Patrick Emmanuel Qagutaq, 7, his father Josh Kringorn, at the rear of the boat, and Patrick’s great uncle Eric Oogark, pull a narwhal to land for carving up on Aug. 23 outside of Kugaaruk, Nunavut. This was Patrick’s first successful narwhal hunt and, along with tasty maktaaq, the catch yielded an ivory tusk that was seven feet, nine inches long. (PHOTO BY KELSEY APSAKTAUN)
