these people have a spiritual connection to the land and sea that most will never understand...

I live in the South of the United States and I have been watching the Raindeer Nomatic People and even though I can only make a contact with these lovely people it seems I have become related to them. Now I am part of you dear people. So strong. So resilient, compassionate, and loving to those they live with in their villages. I wish it were more like that here. Thank you all for sharing a small amount of yourselves with those of us who really care. I just wish I could help in all of you in some way!The people who live on the Tundra are some of the very strongest people I have ever seen! It's such a raw way to live. They stay 4 days then disassemble their homes. The women are so remarkable in the daily chores. I'm amazed!So much snow. Having to make the clothes from skins cook, give birth chop wood bring it in the Chums cut frozen meat with an ax. Bring in snow to melt to cook. AMAZING PEOPLE!

[@mushtaqahmad3129]

Masha Allah very nice video thank so much

[@emmasowa7744]

so strong and resillient Such an amazing culture!

[@dennisconroy3459]

I have watched a Documentary of the Inuit people of Canada, I support your way of hunting the Seals .Yous do not have a wide range of obtaining food, and clothing, like the people in the Western Corporate world. I just like to say keep strong and take no notice of the Western world complaints..

[@cv5369]

Yet they depend on those evil western planes and Canadian government to deliver them goods into remote locations

[@daveshen0880]

Actually inuit people is wrong. Because the word Inuit means people.

[@narsinghrai4497]

Bitter truth, indigenous people are losing their own culture, language, freedom and yes obviously their land across the globe. So sad.

[@ParttimePilgrim]

i know!! So sad how they are slaughtering the reindeer herds in huge slaughterhouses. 🥲 Damn wicked people and governments.

[@jimyardon5262]

It’s not a hunting habit, it’s survival

[@Bhiladpy-up9uy]

Do you see how wide their skulls are compared to the modern day people, it was extremely wide and healthy. Wide is a good sign of looks and attraction. You are what you eat.

[@adkviking69shofner98]

Interesting about the seal liver causes a internalized heating ,and also how he knows its because they have evolved in that way as a people

[@garyteague4480]

I heard that polar bear liver makes you sick too

[@tomoko7584]

this is how they lived and this is how they will continue to do so ❤️ if you are angry then take a look at all the resources and food options you have, its scarce up there. And if you’re still upset just know that seals are plenty in this area, though they shouldn’t need a reason or explanation because their environmental footprint is nothing compared to large poachers

[@International_Cartoons]

Thanks for sharing. I love it when he says at 13:14 that he has no need for fruits and vegetables. The inuit have been living without them for thousands of years just fine. There goes your vitamins and minerals and nutrients myths. Up for a career as a dietitian anyone?

[@MrTeenStyle]

yeah, let's give up on eating vegetables and fruits and grains and everything. let's just eat caribou meat and salmon for a few centuries

[@azealiabanksstan4eva234]

The only reason they can eat only meat and not be malnourished is because they’re eating ALL the organs and flesh which contains nutrients plants provide, but I don’t think you want to eat some seal intestine or do you?

[@johnmalabanan3711]

B B iwill

[@MrTeenStyle]

good luck finding caribou meat and salmon year round. that climate is a paradise for those who inhabit it, not for trend hungry people who would forsake the vegetation of the northern hemisphere. eat deer if you have such a steady blood lust. smh.

[@waynemyers2469]

Sometimes when I look at these handsome people I'm momentarily overcome with a kind of vertigo but not from fear of falling or the terror that grips you when standing upon a high place but , instead, it's exhilaration and the thrill of time carrying you along in it's grip, racing back ten or twelve thousand years or more, back to the days when people who looked very much like these people look journeyed from Asia into this new land and began a trek all the way to the opposing shore, (California) 3,177.4 miles away and eventually down and through the nation we call Mexico all the way to the tip of South America and encompassing all the roads, Temples and Pyramids of the Aztecs, the Inca, the Olmec, the Zapotec and the Mayan Empires. I know current research throws many of the theories that I grew up with into doubt and a whole new school of inquiry was born that favored the ocean-going hypothesis and possible connections to Polynesia or Africa or even Phoenicia but my vision of a people who left a distant land, pushed through ice and mountains and frigid rivers to an unknown Eden of forests and mountains and limitless plains and deserts and then continued through another wilderness of heat and jungles and granite mountains until, finally, they had advanced as far as they could go and so, stood on the shore or on a high-place or on a flat-topped Pyramid waiting for the Devil to arrive...but this old, possibly antiquated theory is equally as beautiful and exciting. I realize that all the above constitutes a semi-historical, fully romantic and shamefully collapsed narrative so simplistic I can relate in a paragraph but it seems so damned appealing and graceful, a theory or string of theories that Occam would appreciate and one that, well, like I said, gives me that pleasant tickle in my gut and itch in my feet that leaves me wishing I'd been with them, in spirit at least, as they embarked upon their great adventure. Plus I love their dogs.

"Land is our mother, we eat from it. Therefore nobody owns it. Our elders still believe that. They look at the land that everybody should share, that nobody should own it. It belongs to everybody." ---------‐---------‐---------------------- Then along came the white man who claimed every square mile and every single thing as his! He then put fences all over the place to keep others out! The white man, the newest arrival to the lands of the Natives, claims everything as his! And he even has the audacity to tell the Natives to get out of his land! Go figure!

[@TheBold1994]

Not to mention the white man also forbids them to hunt their own food while they exploit the land and drive the animals to extinction 🤦

[@myrnawashington9057]

[@bobs6129]

The thing is these cultures don't disappear because of that they disappear because they want modern things like others. Go look all over the world nobody wants to live that way cuz it's hard

[@booglegoo6526]

I read some time ago about one Inuit man refusing to buy a snowmobile because he could not eat a carburetor.

[@Bhiladpy-up9uy]

The guy, was like hardly any meat and yet we feed these people processed crap that’ll kill them. They ate naturally

[@criticalmass6249]

Thats not true, the land and animals will not always be there unless WE continue to live in balance and respect with Nature. Keep Nature, Roots, and Culture, Alive and Thriving.

[@lenasayers7086]

this documentary was produced 40 years ago. we believed life would always be here and did not expect the land to be exploited for oil, gasoline, etc. all for their combustion engines and plastic 'garbage'

If only Franklins expedition would have known these skills, they wouldn’t have eaten each other.😬

Sealing is now commercialized and a profit vs sealing for survival cloths food and trade . Whaling is the same modern day tribes fight to continue whaling traditions while they hop in there cars modern day homes eat modern day food and wear modern day cloths.(not all there are still those who do so of survival and for there tribes as a whole ) being a native and my daughter raised new age culture an goes to native school

The way of life they had for 1000 of years was change. I don't know why they put up with it instead of putting up a fight. It's like they just cave in and gave up their culture so easily. They're definitely not fighters for their future generations.

inuit are not warlike, but peaceful cultures
