She's not cleaning the window, she's scarifying it so that it diffuses light.

I really admire Native American cultures and their ancestors. They really knew the meaning how life and to get through it. Thanks for sharing.

Ford Nismo There is one thing one can do that is fun ;)

[@mbrunnme]

Ford Nismo You need all that shit to have fun? That must be exhausting.

[@cosmoduende]

@@Nfordmann I think that if you ask them what amuses them, they won't exactly tell you that they need wi-fi or electricity, it's just another culture, much healthier in my opinion.

Watch out where the huskies go & don't you eat that yellow snow.

[@powerdog242]

It’s strictly commercial.

[@crazyinsane500]

Hey Nanook, do you want to build a snowman?

[@chosuriki]

Film Vault!

[@AznRUs]

@7:06 how did they get the camera inside the igloo and why is there so much light inside the igloo. Also, why is the window bigger inside than the outside?

[@filmsbylaine]

the inside of the igloo may not be the same from the outside. the whole documentary is a reenactment.

[@log-907]

Because it is completely staged. it is a fake igloo with a missing side they filmed this sleeping scene in. The director staged most of this movie.

[@LorenErman]

nanook, no no

[@JohnSmith-kx3tg]

eskimo families are so cute!!!!!!

[@will_mcdermott]

how did you get this video?

[@greatmovies3460]

[@_______________315]

somebody give these people an all in one emergency radio with solar powered light and some build in tools,
no reason to not make their preferred lifestyle a little more practical

[@averageboi5195]

_______________ the director staged most of these scenes to make the Inuit people look primitive

[@log-907]

@@averageboi5195 yeah, his family was actually a bunch of actors, he hunted with a gun, and probably lived in a cabin.

[@fuunguus]
