As explained by Ilias Atwani, Noah and his family lived in one of the many small communities numbering several households. He was astonished by the fact that an Inuk might encounter a few hundred people in his lifetime, and how most of these would be relatives of one kind or another. Watching Noah’s wife look after a girl while her mother was out working was also quite overwhelming for Ilias. Earlier, walking used to be the most common form of transport, most Inuit use snowmobiles to travel on the land these days. Ilias got a chance to experience this when Noah took him and the second-place winner on a snowmobile expedition.
