Un avataq est un flotteur servant à la chasse traditionnelle fait d'une seule peau de phoque. Toutes les parties d'un avataq ont un nom particulier en inuttitut. L'avataq est fermé par des bouchons de bois aux extrémités. Si la peau a des trous, on peut boucher ces trous avec de petits bouchons en ivoire faits sur mesure que l'on appelle «uaqtaq». L'avataq est relié au harpon et à la pointe du harpon par une corde faite également en peau de phoque.  2, record 2, French, - avataq

This is now the most widely used harvesting method. After bogs are flooded to a depth of about 1 to 2 feet, machines resembling lawn tractors carrying large horizontal reels are passed through the bogs. These reels, about 1 to 2 feet in diameter, churn up the water and vibrate the cranberries loose from the vine. After the berries float to the surface, they are corralled to one end using large floating wooden booms. Berries are then conveyed off the water to waiting trucks for transportation to processing plants.  1, record 4, English, - wet%20harvesting
