Elementary and secondary school students in Inuvik, N.W.T., took in a unique experience as part of the community's on-the-land programming: bagging a moose, learning how to butcher it, and, ultimately, sharing the meat with their classmates.
Take a look at all the steps of the harvest — from the land to the school — in our gallery:
