ancient tools

            These are instruments that were used by Inuit to hunt in the time before western tools had been introduced into their cultural repetoire. They are museum quality but were probably made in the past 30 years. The one on the bottom was (and is) used to spear fish. Today they are made with metal. The one in the middle was used to fetch game in the water and drag it to the kayak by hunter. The top is a spear with a detachable hook that was used to kill the prey on the water and ensure that it did not sink away. You can see that the wood handles are knotched to provide superior gripping points. These are just a few hunting tools used by Inuit that demonstrate their great ingenuity in surviving in this unforgiving enviroment in the the centuries leading up to colonization. As for the image itself, I decided to give it an unusual crop due to the display location of the tools.
