    I don't see how a culture may survive in a desolate place without belief in something greater than themselves... Without believing that everything they interact with has a spirit, and must be revered. Otherwise, they have no protection and no sense of purpose on a barren rock. Indigenous cultures are not "stupid" for believing in spirits. If their beliefs allow them to peacefully coexist within an ecosystem, then they are smarter than all of us combined. Indigenous cultures must be cherished like a priceless heirloom.

      It's humbling to hear my elders speak of, to be instilled with the past while trying to connect with the modern world.
      I'd like to thank some on this thread for being respectful, for their thoughts & views of my culture & similar cultures as they're Inuit & I am Siberian Yupik.
      There is one comment on this thread where I'd like to say something in response. However, that would bring up for me many years of traumatic pain in that all of the missionaries who came to our village to convert us by use of physical assault, cutting our hair, shoving soap into our mouths whenever asking a question in our native tongue, but I'm sure they wouldn't want the truth to be told. It's presumptive & myopic in the least to be telling others who conflict with another's right of life that they're "doomed."

So many things I do in life that I know is wasteful and cannot get that time back, but this was not a waste of "my" time. We all have our beliefs that we choose to follow. I might not have grown with this man, or lived his way of life, but the wisdom he has blessed me with today I'll appreciate for a really long time.

    I grew up in New Zealand among the Māori, although I am a White woman. They spoke of a great explorer who was also s medicine man or shaman. His name was Kupe and one night when he was in his home in Hawaii, he had a dream. He kept sailing South and South and further South until he came to a place that was very cold and had great white floating islands on it. Because he was from a tropical place, he had never seen ice or snow and had no words for what he saw. The next day, he began to prepare his voyage, and sailed South, South and further South. It got colder and colder, but he kept going and one day, he awoke and the whole World was white and he saw his great floating white islands! When he had seen them, he was satisfied, he turned his great canoe ship around and sailed North until he once again reached his home.

    These shamans see things... in many modern cultures he and other shamans would be medicated... the way he described crying and being full of dread while singing joy! joy! that would be considered a mental illness in so many cultures.. and yet in other cultures, they are seen as shamans and honored.. we all have much to learn from each other. It's beautiful how everything has a purpose and meaning for them. They honor the animal they must kill for food to survive, because the animal has a soul just like humans. that is so beautiful.

    I heard a story about a hunter who killed a caribou. He said the caribou wasnt angry with him and told him he can use his skin and meat but leave the bones. DoNOT use my bones said the caribou. The hunter returns home and tells his wife the situation. she is not pleased. she needs sowing needles. The sledge needs new fitting. We NEED to use these bones. And so they did. And for 3 years...the caribou never returned. The hunters sledge broke down quickly. The womans needles werent straight. the meat harvested from the caribou went sour. This is why you shall always sing a song, or give a poem to your animal friend...always.

    I totally understood when he lost his son and did not want to leave his son's body. That he did not want to be with others. His helping spirits left him. His sadness was too much. Then, one day his song of joy returned as did his helping spirits. Such a grief journey that many of us follow. My first born son died 16 months ago. He was 46. He was always a kind son to me. I related to the shaman in his grief.

We must welcome them and be thankful to them for their help.

His 'Journals' were published in book form; I've never read them, but they should be available somewhere.

    It is transcendental there. There is little human competition, the amount of food in relation to people is reasonably decent, and there is a way of life there that you must live to stay alive. Some people don't want to lose the beauty of the old way, and they haven't been forced to yet, since those areas are a haven in terms of architectural destruction.

Basically a nasty, randy little shaman ruined his parents’ life before he was even born, cursed his birth, made his childhood seem terrible just because all of the weird taboos and then he became a shaman. And, he didn’t mention anything about revenge at all. I mean clearly the taboos are like the backbone of believing in all this but, I mean, barring all of the ambiguity about living like that, all of the stories he told about becoming a shaman were really positive and beautiful.

    So we don't have to be very focused on the scientific method to built our reality. Whatever you believe in, whatever you claim to be true or untrue... they're all happening within you, and you are living it.
    There is one earth but countless worlds in it.

    I read the report of a group of geneticists recently which said that contrary to popular opinion, the Inuit are not descended from Siberian Mongols, but that their genetics studies have revealed that Inuit are related to Northern Navajo, who were originally descended from the Thule people of Asia. If anyone knows more about the Thule people, I'd love to have that information. Thank you.

    • @jabames
      @jabames 10 років тому +2

      We came in after the Thule's, they were more peaceful but we(Alaskan Inuit and Canadian Inuit etc...) were more warlike nd had a lil bit more advanced weaponry like powerful bows while they had only spears and harpoons. So the Thule were much more of a primitive people than Inuit that came in later and were replaced by us Inuit.

