Team Canada / Yukon - "An Inuit Moral Tale"

From the official event program: Food was scarce, and a boy and his grandfather weren't strong enough to hunt. They decided to risk perishing. They tracked a polar bear. First the grandfather rushed him with a knife. The bear opened his mouth and the old man was swallowed. The boy charged with his harpoon. It would have gone badly for him too, but with one swift move the Grandfather slashed a hole in the stomach. This killed the bear, and the boy was saved. The meat was enough to feed them all winter.
