The Chipewyan (/tʃɪpəˈwaɪən/ chip-ə-WHY-ən, also called Denésoliné or Dënesųłı̨né or Dënë Sųłınë́, meaning "the original/real people")[2] [3] are a Dene Indigenous Canadian people of the Athabaskan language family, whose ancestors are identified with the Taltheilei Shale archaeological tradition.[4][5][6] They are part of the Northern Athabascan group of peoples, and come from what is now Western Canada.
They survived quite well, until their relocation shortly after this documentary. Look up sayisi dene relocation. It is quite devestating what happened to them
👍👍Marsi for setting them straight, mate. It's National Film Board propaganda. They couldn't even hire a local to narrate it. I can't stand the narrator's 🐂💩 phony accent. I had to turn off the sound to watch it.
What a life. True freedom. A willingness to live a simple life like this brings true freedom. Modern politicians say freedom is not free. Their freedom is a lie.
True freedom? You spend all your waking hours searching for and processing food. Then, if there is some problem, you starve. You are dreaming my friend.
Great short film!!! Caribou Hunter was using an Ol' Stevens 325 .30-30... Period correct, and likely nearly new rifle considering these were only made 1947-'49.
Concerned Citizen, sounds as though you are the one not educated about First Nations people. My people did not squander their resources, if something was killed it used to the fullest. The same can not be said about those who stole the land.
This is close in time and space to the hunting described in the book "People of the Deer" by Farley Mowatt (published in 1952, revised in 1975). There is some good description of methods and attitudes around hunting.

Technically made by Savage but Savage used the Stevens name on this rifle. It's a Stevens model 325 which then sold for $38.25. The Savage model 340 was a few dollars more.
The rifle the hunter is using is a Savage/ Stevens spoon handle bolt action probably a model 325. I believe they first came out in 1947. I had one in 30-30 . With a little work, it was amazingly accurate.
So funny... basically it’s Cree and Dene up there.. I am part French but also my moms side comes from Irish and Cree. Now how I know? Cuz I came from this reserve before the city. Haha I still remember the day we left. It was so sad. And very intimidating. Moving from local towns 1000 people plus moving to 30k people.twas something else
In subsistence hunting, one does not stop at one caribou. They will move on and may not be found for another year. Before and after the Game Dept. put a limit, one would not be bothered by a game warden. Eating and survival are more important than a quota. He surely regrets having a film crew along ...
I had a friend that while stationed in Alaska during his military he came upon some Eskimo’s that had killed several caribou. They had opened part of the stomach and were eating the vegetation that the caribou had eaten. They offered him some but he declined” he had a weak stomach ❤️🥴
They lived in summer camps on the trapline and sent their families to the rezz when winter came !once a year my great grandfather would bring a bag of candies after selling his fur and my grandmother said it was such a treat lol
They had no idea about the environment then. Opens with "The barren lands and forest fringes of Northern Canada...:, then proceeds to describe the culture of harvesting animals from these "barrens", which obviously can't be barren if large quantities of these animals are available to be harvested, Doh!
most of us don't like been called Chipewyans. we prefer Denesuline or Dene. means human or man. depends. nowadays it's more of an insult to be called chipewyan
They aren't actually talking about the Dene, they're talking about the Anishinaabeg. Some Anishinaabeg are called Chippewa, and then the Dene are sometimes called Chipweyan. Two different groups that actually aren't connected at all. Annoying isn't it? :P
As an African Black by skin colour, I was thrilled and amazed to had discovered my beloved native ancestors and relative bloodline groups in North American countries Canada and United States of America.
Wango Yima there are no black native tribes in Canada in fact its very hard for Non-Natives to claim being Native in Canada its not as easily as it is in America we have laws and rights protecting our cultures and languages from culture vultures skin colour wise whites and Blacks don't belong to North America....
I partially respect and agreeable with you firmly as there are no black Native ancestors yet their skin colours pured by the coldest temperature weather conditions during their migrations from one place to another since the past centuries ago

Wow! A real treasure to see this video. I'm sure you must be proud of him. These are true Men of that day. ( Not sure of the men of today)

Wow cool u musta heard some crazy stories ehhhh....BIGFOOT???
As an half Ojibway half Oji-cree. This is very educational to me. Very nice and entertaining video.
AMAZING how these people survived. So interesting I enjoyed this video very much. THANKS
They survived quite well, until their relocation shortly after this documentary. Look up sayisi dene relocation. It is quite devestating what happened to them
after 71 years, who's watching it in 2022?
Me in 2023 👍
Me and it is now 2023
That’s how my dad grew up. He is 75 now. He still loves going back to the bush.
Terrific film. This is real history. Thanks for uploading!
There are no Chippewa, Ojibway, Saulteaux in this film. It's Cree and Dene (aka Chipewyan) in northern MB.
👍👍Marsi for setting them straight, mate. It's National Film Board propaganda. They couldn't even hire a local to narrate it. I can't stand the narrator's 🐂💩 phony accent. I had to turn off the sound to watch it.
Tuff People, tuff Dogs, and tuff hunting. I like these old films.
We are Denesulin'e. It brings back great wonderful memories ! I'm now 57
Tadoule lake?
I believe the narrator is actually saying Chipewyan which is an Athabaskan speaking people rather than the Algonquin speaking Chippewa or Anishinaabe.
What a life. True freedom. A willingness to live a simple life like this brings true freedom. Modern politicians say freedom is not free. Their freedom is a lie.

@@ariennelandry9207 yes and w/your lazy azz attitude, you would be the first to starve .......

I like how the narrator’s accent is all over the place :).
Yes, he definitely seemed to get more and more "native" sounding as the film went on..🤔
Yes... accent is a fake..

Loved this. My home 🤙🏾🤙🏾
This was made in 1951. That Savage 30/30 would have been a brand new gun then. I think that model came out in 1950.
Technically made by Savage but Savage used the Stevens name on this rifle. It's a Stevens model 325 which then sold for $38.25. The Savage model 340 was a few dollars more.

My people, my grandparents would always tell me stories about this
Amazing strong people I wish I could go stay about a week with them if I could last that long but I try ** they work really hard ❤

Nice one. The peoples mentioned in the film are not Chippewa, Saulteaux nor Ojibway. Narrator talks of Chipewyan (an Athabaskan people) and Cree.
It took me a while to notice that . I was confused
Very true . I am Dene , North Saskatchewan, NWT border.
We are called , Denesulin'e.
I read the Mowat books but the film just showed me how different these times and those times were.
I miss them so very much my dad my Disain Family. Always in my heart.
Great History Amsd Very Historycal
Awesome 👍
Cheers to all those who long to have lived in simpler times! Hope everyone has a prosperous 2024!
looks like a savage model 340 , bolt action 30-30 rifle, hard to tell from the film,but thats my observation. nice film.
It’s a Stevens model 342
@@ffarmchicken Basically the same rifle with different writing on it.
Yes he is very talented
This is wow!
I am Montagnard jarai like this film
Things were so much better back then.

No body does this in northern ontario

My Grandpa Salomon Cook!!
They were not nomadic like they say. They were forced onto reservations and their children were takin away
They lived in summer camps on the trapline and sent their families to the rezz when winter came !once a year my great grandfather would bring a bag of candies after selling his fur and my grandmother said it was such a treat lol

***** what?
***** no one is calling the dene Chippewa
***** nor is anyone calling all white men evil. You said that.
I'm saying this again. No one was calling the Dene Chippewa.
did he say the fonz was born there at 16:10 lol
Yupper! "Their fonz are born there".
Yes we have it on good authority that the Fonzi was born there in the spring.
