    Learn about traditional Inuit culture from this fascinating series. This series documents cultural practices, skills, and values in Nunavut in northern Canada. Each episode focuses on a different topic, and does a good job of celebrating the skills and resourcefulness of the Inuit.
    The territory of the Inuit (also called Eskimo, Inupiaq, Yupik, and other regional names) cover the northern and western regions of Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland. The Inuit continue to live in these areas and maintain many cultural traditions while also incorporating some modern technology into their culture as well. Inuit continue to have a deep respect and spiritual connection with the land and its resources.
    The Tuktu documentary series was produced by the National Film Board of Canada between 1966 and 1968.

      It would be great to see how hides are cleaned and tanned/smoked from a perspective of a person who wants to learn how. The same goes for any food preservation skills that can still be practiced today. I live up North in Canada and so many of the old ways of the local First Nations have been lost. Making clothes would also be great. Thank you.

      Yes, it is lovely to hear the admiration he has for his father. Nowadays, so many many young white men speak begrudgingly or belittlingly of their fathers, yet cannot give a rational reason why they are so resentful except for what they learn in school about how white men are the cause of all wars and social problems and wrecked the planet. I wish more men of my generation and younger love and admire their father like I do, and like the man in this documentary does.

    This documentary serie on Inuit civilization is more than precious. It visually documents life that still existed less than a century ago and back to 20,000 years ago or more in the great glaciations with actual video of it ! Our long ago distant ice age ancestors had to be as clever as this to survive which is no less than today and more.

    The Inuit are an amazingly advanced and innovative people, we owe them so much even our high tech society owes much to them.
    In the 19th century, Europeans were using a primitive harpoon known as the One flue harpoon and they actually adopted the Inuit toggling harpoon because it was a superior design and still to this day whaling harpoons trace their design back to those used by the Inuit, unfortunately, we abused the technology through with our incessant slaughter of whales :(
    Other innovative technologies include the famous Parker, the Kayak of course, the toboggan, the worlds first sunglasses, this amazingly complex bow design and the dog sled.

      True! Now, we are driven by something inside of us to connect with our primal selves, even though it isn't necessary to survive. As modern humans, we go hiking (even though it's no longer necessary), we catch and release fish (even though it's more efficient to just buy commercially caught fish), we build fires in our fireplaces just to stare at (even though our homes have heating), and we learn to sew and craft (even though everything is on Amazon). Even though we have the easiest lives in history, there is something deep inside of us that drives us to practice our primal skills, even though we don't need them to survive.

    Interesting that they made human targets for showing off their skills with a bow.

      why not? When you go to a shooting range you have human silhouettes, right?

    I wonder what the draw weigh of Taktu's father's bow was. Those bows didn't seem like they were heavy to pull.

      @@hewhodoes8073 I wonder what the appropriate drawlenght for this type of bow is. Usually it is the lenght of the limb or about 42% of the bending length of the bow but it seems that this type of construction won't be so generous. One of the bows was drawn to elbow pit even though it seemed to have the length for longer draw.

    There are people in Alaska who still live like this today though they go to school still wearing traditional clothes. They live near an oil well, they were in a Runner's world due to one of the people of a Nearby more modern tribe when going to the school they found she was a great runner in Cross Country, later long trail ultra races so then when she was contacted by Runner's World she offered to take them back to the area and they got her tribe as well as the other becuse both tribes were close though the traditional tribe did not except modern things other then plastic frame sunglasses as the only improvement.
