A lot of love in this family. A good father and husband too. Amazing documentary, and reminder of how blessed we are.

[@filipsaric4844]

Someone commented that this doc is a good reminder of how blessed we are I am telling you that these people lived happier more meaningful lives than 90% of us today and were healthier and more fulfilled in every way

[@aquaflow1264]

Someone is alwys gona have their opinion, and that’s perfectly fine

[@usergobble3259]

They look miserable

I have been to Point Hope many times since 2001 until 2010. I worked there many times. I have seen the houses in this film and walked around them. They still are amazing. Life there has improved. But the weather is still very harsh. I really liked this film and enjoyed it greatly. The housing is modern now, but the village is isolated. In and out now is by small airlines that connect to the lower parts of Alaska and the other villages on the North Slope.

[@robertkadow3367]

Awesome video; thank you for making. Looking forward to others. The father in this video loves his family & treats them with respect

[@aurourajest2557]

Thats amazing how he pulls the animals in im very impressed

[@comfusedpassanger3399]

It is really interesting to see old film clips of such a unique way of life as the Innuit live. This People is hardy like few other Peoples. The daughter is right, her father was certainly a good shooter.

[@charlielaudico3523]

Great picks of the way life used to be! No youth today could endure what these people endured

[@charleywalker2982]

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

[@martinphilip8998]

My mother taught Innuit children in Nome back in 1945. One day a school assembly featured local hunters demonstrating how to butcher seals.

[@alexcarter8807]

It makes sense. I grew up in Hawaii and we learned all the things you can make with different parts of a coconut tree (it's a lot of things).

[@batchelerjr]

Only in Alaska

[@SPHYNX99752]

Your mom was involved in the punishment of natives the suppression of the Inupiaq language and the destruction of our culture...

[@robertwhite3752]

@martinphilio8998 that’s awesome! that would’ve been fantastic to see and experience. I’d love to sit down and listen to your mothers stories. I bet she had some wonderful ones.

[@martinphilip8998]

@@robertwhite3752 Thanks. She sure did. In the Memory Care unit she was the only “patient” who could talk. The staff loved her. My neighbor is a speech pathologist who would take her college students to see what old people were REALLY like. She wouldn’t let them visit my ma because she was atypical. Some of her wilder stories turned out to be true. My parents left Nome after a plane crashed. The controllers were drinking beer with my mother and were negligent. They threatened to kill my father so they packed up and left. Glad they did.

[@thevet2009]

So much has changed. Great documentary.

[@jbusta8548]

I have lived in Alaska three times and it is a very desolate land and extremely cold and dark in the winter months, and the native Americans who live there are tough and work hard for their food and it was very humbling to me and I learned a lot of things just to keep warm and eat in the Arctic 🥶

[@dherman0001]

Unfortunately we've given them boatloads of free money so they don't have the desire to do the much harder work of fetching their own food. The seas off Alaska are loaded with sustainable populations of seal, whale, fish, and crab. The land has predictable reindeer and other meat animals. Instead, it's "here's free money, drink up!".

[@SPHYNX99752]

None of the natives in Alaska have subsurface Rights.. the permanent fund dividends are a pittance.

[@dherman0001]

@@SPHYNX99752 BS, they drink the money away.

Uugruk hunting is very much alive! Trouble is that gasoline is $8 a gallon and takes 100 gallons to go out and successfully put oil on the table!

[@DetroitGoldie]

I did notice lol

None of the background sounds are real.

Correct -all noises added later in a studio. Way it was back then. Still a great story.

[@cranetrucker1298]

I wish i could cast as accurate as that!😊😊

[@nelsonx5326]

Eskimos are cool.

[@johnsmith-ht3sy]

They invented so many tools to survive a harsh climate, unlike in tropical Africa.

[@098317]

And tribal people in tropical villages also needed skills to stay alive.

[@tomekk503]

Inuit (Eskimo) eating raw meat was the ultimate Native hunter. They were better than Viking that burn wood for heat. What Inuit did for cold weather they burn animal fat ( without deforestation).

[@zoop2132]

" the trader knows the value of the furs we bring". I bet.

[@istvannemeth3348]

Hard life, good people...

[@flyingsnow311]

No communists attacking and enslaving them. No rude police. No house payments. " insurance " . No divorce. No thieves...

Tribal boundaries... Alaska has 231 federally recognized tribes, almost half the number of tribes in the Nation. Each tribe throughout the country is unique. However, there are collective differences between Alaska tribes and those in the Lower 48.

Those poor dogs are very well adapted to live outside in the cold. I have Greenland sleddogs. When small they "accept" to stay inside a warm house for a short time. The adults, well fed - they refuse. Too hot.
