You're right they didn't whip the dogs directly. But you're wrong they wouldn't hurt them. These dogs are part wolf and dog, and sometimes you have to beat them, because they can't be trained, like normal dogs.

Hello everyone from the common man show! I'm so glad you took the time to learn about inuit, and the traditional way of life. My name is Olivia, I am an inuk from the Arctic where this was filmed, from the very same town (though it has grown quite a bit since then). I just wanted to let you guys know some things regarding the video you watched. The word eskimo is actually quite controversial, and a lot of the time offensive to call inuit who live in Canada. We prefer Inuit (people) for plural and Inuk (person) for singular. Also, while this video is informative, and I'm glad you have watched it, it is also heavily biased to paint the white men in a good light. In those schools you saw, many children were forcibly taken from there families and abused there. Many children died in these schools, and the ones who survived were not allowed to practice their culture or speak their own language. Some children never got to see their families again. We were also slowly made reliant on foreign foods and items, all while being told our way of life was barbaric and lesser, especially by the church, which worked very hard to demonize our traditional beliefs and convert us. There are many more tragic things that have happened to the Inuit, along with all the other North American indigenous groups, but id like to happily inform you that we are regaining our culture with our traditional tattoos, clothing, hunting practices, language and music. Traditional foods aren't as readily available as they once were but most everyone gets to enjoy it from time to time. I love raw seal, and frozen caribou meat dipped in fermented walrus oil. I love berry picking and drinking tea. Qujannamik Thank you Olivia (Akeeshoo)

[@julianneheindorf5757]

Hi Olivia, I live in Nuuk, Greenland where I have spent most of my life. I’m not a Greenlander, but more than half of my family members are. I completely agree with you as to your assessment of this video. You are completely correct, and although Greenlanders have not been through the same harsh treatment as the Inuit in Canada, Greenland was never-the-less a colony of Denmark for 250 years with all that entails. Being a colony of another country is never a good thing. Today, Greenland enjoys extensive autonomy, but we are still a part of Denmark and people in Greenland are Danish citizens. While there is a strong desire for independence, it’s not really likely that we will be able to achieve it as our population is just too small to maintain an independent Greenland.

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

Thank you so much for sharing, Olivia! This comment should be pinned!

[@pb7199]

i wholeheartedly agree with you- the video is from the 50s and it very obviously is trying to educate white people on how inuit people are not "savages", but it completely glosses over the discrimination and pressure to assimilate they faced over many years of contact with white christians. i hope that in the years to come you and your community can slowly reclaim your culture and reestablish your traditions. colonised people all over the world will understand how it feels to have their culture demonised by outsiders but hopefully we will all heal from the past. lots of love from an australian bangladeshi :)

You definitely sound like an educated liberal and I agree that is a mistake. I am sure if you want to find some snow to run around in and hunt seal to eat raw you can.

[@yugioht42]

Eskimos aka the intuit are not really doing the same living on the ice anymore. Most if not all of them are in regular towns and villages. The 1980s brought the end of the traditional way of life. They still hunt though but with the hunting license requirement its a little harder but these people do have a exception in that as they can can them more freely and cheaply. Trade in fur isn't well regarded anymore and had died out already instead most of them are in the fishing industry in some capacity. Dogs aren't as used anymore especially with the Snowmobile being easily gained and fuel dirt cheap in Alaska. Dogs are only really used for the Iridoid once a year and the qualifiers. You never see dogs running place to place for nothing. Times have changed and even these people became modernized.

