Story: The Evolution of Diet. The lifestyle and food habits of a small Inuit community on the East coast of Greenland, in winter. Inuit consume a mostly meat diet of foods that are fished, hunted, and gathered locally.

The 64 residents of the remote east Greenland village of Isortoq still hunt and fish but combine traditional Inuit foods with purchases from the super-market, the large red building in the foreground. A favorite dish: seal dipped in ketchup and mayonnaise.
