EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of women from Greenland are seen drawing blood from the carcasses of hunted seals, circa 1910. The image captures a moment of communal labor and traditional hunting practices, passed down through generations. The women, some with children in tow, work diligently, their faces focused and determined. The seals, hunted using kayaks and canoes, have been brought ashore and are now being processed for their valuable resources. The women use sharp tools to make incisions in the seals' bodies, collecting the precious blood that will be used for various purposes. Seal blood was an essential component of the Greenlandic diet, providing essential nutrients and sustenance during the harsh winter months. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged, icy terrain, with snow-covered mountains and the vast expanse of the sea in the distance. The women's colorful clothing stands out against the stark, wintery landscape, adding a vibrant touch to the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Greenland and its people, who have relied on the sea and its resources for survival for centuries. The image is a testament to their resilience, ingenuity, and deep connection to their environment. The women's dedication to their hunting practices, passed down through generations, continues to be a source of pride and identity for the Greenlandic people today.
