Masterclass on Checking Fish Nets Under Ice with Kelly Jaw 

In this Masterclass, Kelly Jaw from Kinngait shares how to check fish nets under ice on a lake. In this video, Kelly Jaw and his niece Jolyn Jaw take out Arctic Char from their large fish nets while the temperature with wind chill is below -30 degrees celsius. Kelly differentiates drowned Arctic Char from fresh Arctic Char by cutting off the small adipose fin of the drowned fish. The drowned fish are for dog food.
These masterclasses are part of Kelly's work as Collaborator on the Canada-Inuit Nunangat-United Kingdom (CINUK) Research Project called: Inuksiutit: Inuit Food Sovereignty. Our aims are to promote country food and advocate for Inuit food sovereignty.
