Subsistence level hunters eat or use every bit of the animals they capture.
In this case the main purpose is get two vitamins. A and D.
They don't get much sunlight on their body a lot of the year, so they need a super high Vitamin D source in their diet, but they experience a lot of bright light, so they need extra Vitamin A for low-light and color vision, 'cause light burns away the Carotene made by the Vitamin A.
Livers store good things, including a huge whack of Vitamin A and D.
Cooking, like Oxygen and light will destroy complex molecules like vitamins, so they eat it raw to get the most nutritive value. They also have no alternative to "raw" for most of their food preparation as there is little or no fuel (wood etc.) in the high Arctic
