong time) but I'm not qualified to hunt. My boys are but too young yet.

Inupiat people who live hundreds of miles from the road system and mega-supermarkets rely on this marine bounty to feed their families.[/size][/size]For a rare glimpse of this Native subsistence in action, check out this YouTube movie above that was uploaded Monday, showing the taking of a Pacific walrus in the surf off the traditional village of Little Diomede, on an island in the Bering Strait only less than two miles from Russia's Big Diomede Island.
