From a Discover interview, From Haitian Zombie Poison to Inuit Knives Made of Feces:

During the 1950s the Canadian government forced the Inuit into settlements. A family from Arctic Bay told me this fantastic story of their grandfather who refused to go. The family, fearful for his life, took away all of his tools and all of his implements, thinking that would force him into the settlement. But instead, he just slipped out of an igloo on a cold Arctic night, pulled down his caribou and sealskin trousers, and defecated into his hand. As the feces began to freeze, he shaped it into the form of an implement. And when the blade started to take shape, he put a spray of saliva along the leading edge to sharpen it.

The subject of the interview, Wade Davis - described as a "real-life Indiana Jones" - went on to say that the old man used the knife to butcher a dog, skin it, improvise a sled with the dog's rib cage, and harness another dog to the sled with the hide of the butchered dog, all for the purpose of disappearing into the night.

Upon reflection, it occurs to me that if the old man did indeed accomplish all this in an effort to skedaddle into the great white, how do his kinfolk know he did this?

I'm thinking this would make a... keen tale for Adam and Jamie to prove or disprove!

Cheers...