    • @Brembelia
      @Brembelia 10 років тому +1

      jabames a Do you have any dates as to when the Thule came in, and also when the Inuit arrived? I read another interesting article that said there were the original Inuit which settled in Alaska but when their numbers grew, they split. Some went North (Inuvik and across to Greenland,) while others went further south and inland. The inland group split and some went even farther into AZ and NM. This article defined one difference between these genetic pools as: (1) Alaskan Inuit were fish and shellfish eaters, (2) Inland (forest) Inuit, deer and meat eaters, and (3) the last group now known as Southern Navajo became pork ranchers and eaters by tradition.
      I also read an article that said ALL Mongols have a blue spot at the base of their spine, but Inuit do not which only further substantiates their not being Siberian Mongol. But if, as you say, the Inuit came in after the Thule people, then who were the Inuit and where exactly in Asia did they come from? I'd also like to know where exactly the Thule came from (there is such a deficit of information it's really frustrating.) If you know of any resources, I'd be glad to know them. Are you Alaskan or Canadian Inuit?
      I'm totally fascinated by Inuit people. I think of all of the centuries of surviving in such hostile places (I wouldn't last two days!) and I am really in awe of their accomplishments. (I also find their/your art fascinating, too.) I think there should be more studies and documentation of your culture as there are less than thirty-five hundred Inuit on the face of the planet. I consider Inuit a living cultural treasure and we need to collect as much documented information as possible before it all disappears forever. Thank you for your post. :)

    • @jabames

      West Winds I think the Thule developed about 1000 AD to what we know of them archaeologically speaking, and they survived till maybe 1600 AD. Yeah I think we descend from the area of Japan, there's an ethnic group near there that had/has the same technology we used for hunting and stuff (I'm Yup'ik so that's what I think we're more closely related to), that would explain why we aren't directly associated with the Mongols, but we're close to em still. Hell, I can blend in with almost any Asian country or city xD.

    • @Brembelia
      @Brembelia 10 років тому

      If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and can you tell me whether or not you possess a blue spot?
      I met a woman in California who was Inuit. She was very petite; maybe around five feet tall. Then there is Eric Schweig who is six feet two inches tall, so I'm interested in the average height of the different groups of Inuit. The reason I mention this is because I have always felt the Inuit were closely related to Koreans. Why? Because Manchuria sits just northeast of North Korea and the Manchurians were a tall tribe who became the last Chinese dynasty, the Qing (pronounced Ching) dynasty. The Han Chinese (the Qing/Manchu conquered Chinese) are much shorter, so whenever I see a very tall pure blood "Chinese", I'm wondering if I'm looking at someone with north China Manchurian genes. Korea has traditionally been a land bridge and both the Japanese and the Chinese have used it to attack each other so the Koreans have Chinese, Manchurian and Japanese blood in them, and my question has always been, "and what else?" This is why I am eager to track down the Thule people and any other groups which could have made their way to Alaska.
      This is what Wikipedia has to say: "Inuit are the descendants of what anthropologists call the Thule culture,[14] who emerged from western Alaska, after crossing from Siberia, around 1000 CE and spread eastwards across the Arctic.[15]
      This article also references our American habit of calling all of you from Alaska to Greenland "Eskimos". I know that some of you object to this term and consider it a pejorative, so I have renamed you "Tundra Nomadics" to stay out of trouble. :) I need to study the language tree of all TN's trying to unravel your mysterious past.
      So, you see, jabames a, you all are not only totally awesome, you are also totally fascinating!!!

    • @jabames
      @jabames 10 років тому

      West Winds Yes we are probably related to Koreans, probably more than any other asians, I don't have a blue spot. I prefer to be called Yup'ik, not eskimo or Inuit. We are short people, Indians are taller than us and usually have buck teeth, and they look way different than us Inuits, seems like they have their own distinct look, they don't look like Inuit or Asian maybe a lil bit. I'm taller than the average Inuit, 5'10" while 5'7" or shorter would be the norm nd they would be slightly built nd very skinny while me I have more Russian blood nd am taller nd built like a tank. I even have some relatives that are white looking cuz some Russians married some of my ancestors in thw 17 or late 1800s. nd yeah some Chinese have their own look too, sometimes we will get mistaken for em too but not really, we look like Japanese too a lil bit. And this one time I got mistaken for a foreign exchange student this one kid from Korea asked if I was asian xD...

    @DritonGusia Gravity is gravity, wheather you're genius, epileptic or insane. A spirit is energy. Wheather in this dimension or another. And yes, there are other dimensions. Yes, there is a scientific explenation for everything. Just because it isn't explained or misunderstood at this time, doesn't mean it won't be in the future. I'm not ignorant though, for I believe in a creator.

    Ah! But you are forgetting the aforementioned Peter Freuchen (best bud and business-partner with Knud Rasmussen), who played the popular novelist and romantic to "Kunuk"'s exacting ethnographer to the American market. His one experience with Hollywood in it's Golden Age in the late thirties' (while filming the movie "Eskimo!") resulted is some of the funniest s**t he ever wrote. The actresses were Japanese-American (Nisei) who recast themselves as Chinese when WWII broke.
