Seal Hunting: Newfoundland's Heritage with Clare Dawn Fowler & Lori McCarthy — WildFed Podcast #048

While filming with our friend Lori McCarthy in Newfoundland, we sat down for a roundtable discussion with Lori and local artisan Clare Dawn Fowler. Lori has dedicated her life to preserving the cultural food heritage of Newfoundland, and Clare creates sustainably beautiful designs using Newfoundland harp seal leather and fur. In this episode, we explore Newfoundland's cultural heritage, specifically the long-standing tradition of seal hunting. Quite controversial in some parts of the world, in Newfoundland, seal hunting is an integral part of who they are. Clare and Lori share the story of the local seal hunt, the many uses of seal throughout their culture, and the importance of traditions like this one being preserved for future generations.
