Loading...

(chanting)

[liner notes]
walrus hunting in kayaks among the floating ice must sometime proceed in the winter darkness or in a condition known as “whiteout” when atmospheric conditions turn the sky into a virtual mirror of the snow and ice below and orientation becomes difficult. at these times, women on sh0r- blow a large h-rn made from a giant narwhal’s hollowed tusk and chant to give directional orientation to the hunters

winter had almost arrived, for the wind had a more pr-nounced bite in itsinsistence. the noonday sun sat momentarily on the horizon before hastening back into the icy waters. floating on the rising winds, the sounds of the narwhal h-rn and chanting combined to give -ssurance to the eskimo hunters. the paddling of the kayak was smooth and steady. not much light was left and a sleeping walrus could easily hide in the deep shadowed recesses of the floating icebergs

but wait! there, on the ice… yes, a walrus! a happy but silent discovery. the sling-like harpoon was removed from its leather container and spun rapidly around over the hunter’s head until sufficient speed was reached to send it zooming toward its unsuspecting prey. the walrus was hit. cheers rang out from the men as they all paddled toward the animal which had plunged into the icy sea; but the water offered no protection as the eskimo men reached for their whale bone clubs and bludgeoned the creature. the walrus floated quietly in the water and the kayaks moved on in search of other sleeping prey
