71% of adult Inuit harvested wild animals and plants in 2001, and 71% of Arctic households caught half or more of the fish and meat they ate. Men are more likely to be involved in harvesting than women, and older people more likely than younger.

I Trust this should be "Minus 27.2 C" in item 27 of Arctic Facts, Figures and Archives, quoted below:

"The average forecast high in January is 27.2°C;"
