We also have berries and greens from the wild to add to our diet. I still eat a lot of our nature food from the land and sea. I married a man who is originally a blond, blue eyed German. He has grown to like a lot of our food as it is caught fresh and served when fresh. Furs are also the only garment that will keep you warm the harshest of climate. No man made material can compare to furs.
These people humble me, and make me give thanks for all the things I have that make life so easy and comfortable. I watch them with almost shame for how I've counted all those things I have that I've counted as nothing. They amaze me how they can survive in such a hostile environment
+Кортни Грэхем lol, not really, my grandmother was one of these people, she was diffidently not happy. there is a lot of things that goes unsaid in this dokument. In greenland one of the biggest events in a persons life is their first day of school, not because we care much about school, but because almost every child used to be death before the age of 5. My grandmother was caring for her siblings when her mother and father went out to hunt, and her baby sister died in her arm, she was only 7 at the time, inbreeding was also a huge problem back then, but we do not talk about that, that is taboo.
thank you for completing the video with your own life account. It makes us more human to hear about other people different kind of life struggle. Health is the most important, living a hard life while being healthy and free can bring happiness.
Coming from a desert I can see the similarities both places are inhospitable, barren, and unforgiving places. They are exactly the same thing except they are opposite of two extremes.
That’s a most humble beautiful family...it’s incredible to watch them how they can survive in hostile environment....I’m very highly respected them ...and very touching
Each family member had a Job, The Men and Son would hunt they were taught at a young age, the women gathered made clothing and kept house each job was important, if you were lazy you weren't wanted even if you were appealing lol.
The audio guy probably knew guns didn't sound like that, but old US westerns would often use the classic ricochet sound, so it was normal to use it in many films/docs at that time to represent a gunshot. Most of the other sound effects in this are probably Foley.
Hello from Los Angeles. In 1968 I had an Eskimo roommate in College. He was sent by Bureau of Indian Affairs and later joined the Navy. Joel Uyumnick from the village of Unalakleet. If anyone knows him, let me know. He should be around 70 yr.
Marvelous :: lm reminded of stories told by an Aleut Eskimo during our time in the military , his Christian name is Erich Morgan . At night Erich would arise sound asleep singing and dancing speaking Inuit with his grandmother in the manner of his people . Erich was a good man , I still remember his adventures of hunting and fishing .
@hellerZauberer My dad had the Yupik beaten out of him when he went to school. When ever he spoke his language he had his hands slapped with a ruler...across the knuckles too. I had that done to me when I was in school, but not for speaking my tongue. My dad heard about this and he left work to deal with the principle immediately. Later he told me of how he got his hands slapped. How his dad and his brother and sister in law, brought back dance to our area.
@@justxpenguin12345they receive free healthcare and free education (from kindergarten all the way to university) from the government of Canada (Quebec) because the government had to compensate both the Inuit and Cree people for the genocide and slaughter of Inuit and Cree
@@justxpenguin12345 the government of Quebec wanted to buy the land of the Inuit and the land of the Crees but the tribes debated with the government and they had a stand off agreement in the end the government didn’t buy the land but they made an agreement if they had part of the lands the Inuit and Crees owned the Inuit and Crees would get free healthcare and free education in return for some of their land
young youtubers, these people's lifestyle exist no more. All these documentaries have the status of museum documents giving you a glimpse into a world that was swallowed If you want to oppose the destruction of culture and unique people, you need to stop supporting globalism and international corporatism that wants to make all people boringly identical so they can sell you their junk devices. If you own a smartphone especially iphone you contributed to the destruction of world cultures.
I love this documentary. It makes me sad to think that the children could very well be dead by now. I would love to know what the future held for them.
@@odinoky5814 The documentary was made 73 years ago. Harri & Vera were aged about 10 & 8 respectively. That would make them 83-80 years old now (2022). It's more than possible they are still alive.
This footage depicts the natural lifestyle of the Eskimo, a special people who depend on their own skill for survival. They take only what they need..Nothing is wasted. So unlike us "modern " people