Hello, I am from Nome, Alaska. My heritage is Inupiaq (Eskimo). My Maternal family have been in this area, the Seward Peninsula for centuries. My maternal Great Grandmother only had one name, no last name, and she was an expert at making everything from the clothes she wore using cloth from the trading post or general store and the skins of animals that she trapped to finding and processing the abundance of natural foods that were all around if you knew where to look, to telling intriguing and exciting stories and legends from the Seward Peninsula area. My gramma (her 3rd and only surviving daughter born in 1918) was mother of 12 children, TB survivor who lost a lung in the early 1950's, an expert in artic survival as well as an expert storyteller, clothes maker, trapper, dog musher, gold miner, seafood processor, business owner, musician along with her husband Pete Wright who owned and ran the Pit Bar in Seward, Alaska together for a while. Grampa Pete played pedal steel guitar and would "sit in" with the Sons of the Pioneers when they came to Alaska. Grampa passed in the early1970's. Gramma lived to be 99 and passed in 2017. All the people my grandparents knew whether bush pilot or business owner or just an older family member or friend of theirs seemed to be larger than life with big Alaskan stories filled with big Alaskan challenges, and IN GENERAL they all seemed to know each other and cared for each other, white, black, brown, native, foreign, whatever all had gut busting stories of survival and accomplishment of seemingly impossible things done alone or together as a family helping all to survive and thrive in Alaska. Now I am grampa with 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. I knew this video would make me break down and cry, I hesitated to watch it at first.

[@Snoeflekz]

The ”raw meat eaters” thing was debunked by linguists a long time ago. Most common theory today is that ”Eskimo” derived from the Innu word ”ayaskimew”, meaning ”lacer of snowshoes”. Also, while the word ”Inuit” makes sense for Inuit people, it doesn’t really for the Yupik people, who belong to another language branch.

[@joymukpik6087]

There are different tribes/clans which are considered Eskimo. Depending on the location Alaska, Canada, and Russia too. In Alaska, there a few different tribes/clans. Inupiaq, Athabascan, Aleut, Inuit, and Yupik are a few names of people. Igloos were used as a way to not freeze to death at night or during a storm while out hunting. To this day, some still live off the land. Eskimos have been living in this extreme environment for thousands and thousands of years.

Well that's how most if not all people are named in other languages: a new arrival first encounters their neighbours, hears their name for them which, due to human's warlike nature, is more often than not somewhat derogatory, adopts it and spreads it back home amongst his people and neighbours. Hence Eskimos are also called Eskimos in e.g. German, while we ourselves are called German because the Romans first heard about us from the Gaulic Celts who called us "the screamers" due to our maori haka like war chant before battle in antiquity. 2000+ years later still half of the world calls us German aka "the screamers" when we have consistently for all that time called us "Deutsch" (those belonging to the people) or by our respective Tribes internally (e.g. i am a Ripuarian (Rhine-Frank ("the part of the tribe of the "brave/daring warriors" that lives along the river rhine")).

I grew up in the South Bronx, in the 80's, and I find myself saying that a lot because I rarely met people who were sincere, actually applaud other people's success or good fortune AND be sincere about it. Anyone growing up there (or any of the five boroughs) know what I mean cuz you just couldn't escape other people's 'hustle' and BS in one way or another. The people in this video, as well as all the one's I've seen on this channel, actually do this and THAT is impressive. I just checked all my pockets; I've got no fux to give about their religion, ethnicity, political views or social affiliation cuz when I was growing up I used to hear "real recognize real" and these guys are. Nice job!

The Inuit do not like being called Eskimos. Edmonton changed the name of their football team to the Elks because the term is offensive. Aboriginals and Metis also don't like being called Indians, we're not from India.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.

[@ll7868]

@@brendacawston9236 It's like calling Japanese "Raw Fish Eaters" or Scots "Boiled Gut Eaters". The Inuit don't eat the meat raw, they cook, salt or smoke it, they eat the blubber raw which is an excellent source of protein and calories needed for cold weather and heavy work.

[@rld8258]

@@ll7868 clearly they did eat it raw in this video

[@ll7868]

@@rld8258 That was blubber, the thick layer of fatty insulation and blood vessels under the skin that keep seals and whales warm in arctic water, it has to be eaten raw before the blood settles and clots, the blood is what makes it taste good. Whatever isn't eaten is used for oil lamps, soap, candles and cooking/frying.

Man, that was actually really interesting video. I didn't pay any attention to actual reaction :D I actually went out to check out some Inuit history because of this. It's 60s film so obviously it can't really be taken totally seriously, but really interesting look into past none the less.

