In 2007 Canadian Inuit representatives travelled to Europe to explain
the seal hunt. They were not well understood. Another group of Labrador
Inuit had gone to Europe more than a century earlier, in 1880. They were
not well understood either. Displayed in the Berlin zoo, these eight
"little eskimos" attracted viewers by the thousands.

tells the story of one of them - Abraham Ulrikab - who watched the
watchers and kept a diary.