@gvenema That sounds like Danny Bravo, who did the voice of Hadji in "Jonny Quest". But he was born in 1948 while this thing was filmed in 1949. Could the voice-over have been plugged in years later?
I'm an Eskimo and no we dont get offended by being called an Eskimo. We are hard workers and our tradtion must live on even though our new generation provides a lot more than what we use to get back in the days.
Something very interesting about the Inuit is that they are able to live on an almost all meat and fish diet with out having any heart disease or any of the common diseases associated with such a diet
I am and was born an Inupiat native of Alaska living off the land. I wish we can turn back time and remain a nation by ourselves instead of Russia taking land and selling what was not theirs. Was hard to grow up with laws made by people who do not understand or know of our ways of survival. We have even less freedom when the land claims went though. Long story. Just telling a little of my thoughts.
First, in this video, Inuit Kamiks(sealskin boots) are waterproof and the hunter could easily walk in the water without bother but would have hunted with a real kayak or in group, with a large open REAL umiak...Parkas have the face shielded without the fancy long haired ring and be inside out caribou skin... (Coppermine Inuits hunted caribous all winter without ANY fire) Few old time Inuits had rifles and they still hunted polar bears with spears and ivory knives! Inuit Igloos used no fabric etc
Yup. Iglu just means "house" period. The round snowhouse tradition did not reach as far West as Alaska. Danish explorer/sailor/trader/author/romantic Peter Freuchen wrote that The People of Greenland only built round snowhouses during winter travel. It was The People of the Central Arctic who built larger and more elaborate round snowhouses to live in throughout the winter. Some of the wintering whaling captains took some pretty good photographs. Look up Dorothy Harley Eber.
Interesting and well done documentary (considering it was 1949). I live in Northern Maine and have experienced quite cold weather, but up there it is COLD!
Interesting video. Obviously, it was made before Alaska became a U.S. state in 1959, since the narrator refers to Alaska as a U.S. "territory". But the sheer resourcefulness of mankind never ceases to amaze me. If a person can survive in that environment, then he can survive anywhere. Got bless these forgotten American citizens.
Love this boys ,very well put together film, for at the time it is ahead of the time , and dad is a good shot ,never took a rest much to shoot ,I'm watching it again ,amazing how so close to starvation, if everyone doesn't help ,or bad luck happens , family as it should be ,a lost way of life that could destroy us if ,it comes to it ,and may
We all should learn how to live off the land. Most of us know nothing when it come to huntin in the primitive world. What is the life expectancy for Eskimo’s?
It might be old footage and from an age when the messages in film work were perhaps cuoturally naive or less well informed. But the images are very interesting - thanks for posting this.
l love them. I love humanity and humans. the only people i dont like are turks from Turkey because they call us the kurds, mountain Turks. They are racists and treat us realy bad and like animals.i hate them
My parents grew up this way before fish and game was put in. I grew up this way as fish and game started to dictate to us when, how, or what to hunt or fish. Violating their law was bought into the court system. Discouraged a lot of our youth growing up starting in the late eighties as fish and game became more aggressive in asserting their authority. Yes, my time of happiness is when I am out gathering our food from the land.

@@enanden9025 thanks for sharing your grandma memories with us, I really hope things will get better for the Arctic original people.
Awesome quality documentary for 1949. I love that the Eskimo boy is the one narrating rather than some outsider.
Or a robotic voice. 😎
I've watched this 5 times already and its always a bummer when it comes to an end.
Why
My dad & grandma are from Point Hope,I wish they lived long enough to tell me of my family.nThis gives me alot of insight, thanks.
Coming from a desert I can see the similarities both places are inhospitable, barren, and unforgiving places. They are exactly the same thing except they are opposite of two extremes.
Another similarity is regions with harsh climates have smaller populations.

Odd choice of sound dubbing for the gun (sound of a ricochet). Chosen by a person who has never heard a gun fire.
What if the seal was wearing armor plating?

It's hard to believe they were still living like that in 1949 .
Jamal Al-Uqdah I would expect them to be the surviving ones if any because they’re so isolated up there that diseases may not have reached them.
I got a question do there inuit people get educated?

Wonder where he gets his ammo? What's the cost of it back then?
Inuits or eskimos , are actually not as closely related to native Americans as one would think . They're actually mongolian descendants.
We share a common cultural ancestor with the Mongolians. Also Inuits is not a word Inuit is already plural.
