| Summary: | rattle 1 n As long as there was new ice, the people hunted seals either at their breathing-holes or at rattles, the local name for areas of water kept open by currents (Taylor, 1974, p.22). There are many such areas near the former winter settlements on the islands around Nain and in Hamilton Inlet (Fitzhugh, 1972,p.82-85) . . . Sealing productivity declines as the ice thickened and snow covered the breathing-holes, and as the rattles became fewer and smaller Hunters had to go farther and farther into (over) [reverse] the outer coastal zone to seek areas of new ice.
