Hunting

Together with fishing, hunting of marine mammals provides an important livelihood for coastal populations. In addition, there is hunting of larger land animals as well as small game, according to their varying occurrence in different parts of the country. Thus, hunting provides reliable food in all seasons. Furs have played an important role especially in the past – primarily as a means of exchange and as a commodity.
