The Hutterites
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2015
- The followers of religious leader Jacob Hutter live in farm communities, devoutly holding to the rules their founder laid down four centuries ago. Through the kindness of a Hutterite colony in Alberta, this film, in black and white, was made inside the community and shows all aspects of the Hutterites' daily life.
Directed by Colin Low - 1964 | 28 min

On a road trip in '95 somewhere in Alberta we came cross a colony. So we hung a left and drove into it. At first there were tons of people meandering about. As we got closer they simply disappeared. We drove into the heart and there were little children in windows happily waving at us but not an adult in sight.
Two boys about ten years old greeted us. We asked if we could by some produce.
The boys were little chatter boxes. I told them I was a cook and they lead me into a state of the art kitchen. They both proudly said their ma's were cooks. It was a profound moment for me. These folks are a national treasure.
We did get to buy two of the nicest tomatoes I've ever tasted.
What a lovely story!
I love that movie too lol

I grew up down the road from a colony in Alberta and have visited various colonies many times as well as visited with them inside their homes and eaten meals with them in their segregated dining room. They're wonderful people
How wonderful!
Who are we to criticise the way these people live. They seem happy, content and love each other. Not a bad way to live in my opinion when one looks at the society many of us live in.
Steve Parker Every time a few control the many and without the ability to think freely I will protest that way of life.

You Sir are imprisoned to your heart and mind.
@@EternaLivesMatter You Sir, claim a man protesting individuals controlling (many) others and against no ability to think freely is himself imprisoned to heart and mind? Maybe you Sir are brainwashed by dark figures (always males) who use the name of god to dominate others and enforce their will. No one is born believing, faith is forced on during childhood and is obligated to be maintained, against free will. The same polkadot headscarfs on all ! women say more than enough...

Firstly I would like to say that I have been made free by the blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world he saved me when by faith I believed the gospel which is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ he gave me the indwelling of his holy spirit and I am a child of God eternally these teachings were not forced upon me but it took years for me to and I am forever grateful that I have
In regard to men and women God has given us different roles if you love God and His word then this would bring joy to you but if you are a rebel it will make you angry and contentious about the matter
In regard to the women's head cup rings this is biblical and the fact that they are all wearing polka dots simply tells me that they have chosen to wear polka dot head coverings they make their own clothing and they choose their own fabrics not by force they actually get a choice
Of course there are controlling people in this world but if someone is trying to teach you the word of God and someone is trying to lead you toward God and not away from God then by all means control me with the word of God it is a wonderful thing and the most freeing thing to be controlled by the word of God something that an unsaved person or rebellious spirit can't possibly understand the mind in the heart when they are not submitted to God is in prison to one's self but when you surrender your mind and your heart to God and the things of God you're more free than you will ever be or everything to be I pray that you are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and if not please consider today that you are flesh and one day soon you will die if you are not saved by grace through faith and the death burial and resurrection of Jesus you will spend eternity in hell to pay for your sins not because God wants you to but because you chose that by rejecting the gift of eternal life which can only be received by faith in Jesus
No hunger, no homelessness, no dog-eat-dog , no wall street. Sounds like a good idea to me!
But no Kardashians! 😂
No argument from me.
I am all for that.🙂☺️🤗😊
No hoarders or my 600 lb life.

Except that they shun firearms, which makes them completely dependent upon the mercy of ANYONE with a gun. How long do you think they will last in a Post-Apocalyptic situation under those conditions?

I grew up near a Hutterite colony in the Columbia Basin in WA; they were wonderful people.