[@terrylynn9984]

I hope you explained to them the Inuit no longer really live like this......there are many modern documentaries that you can show them as well. Sadly there is food insecurity, the traditional hunting has become expensive as now the hunters use skidoos which require insurance , gas, the cost of buying one, also the cost of a gun license, the food sold in the Northern Community grocery stores are 3 times higher cost then what we pay for in the southern parts of Canada. In the 1950s, Inuits were also forcibly removed from the northern areas of Quebec and Labrador and put into the most northern regions of Canada due to Canadian sovereignty, families were divided. Canadian govt has much to answer for.

[@ecb1979]

I was just about to say that this totally felt like an old school propaganda video. What was done to Inuits and all native Canadians was despicable

[@Ripcraze]

If you go far back enough in history everyone and every country has something to answer for, that's how history is made and how the world keeps changing, which it will always keep doing for all eternity until it is swallowed by the sun.

[@terrylynn9984]

@@ecb1979 exactly what this is and full of stereotypes and well. Now the Inuit lived in established communities, children attend school etc. This would be like showing an old Canadian film to Americans , some of whom believe our Mounties ride on horses, and that Canada is cold all the time. Heck today its 61 degrees Farenheit where I live in Ontario.

In the very old days our Inuit ancestors CARVED OUT... big cooking vessels out of stone, instead of metal soup pots!! We show those in our museums now. We have some special kind of stone, that is so soft, that you can carve things out of it!

[@betterknownas4106]

Definitely feels like a propaganda film, even if mixed with some facts, about these poor and "primitive" Eskimos (which I've now learned is an offensive word, so I will now say Inuit), were "saved" by the White man (at least that's what the narrator keeps saying, in effect, which today we would call the "White savior complex"), and how that brought "progress" to these people, although reading some of the comments from people who are of Inuit descent, it's clear that what really was happening was a takeover of native land and a dilution of indigenous culture to where it's become almost extinct. I'm sure Indian films of that similar era, created by the British imperialists/colonizers who controlled India from 1858 to 1947, were probably of the same theme of progress brought to "backwards countries", which was the term Western countries used to describe what we now call "Third World Countries". (which isn't that much better, to be honest)...kinda like how an "immigrant" and an "expat" are essentially the same thing except to assign the label to those who are either poor and/or usually non-white (immigrant), and those who are foreigners with money and/or privilege (expat). Hopefully you can show them an updated film to show what has become of Inuit culture as a result of that "progress" shown in the older film. Now, I'd be VERY impressed if you showed them a short film to discuss the ridiculousness of the Caste System and how the British implemented that to divide Indians by skin color and so-called social class! It would be amazing to hear their own comments about what they think about the Caste system and if they are for or against it.

[@betterknownas4106]

@Adam Courchaine Despite the obvious sarcasm from your statement, the answer would have been 'yes' back then, because how did these people successfully survive and thrive centuries before Europeans even entered their lands? Your answer already shows your mindset is in-line with that "white savior complex". "Aid" given by Western countries always comes with a condition, which history shows again and again and again is about ultimately exploiting the people to gain some advantage for themselves, and in that region it's usually for oil exploration & military positioning, among other things. The video he showed them is a prime example of this type of propaganda, and if you can't (or don't) want to acknowledge that, that's perfectly fine because history speaks for itself. If I listed historical examples here, it would fill up this comment section beyond capacity. I have no issue with indigenous people exchanging goods and services with any type of people, but I do have a huge issue with the exploitation of people we deem "underprivileged" by rich nations, who historically have been people of European descent, but which now also include some Asian ones as well (as China has been steadily doing on the African continent, for example, bankrolling infrastructure projects while bribing local politicians and gaining control of land and resources, which Europeans have been doing on that continent for centuries, but act as saviors and create films and commercials to paint an entire continent as one country that is full of poverty, famine, flies, and illiteracy and in need of charitable aid).

[@lucetteketley9114]

The caste system was ingrained in India long before the British arrived.
