Jordin Tootoo navigates on Hudson Bay.

Jordin Tootoo grew up in a small village along the Hudson Bay only a hundred miles from the Arctic Circle. He is the first Inuit to play professionally in the National Hockey League. During the off season, Jordin spends time fishing and hunting with his family. Like nearly everyone in Rankin Inlet, living off the land is a way of life.
