In the greatest land rights settlement of the postcolonial era, the Inuit people of the Canadian arctic were granted self-determination over a huge swathe of the frozen north to create their own territory, called Nunavut. The tragic consequences of the Inuits first contact with Europeans still marks the land. Crosses protrude from the ice, and graves of the Sallitmut Inuit who perished from diseases contracted from Scottish whalers. Ever since that inauspicious beginning they’ve been fighting for independence. The irony is, now they’ve finally achieved it, their children are aspiring to the colonialists’ agenda. The elders of the newly chosen government are keen to shake off the alienation they felt in their own land. They’re putting igloo building and hunting back in the curriculum. But many children are no longer interested in trapping foxes or roaming the ice fields. They want to live the Western way and their traditional education is not serving them well. With 60% unemployment, addiction and suicide rates are soaring. The new Western Mining Corps Gold mine only expects to employ 25% Inuit for it’s new installation. Can Nunavut’s 24,000 inhabitants escape the despair, suicide and substance abuse that has characterised their colonial experience? An beautiful film that addresses the very real challenges faced by the Inuits with their chance in a lifetime.

It's all about control, the powers that be don't want you to be free.
The reality is that most Inuit under about 40 really don't care about Inuit culture and most dont even speak the language. My cousin began his career in the RCMP by working among Inuit. He wanted to learn Inuit but had to learn from an 80 year old man who also taught him culture.
Its just sad that younger generation don't bother with their traditions.
Because the Europeans have suppressed their culture so much, to the point where not even their own have any motivation, or pride, or inspiration, to be Inuit. In fact, for them it probably feels more like burden.
You should be proud to be Inuit! 💪
Brian Fuller That’s not even the reality.. maybe it is for him but I’m half Inuit and whenever I go up north to my mom literally every child there knows Inuktitut, and every adult teaches their kids our traditional skills..
Islam is the only saviour of nostalgia on earth
@@Neorient lol go home your drunk.
Thanks so much
Alcohol and idleness.
Nothing remains the same. People learn new customs and leave the old behind. It's the way of life.
Yes but the world's going to shit
@@drhfhs Guess that's why the rich wants to conquer space.
@@america6545 I mean socially going to shit , rate of social progression is what holds us back. Growing hate and deception and misery in the world while love and happiness fades
@@drhfhs The only thing we can change is ourselves. We choose to love or hate. Peace.
Its not the way of life, people invade and take a persons traditions away
Very nice documentary
Not quite
Of course...we want to forget all native cultures..this should not be a surprise. Cheif ilini gone, bitching about the Redskins, get rid of cheif wahoo (Cleveland Indians). Just make it a all disappear into one culture.
4000 years? Old out dated documentary.
1999 it says at the beginning
Islam is the only saviour of nostalgia
Таких условиях они не могут принять Ислам незнаю.
Are they like kazkhs or Mongolians?
no they are inuits ,stupid its in the title
@@Louis14022 actually we (I'm of Inuit decent) are related to Mongolians. We share very similar genetics and even a few traditions and customs... Asking questions is never stupid... Your rude reply however was pretty stupid because you gave an answer to something you knew nothing about. Manners, education and respect is exactly what is lacking in way to many people these days
No.. we are pure Inuit.
And who's fault would that be? Oh that's right--theirs.
Ya it's their fault they were forced into unrelenting fast change
@@FerintoshFarmsPhotography "forced into unrelenting fast change" lmao k
No.. it’s you’re great granpa who’s responsible with and their 25 genders.
