In a thoughtful contribution to the debate on Canada's seal hunt, artist Anne Troake celebrates the unique culture of Newfoundland's outports. She explores the notions of ecology and conservation through the story of her extended family, descendants of the 18th century settlers from the English West Country. In a society shaped by the environment and seasons, sealing became one of many activities that sustained them.

Bonus feature: Audio interview with Garry Troake.