Noticed your web-name, sharing a copy of my comment -
Copy:
If these people live free and happy by their standards, that's all that matters.
Much like Mennonites - absolutely the most upstanding goodness that can be found in the human species of this era.
The truly largest evil against the people of this world has been the (changing of and removal of original texts from the original Bible) even the King's Revision has been Revised - it is most definitely "a Version" - we'd be hard pressed to find - the full and an efficient correct copy of the Bible in our era - this is most disturbing. I can't feel comfortable with men of history making the decisions about what the public should read.
The greatest worldly gift that the people of the USA and World could receive is the gift of TRUTH in INFORMATION - on all subjects.
It would create a real change in the percent of prejudices and put MS News Media OUT OF BUSINESS.
Be your greatest Version of you and demand truths -
Recognize the difference between Ego mind and Conscious Thought Application - Golden Goodness in Wisdom, worth more that money can buy. ⚖❤☮
I was really impressed by that young woman who was with her Dad in the car. Very intelligent young woman. Spoke with ease.
@@bethbartlett5692 thanks true
I really enjoyed this documentary. Fascinating. I admire these people and them sticking to thier beliefs. They seem so sincere and truly have faith. So uncommon these days. I find myself thinking how very nice it would be to live that kind of life, no worries, no fighting, you know your neighbors, everyone cares about everyone else and help them. Beautiful
Seems like the good old days.
we could all learn from these working peoples
Tsetsi many people certainly could learn from us.
They’re fucked man you have no idea
I hope so.
That young little lady riding in the middle is very smart, compassionate and kind. I would really like to know how much years have gone by.
That lady is my mom! She was a beautiful woman inside n out! She had a deep faith in God. She passed away 6 years ago.
@@elizabethstahl9549 what a wonderful mother she must have been. I was truly touched by her words.
@@toddbonin6926 Yes she was! I could tell you alot about her. And how she lived her live!
How wonderful to have her memory on this film.
It feels so weird to see my ancestors in this way. I’m an ethnic Hutterite and Mennonite on my mother’s side, and it’s quite a satisfying feeling to know where I come from.
Hutterite and Mennonite, I call fowl. 2 vastly different groups. Living in SD I know Hoots very well. They are nothing like Mennonites.
@@dwlsml4118 I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. My mother’s grandparents were Prairieleut that integrated into a Mennonite community after they left one the Hutterite colonies.
They aren’t hurting anyone and seem like good hard working people
A beautiful film. I love that it’s shot in black and white. Simple, like the subjects. And beautiful.
This film was made in 1940
After sending scouts to North America in 1873 along with a Mennonite delegation, almost all Hutterites, totaling 1,265 individuals, migrated to the United States between 1874 and 1879 in response to the new Russian military service law. Of these, some 800 identified as Eigentümler (literally, 'owners') and acquired individual farms according to the Homestead Act of 1862, whereas some 400 identified as Gemeinschaftler (literally, 'community people') and started three communities with community of goods.
Most Hutterites are descended from these latter 400. Named for the leader of each group (the Schmiedeleut, Dariusleut and Lehrerleut, leut being based on the German word for people), they settled initially in the Dakota Territory. Here, each group reestablished the traditional Hutterite communal lifestyle.
I am Catholic.
Hutterites are amazing, wonderful, excellent people.
The Hutterite way of life is truly amazing I believe more of the world should be this way loving community even has fair treatment
Brilliant devout people. Brilliant filmmaking.
Their life is very similar, I think, to monasteries and convents. Fascinating, I hope they are still doing well today.
Thanks for posting, Hutterites are definitely thriving around where I live today. I see them all the time.
I was raised on a colony. Make acquaintance with them. They love company and you can bargain for stuff. Especially produce, milk. Etc.

