ナショナルジオグラフィックさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ナショナルジオグラフィックInstagram)「Photo by Katie Orlinsky @katieorlinsky | The Nalukataq, or blanket toss, is a celebratory Inupiat tradition originating from when hunters would get launched into the air on what was (and still is) a giant trampoline made out of seal skins in order to catch a glimpse of distant prey. This traditional blanket toss was held at Point Hope, Alaska’s annual whaling feast celebration in 2015. For the people of Point Hope, nothing is more important than the bowhead whale. Their calendar year revolves around whaling, hunting, fishing, and gathering, a lifestyle Alaskans call subsistence, which is as much cultural tradition as dietary and economic necessity. This tradition is at risk as a result of climate change. Erosion and thawing permafrost are destroying ice cellars that store the meat while at the same time eating up the landscape, making travel and hunting increasingly dangerous on the fragile, shifting ground. Nat Geo is celebrating women who fearlessly push boundaries and inspire the next generation of changemakers. For a week, all of our posts and stories on @natgeo were photographed by women, about women. Use #NatGeoWomenofImpact to share how a woman in your life has empowered you.」10月24日 3時37分
