Celebrating a first seal hunt

Arviat’s six-year-old Brody Panigoniak is seen after hunting his first seal on Tuesday evening. After catching the animal, a bright smile spread across his face, said his mother, Hilda Panigoniak. “My son was so happy.” She said he asked to go boating for the first time, so she, her boyfriend and her sister got ready and set off on the water after work. To celebrate Brody’s catch, they held a game for the community and gave out some change, goodies, and one lucky winner got $100 cash. (Photo courtesy of Hilda Panigoniak)
