[@karinmalcolm3352]

Fantastic!

[@maryfiaola3686]

1952? wow! have to thank the people that made all these videos for us to see how eskimos lived, i feel lucky to get that privilege .

[@drsrikanthr9148]

There is one from 1933.... They dont even have rifles... check it out on youtube.

Although Doug Wilkinson was an independent writer and filmmaker, your thanks should also be directed towards the NFB (the National Film Board of Canada)! They supported and nurtured an incredible amount of talent and accomplishment during the past 85 years or more! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 📷 🎥 📸 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Film_Board_of_Canada

What a beautiful people

[@not2tees]

The plague of meaningless work afflicting everyone today touched these Eskimo not for a minute.

[@doidletp]

But the occasional starvations that kept their populations low rarely touch us today.

From where does the timber come for boat building?

Amazing Doc, just wish they were kinder to the sled dogs:(

I like to hear our children sing it’s mean life going well in our land “ but this is not always “.......

[@CheezyDewitt]

Is it a coincidence that one of histories worst oil spills wipes out the seal population in this area never to return? I don't think it was a coincidence at all.

[@Crowwtf]

Foreal

[@tonybaloney8401]

Theres a huge seal population on baffin island, and "let's waste huge amounts of oil to mess with the Eskimos" sounds pretty dubious

[@moleqle]

It was an accident, they were delivering your smart phone/computer/tablet.

[@stingingmetal9648]

Oh cmon man....

[@janesmith9024]

Lovely to see., Thanks. I think it is a pity they were eating biscuits - Western junk food already by 1952 rather than seal meat for a snack

[@hazelpearson7807]

Junk food? Hard tack biscuits could not be further from junk food

[@markpimlott2879]

Yes ...white flour, unfortunately, but could be dipped in the blood and broth of 'country foods'! 'Favoured because it was also very durable and highly portable! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

I want to change the name of NorthWest Territories to Inuk. So you would have Yukon, Inuk and Nunavut.

[@markpimlott2879]

Although the NWT is the home of the Inuit people of the Mackenzie Delia and the Beaufort Sea (the Inuvialuit), Dene and other First Nations' peoples' traditional lands cover the vast majority of that huge Canadian territory. The NWT has about ten official languages, of which Inuvialuitun is one! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

[@markpimlott2879]

"Inuit" means 'the people' in Inuktitut. It's a plural term "Inuk" refers to a single Inuit person, whether male or female! 'Hardly an appropriate name for a territory! When Nunavut was created in 1999 from the Eastern Canadian Arctic portion of the NWT and the areas north of the tree line, there was an official poll in the NWT in order to consider names for the remaining portion of the territory. "Bob" polled highest, followed by "Restofit" (the Rest of It). The third favourite option of retaining the original and historic Canadian name was officially adjudicated! Who says even northern Canadians don't have a sense of humour? 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

That's how they harpoon? That seemed like such an unsuccessful method to harpoon anything at all? I'm sure that I am missing something?

[@matthewmann8969]

Inuits have co existed, traded, dealer, crossed paths, and had relations with various peoples be it Inuits, Yupiks, Aleuts, Amerindians, Europeans, Alaskan Creoles aka Metis aka Mestizos aka Mixed Bloods and on yeah

[@daveshen0880]

*Inuit, without letter S. Because the word Inuit is are plural word. Single = Inuk, which means person.

[@chairlesnicol672]

​@@daveshen0880OK! Instead of thanks, he's saying thank! Lol!!!

What would kid's do today without their Xbox or play station?without everyone helping out it would be very hard to survive. Most of AMERICAN'S wouldn't know how to survive if something would happen and we must go back to the ol way to live, how many knows how to can?butcher a animal?smoke some of the meat to last?don't forget you'll need a lot and i mean alot of wood to stay warm and cook. The thing is i believe in our lifetime we will have a situation come that we will need to survive with no computer's and no help from our government.Sure i maybe wrong but i doubt i am! Good luck to the none gun owners..GOD BLESS.

[@jfuckgarringer8475]

Really?? Disney music to accompany the slaughter of the whale? It isn't a Disney movie. It is the taking of a life. The Inuit have every right to hunt and kill the whale to feed their families...but don't play Disney music. Respect. It's about respect.
