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.

[@backpackerthrulife8497]

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

[@juice8431]

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.

[@user-dc4bl1cu2k]

Another similarity is regions with harsh climates have smaller populations.

[@enanden9025]

+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.

[@SandyRiverBlue]

Odd choice of sound dubbing for the gun (sound of a ricochet). Chosen by a person who has never heard a gun fire.

[@Jinisinsane]

What if the seal was wearing armor plating?

[@shornoMALONEY]

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.

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.

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.

[@hotspur666]

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

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.

Great video.

[@bessieofnome]

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.