seems such a natural way of life peaceful,happy, satisfying
I lived in High River Alberta for a while and saw lots of them around there. I had laser eye surgery in Calgary, and when I was there I saw some Hutterite women waiting in line to get laser eye surgery as well. So I guess unlike the Amish, they welcome modern technology to a degree.
DreadlockDrummer they just want to be farmers, they will take hold of nanotech if it means they are more productive farmers
@Paul best you are by far the most ignort person on this planet.
They sure do love the wal mart
Superb!
Thank-you!
These are the best people ever I do a lot of work for them 👍🏻
One of my favourite NFB documentaries. I remember watching one years ago but cannot find it anymore. All I remember was that it was about a man who tended a very large cemetery, I think in NB but am not sure. Can you recollect it? I would love to see that one again!
Thank you for beautiful documentaries. Oh and as an aside. I have gotten to know Rob Beauchamp who was the focus of your documentary on Bush Pilots in Manitoba many years ago! NFB brings people together!
have you checked the NFB UA-cam channel out ua-cam.com/video/2sGitCFl8Jc/v-deo.html
I like there way. Its pure of the land. I good friends with a colony alway a friendly hello and some one always giving you something. I buy there veg. And some times eggs and chicken. Cheaper than store if you a return customer. Very nice people. Like to talk and laugh
very interesting and refreshingly wholesome.
Brilliant doco.
their community might not be perfect, but you wont find a better one, their work is their discipline and their discipline is to honour God.

with every generation of inbreeding, the offspring will be weaker and prone to disease and birth defects
I don't think they do siblimgs and parent child relationships like they do in your family.
Andrew, I think it's common for them to marry outside of the colony (into another colony) to avoid that problem.
Ethan Allen No they don't. However they all came to Canada and the US, and there were only about 100 families.....they very very rarely marry outside of their religion and community. So there are many genetic defects in those communities because no records are kept and they have as many children as possible. It's an unavoidable fact. They are breeding like crazy and all came from only a handful of families.
What a well made film and well done to Canada to take them in and live as they choose.
Canada asked them to come here the same way that Catherine the Great invited them to Russia/Ukraine. Canada needed good farmers used to farming the prairies (the Steppes were just like Sask, Alberta and Manitoba) so they were invited as labourers, that's all. Not out of the goodness of the counties leader's hearts.
Not labourers! Customers for the railways, the farm equipment companies etc, etc and most of all tax paying farms.
+Valerie Gordon
they prospered as long as they kept to the rule not to evangelize...thus became weaker and weaker.
They’re smart enough to know that sticking with like-minded people who share common values and morality is a recipe for success. This is the fatal failing of neoliberal globalism.
It's why multi culti fails eventually
You know these kinds of communities have rampant physical and sexual abuse right and it never gets reported.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m far from sharing many Hutterite beliefs but absolutely encourage and respect their following their faith and living what I view as a clean moral life centered around God
@@cornstar1253 It´s failing miserably already. Total cultural decay.
Sounds great! God Bless them
AMEN! 😇😇😇
我好感动，感谢主！
Fascinating!
Fascinating.

