People of all ages greet the return of Pangnirtung’s bowhead whale hunters late Aug. 8, as they arrive with boats filled with maktaaq from the whale they landed Aug. 6. You can watch a video of the arrival of the whalers as people sing a traditional whaling welcome-home song posted on YouTube by Daniel Kulluruqtuq at http://youtu.be/-HhtQT07dgs.
