Description

Handwritten in album: Girls build protections of snow around their fishing holes in the ice in winter to protect their eyes from the wind PH Coll 49.73

Ice fishing was a food gathering activity that everyone could participate in. Unlike hunting whales and seals, there was little skill needed, just a lot of patience. Sometimes the Eskimos would build temporary igloos around their fishing spots, but usually walls of snow were built. Ice fishing is still practiced today, but as a sport rather than a survival tactic.