I used to be really curious about hutterites because I moved to SD and saw some for the first time. I’d never heard of them before. Now, having lived there for 4 years for college and having worked at a farm store where I interacted with them regularly I can say, at least of those that I met, I never had a positive interaction with a Hutterite man or woman. Women especially. Every single one I met was either incredibly rude or impatient or just cold to me. It may have just been the colony that I was around and I don’t want to judge all of them from my experiences but I’m just saying, I met dozens and dozens over those 4 years and every interaction left me feeling worse than when I entered it. It looks like they have very interesting customs and a simple way of life, they appear to be perfectly happy and friendly to each other but for some reason that just didn’t translate to me and others I’ve spoken to at least.
Was raised on a colony. Left as a teen. Yea. They goofy.
Many of them are suppressed, you just need to break the ice. If you go there to visit them in the colony they’d open up. It’s a cult really. Was born in a colony too. Woman are typically broke as they get almost no compensation. They work them like animals. Canning cleaning. Etc. guys do not touch a stitch of laundry or a dish. I visited mom and helped her with dishes and got ridiculed.
I love it !!
Excellent!❤
It sounds as thought they are living this life, only in preparation for the next....
Shouldn't we all?
I've been on several channels in the last few days actually that I had originally thought were about Halloween. Not the anti-Haloween video I ended up with. I'm just using it as an example, I have noticed that a lot of people seem to be living this life in preparation for the next and only the next. I absolutely believe that while you're here that you should work on yourself so that you can return the soul God gave you back to him in better condition than it was received, but some people seem to be taking this so far it seems to me they're completely missing the point. It's like they're almost drugged or hypnotized, ignoring the beauty of the here and now, just waiting to die. And then once that happens and they're dead what then? I mean why were we even put here if we're not supposed to have any experience other than the worship and working for God and death? And please don't get me wrong, I'M NOT SAYING THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THESE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO LIVE THEIR LIVES. I wouldn't want someone teling telling me how to live or that the way I live is wrong. I guess I just have questions and for a nice surprise the comments section a actually sems like a place one might ask these questions and get answers, have a conversation, etc., without a bunch of people just swearing at you and just being plain jerks. I apologize, I get on a roll sometimes.
They are. They know that their time spent there will be infinitely longer than the 60-90 years they may get on this earth.
The world would be a kind wonderful place if we all lived like that.
This life is just a vapor. Gone and over in a flash. The purpose of this life is preparation for the next. That's the point of it. This little sojourn means little else.
Some people think that Hutterits, Mennonites and Amish are different but what some don't realize the Mennonites are a of branch from the Amish and the Hutterits are similar to the Mennonites. I found out my grandfathers side of the family is Mennonite and I would rather live a simpler life in the country away from the city
way back when,the Mennonites taught the Hutterites how to farm.they are not the same but have always complimented each other.
Interesting... I never heard of this colony
Very interesting to learn about other lifestyle/ religions.
I was glad to see this as we don't have Hutterites here but plenty of Amish & Mennonites. Very industrious people who take care of their own.
Clear from the influences of the media (NFB included)??? Interesting concept....they are probably much happier for it. Interesting to hear them speaking lower German....wonder how much is varies from that spoken today in Lower Saxony and Friesland.
They remind me of the quakers and amish...who are very sweet people
I miss the NFB making films like this........and if the truth be told, I think this is the way we were supposed to live.....aside from inbreeding issues....I think its probably a pretty good way of life......and compared to regular society.....a sustainable one....
where did you get the inbreeding from
andy hofer
you must be quite stupid if you don't know that there is inbreeding with these groups
@@andrewbeaudry4399 say shit like that to my face you will be gone !!

@@sliverymango1783 there's no inbreeding in the colony . That's a made up story . Simply show me a case and I'll believe it . Have a nice day
Let's all go there!
I wonder how true these facts are still today. Interesting to say the least!
+K Kawaii I grew up near a Hutterite colony in Montana. Sweet Grass Colony maybe... last I was there was around 1998 or so. They used trucks and harvesting equipment. They had an automatic door on the main colony building. They had one television, that they would all watch together, but only for the news and weather report. The women showed us a rather high tech commercial bread oven, to bake all the bread they needed. So in some sense they advance, but they only accept things that make their work better. They make some knock your socks off Hutterite wine, and some high quality wool slippers. There are politics around their children's schooling, and their land usage, but they remain as they were, as far as I know.
Cool thanks for the info!
I'm sure after 400 years the last 40 or so haven't been too explosive.
Life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...nothing wrong with that.
As long as the 'happiness' is what you're told it is.
t was so sad for me to see the gentle terrified cow and the young boy , who's eyes showed he had empathy for the life he was about to cause agony..

