Inuit elder man, mid 60s, dressed in traditional caribou skin clothing, works atop a traditional igloo with a knife used for igloo building. Actual igloos are not left with blocks showing. When the blocks are in place, the igloo is covered with snow for further insulation. A traditional sled (komatik) can be seen in background.