we tag cows now, and do not brand them. still, the thickness of cow hide means the cow feels very little when branded. mostly it's just scary for the cow to be confined for a bit while being branded. don't worry.
@@jmdenison I watched a cow the other day swing its head to try and bite a fly that landed on its hind quarters, made me think about this, surely if the cow can feel a fly on its hind leg it will feel a brand. I assume that the brand will destroy nerves very quickly anyway to be a problem for the animals suffering, so alls well in the end
Observe the young boy with the baby in his arms at 16:05. His face says it all.
GOOD FOR THEM..........LONG , MAY THEY RUN.................
I would like to know what this colony looks like now
Laura Noyes me too
There are a couple of communities n south central Mn. Very interesting group not much different than this, although quite modern workshop and farm.
Joanie Bull --Where in MN? I live in Winona and I am up for a road trip!
Same, exactly but they use robots and to robotic technology. Dancing too a lot of time for dancing now that robots do all the work.
I went to a Hutterite market. They even sold some things in disposable plastic
When was this filmed? Looks like 1950's or '60s.
1964

Thank you - I was curious - the children are my age now - (I liked the style of the early 60's, 1961-64, the clothes and the Frank Lloyd Wright influenced homes - MidCentury class)
haha. MCMLXIII is 1963
This was filmed in 1960-62
Interesting.
havent you got youre mind. god is what makes you happy , not what he wants from you, but what youve got. no higher being the love for mother nature is the answer
I remember well when i was in Winnipeg (from 1985 untill 1991), i encountered Hutterite when i was working at McDonald's. They reminds me if the Amish and Mennonites communities. Yes there is diffrences between the communities. They looked liked good enough folks. Well, i have nothing against any if them. Just didnt much about any of these 3 différent groups.
They're just like a more modern version of the Armish really? The eldest daughter is very bright, although she looks like she's lived a life and a half. Was quite shocked that they were father and daughter.
I live near some colonies and bump into them every now and then. Usually they're friendly but last time it was a guy with two children and he was rude
Lucky folk, get to have their whole roles in life picked out for them..
It look a lovey peaceful life
I wonder when this was filmed.
from a social anthropologists point of view, I would like to visit that particular colony today.
I like the fact, that they practice monogamy.
There are tons of colonies you can visit all over Canada.
That would be nice to do so empirical style.
Valerie Gordon
no not all over Canada
they don't have them in Canada's north or east coast
DO THEY WELCOME A FRESH GENE POOL? OUTSIDE CONVERTS?
They dont just practice monogamy, divorce isn't allowed. And that alone is beautiful. Heck, look what covid did for the divorce rate plummeting into a downward spiral. People don't try to make relationships work anymore, instead they run to get divorces as if their changing their socks, its sad. The Hutterites are truely beautiful people, great work ethic and encourages community relationships by how each colony is managed. I wish a colony was closer to me, I'd love to visit one and work with them for a week or two just for the experience alone. And listening to them sing just melts my heart in a thousand ways...
porfavor quiero saber mas de los huteritas
There are some You Tube channels run by Hutterites. They run through their daily lives and how they grow, preserve and cook alot of their own food.
You can tell that these poeple all share similair genes, the woman and the men both have the same look to them
what colony is that?
Alberta Cananda
@@Jeffrey13578 that doesn't tell me the name of the colony.
The colony's name is Mixburn Colony. Their town is called Minburn.
I would love to own that camera
just sayin go to 3:41 or 3:31 i dont know but its the part where they pray before dinner or lunch but turn on the subtitles
fasinating. what language are they speaking ?
Hutterite German! That is South Bavarian.Tirolean and mostly Carinthian contributed. The Hutterites also use an old fashioned Standard German.
Like a lotus. In the world but not of the world. Clean despite all the mud that surrounds them I wonder what happened? What became of this colony and the families? They all seem to have self-confidence.
We are still around
I can talk from experience it's not all peace and quiet,,if you don't mind taking orders that are sometimes hard to do you can probably make it in a hutterite colony I could not be as good as they wanted me to be ,I'm not a follower so I got out at 15 years old and never went back,I was an outlaw to them,it's not all roses and sunshine,
I'm in Montana we have hutterite colonies all around.
Montana Gal Treasures WE'RE SURROUNDED!!!!
We are more surrounded by people that are not in colonies.
Its s better way of life i agree with it and time had prooved it works
I wish i could join the community
careful what you wish for
You have no clue of the life of a Hoot. Live multiple colonies in SD. Good place to buy produce, chickens, wine and have things built. They are awesome wood and metal workers. People ALWAYS confuse them with Amish. No comparison.
18 in our family
Being a born again Christian and loving God I wish I could live this life style and not where I am living.
lets do our own colony
Don't disrespect the fact that for this community to get to this point required buckets of martyrs blood. they didn't just "decide" to do it over youtube.
i tried it for 6 months...it has spiritual bondage built into its religion...and man control is not God's will.
If you are Jewish you would have a lot to overcome here.
Actually there is quite a bit in common between the Hutterites (and also the Amish) with the Chassidic Jews (Ultra Orthodox). They even speak a similar form of old German.
Would love to talk with them.
I'm a hutterite...ask me something and I will answer sincerely
We need to ensure we continue to allow people in Canada, USA, UK and all over to live different lives if they so choose. The issue of course however is always choice and what is free choice?
No super rich preachers and the congregations poor?

Religion. 😏
Communism in its pure form, "to each of what they need, no more no less". Great video. What i like so much about this people is that they dont want to impose their belief on others. Much respect to them.
Ummm, yes they (impose) their silly beliefs on ALL of the children. This is a dreadful practice. Even the American Amish have "Rumspringa" where the teens get to run off and play amongst the fancy folk and decide if they really want to give it all up.
What i meant is on other non-amish
ALL parents impose their beliefs on their children. It's called parenting.
Your suggesting Jesus was a communist.
yep. he hated banker, capital, and forced labor.

How well are they thriving today?
WT Hendrix pretty good in montana. they have their own little villages, live tax free and make money hand over fist. on a side note they can tend to be assholes
anon amous
Thanks for telling me.
Never known much about them .
no not tax free
andy hofer let me rephrase that. income tax free
You mean personal income tax. The farm pays the same income tax as any other farm. Has the same deductions as any other farm- with the exception that there is very little hired labour cost to deduct!
My first response-I’m not good enough for them.
My Amish ancestors spread out to form other communities. My 4Xgreat grandparents left PA and migrated to the west, helping establish a community in OH before going to IN, IL and finally IA. My grandmother was shunned when my mom was a little girl because my pig of a grandfather ran off with the babysitter. Gramma was told she could get a divorce but that she'd be shunned. She could stay or leave, it was her choice. She chose to take her 2 little girls and leave.

Can I join? I want to be the preacher and introduce dancing a lot of dancing maybe even late night dancing. Where can I go to join?
Wow🤣🤣🤣
What language do they speak?

I'd love to know what that young boy, Eddie Chetter (Chedder/Chatter) is doing now. (the one that was watching the branding of the cattle). He looked about 12-14 , so he'd be 62-64 now. Maybe he is the Preacher now!

Eddie died about 33 years ago in a train crash between the towns of bruce and holden Alberta . He had 3 girls . He was 39 years old . That colony is still going strong
@@willydewit5862 Oh wow. 😥. thanks for the update.
That Eddie Tschetter was my uncle. He got killed by train in 1989. He left behind a wife n 4 daughters! Was very sad!
3:51 But at mealtimes one has little impression of family
what do they do when they get seriously sick? or are victim of an accident?
They deal with it
They go to hospital just like anyone else. They pay their taxes.
That's the guy in another film. Power hungry.
Not only was Eddie Tschetter murdered, but also Suzy, her son and his wife (2011).

Just another way of life. One where you simplify, conform and submit. In the end, life is a zero sum game, so their way is infinitely easier than free market capitalists. Freedom is having someone else make the decisions. Hard work is cathartic.
correct - zero sum game - if i may say in german - Nullsummenspiel - thats the life
spot on.
I thank a lot to life because i'm free and i can do whatever i want without hurting anyone, i would be so unhappy if i live like this
