This short documentary film (1949) shows us the traditional Inuit (aka. Eskimo) way of life in Northwestern Alaska.
The Eskimo are the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland.
The two main peoples known as "Eskimo" are: the Inuit of Canada, Northern Alaska (sub-group "Inupiat"), and Greenland, and the Yupik of eastern Siberia and Alaska. A third northern group, the Aleut, is closely related to the Eskimo. They share a relatively recent, common ("Paleo-Eskimo") ancestor, and a language group (Eskimo-Aleut).
Alaskans also use the term Alaska Native, which is inclusive of all Eskimo, Aleut and Native American people of Alaska. It does not apply to Inuit or Yupik people originating outside the state.

Please change the video title because E****o is now considered offensive by many. Please ask some of the Native Alaskan youtubers or instagrammers what the appropriate name is. These people shown here may be Inuit or another people. Thankyou ❤

@@mothball5425 😂 don't worry they're currently hunting Eskimos so we won't have to worry about them much longer.
This is a fantastic film revealing the problems of living in those cold areas. I admire those people for their endurance in those circumstances.
I`m honored, because it is the first one for me to receive. These people are modern day heroes.

Angelic smile of young daughter is so beutiful and soul-touching.

You're welcome.

This is awesome, keep the tradition alive. Alot of folks forget the bitterness of being in a state of survival, and I reckon thats why lots of folks go soft, too soft. They soon forget how to be dependent on themselves and become heavily dependent on everyone else. Its got its pros and cons I guess. I perfer a rough it life out country and depend primarily on my own wits then have to live under constant heavy regulated suburb or city. Oh how I miss the country side. At the sametime being around good people in large groups is healthy to.Thanku for the post.
Amazing documentary, especially considering how old it is.
Very interesting mini-documentary. Thought it was quite beautiful to see a bit of history from a simpler, but more work-oriented POV. I think society today could take a lesson from this film and focus on getting back to a time where one took what they needed from nature only to survive, not to exploit or for profit.
Iniupiks speak inupiat and Inuits speak Inuktituk...Iniupiks live from Tuktoyaktuk in Canada at the mouth of the Mackenzie river then west on the north slope. Inuits live east everywhere north of the tree line. Both use kayaks and igloos but dress very differently and live differently
Thanks for posting this amazing film.
The natives always respect the land and the food they catch.
Not all of them, especially the young guys nowadays. Heck even the older guys as well, You have them taking walrus on the coast for the tusks and leaving the rest behind to make tuff out of them to sell to tourists, then inland you have a situation where caribou antlers are worth more than the meat with a Korean market for them, so caribou are now seen as money rather than meat and are harvested mainly for the antlers to sell for cash to the Koreans.
If only that were true
Total fantasy land.
Absolutely fascinating.....the accuracy of father throwing out the hook is amazing....thank you for this....
My father , his siblings (Jerry T. ) & parents was from Point Hope. I miss them all very much.😢
Wow, that's probably one of the most entertaining, and informational documentary I have watched. Best regards! You have earned a subscriber for uploading this content!
I'm always fascinated and awestruck by the strength and beauty of these people.
Gosh Im going to show this vid to my husband and my kids....They will surely appreciate what they have .
Amazing!! my respects to Eskimos, one of the most talented people in this world!
+Sarah Peace Peace Hi! Can I ask you a few ignorant questions? Eskimo people are from exactly where, I mean geographically? I thought that Eskimo people are mainly from a certain part of Alaska, however, a lot of comments from youtube or news articles referred Eskimo as the people who are from the northern region, the arctic circle. If you have time, can you give me a brief explanation of the terminology, Eskimo people Thanks.
Ben TheKeeshond eskimos aren’t real lmao XD. Its a slang for mainly native alaskans, which are made up of multiple different groups. Eskimo just means “eaters of raw meat”, an insult to the native Americans, just like calling people Indian
Dubwubz that is all completely false. Indian is a preferred term form many natives and Eskimo means “one who laced snowshoes” and has never been offensive.
This video is extremely interesting and a very good example of 1949 Inuit living. What would make it better is a companion film on Inuit life 2015 and see how much mans intervention in their lives by well meaning people has affected them.
Exactly.
+Teabone Bones we still hunt. we just have better guns & vehicles.
+32deej Is it a good life for all that live there?
Teabone Bones sure is. just gets better and better
not so much the mukluks (boots) anymore but we still wear our parkas, beavers hats, gloves, atikluks (like a summer jacket (uh-tick-look)
That's cool that they had a educational film like this! Thanks for uploading!
You are welcome Humpahna! :)
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on u tube. thankyou!
Makes me feel proud to see how the older timers got stuff done. awesome video!
I love films of family living off nature with the help of some animals. I love the respect shown by this people to wildlife and how they use them only to subsist but not to abuse them. I believe this is how God really wants us to live, one and in harmony with His creation! Thanks for sharing this film.
You are welcome Randolf! :)
:)
3.44 smile on that face that's great. ...even i can't imagine how can i survive in such cold conditions. It's very nice documentry
The Best Film Archives 1949, so it was before Alaska joined the Union. What a lovely historical documentary. Thank you for uploading it. It is a jewel. I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work. KZhead watchers need people like you.
Great video, thanks a lot.
You are welcome, Eric.
Very educative film, thanks!!!
You are welcome
Beautiful movie. Terrific work. Congrtulations to the makers. This is mind blowing. Will show this to my students.
I'm watching this because I couldn't understand the class lecture. And tomorrow is our exam. From India🇮🇳 really love the documentary
Thank you for this wonderful video, LOVED it. I research Inuit and other cultures and make replicas of their tools, weapons, and other items, my way of honoring them. I have to say, the inside of that home looked so cozy and warm, makes me wish I could be there. Nice warm woodstove blazing in the corner, nice. I'd love to have lived a simple life like that, no stinkin' technology like cellphones (don't own one) and computers in everything. Preservatives in our garbage, er um food.
You are welcome MrRugercat45 ! :)
A great watch! Thank you

thanks so much very interesting and informative documentary video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Everyone, including the children, play a vital role. Beautiful people!
I have been there.... it's a very unique and awesome experience
i cant hold my tears watching this beautiful film.how people survive this kind of environment..alhamdullilah..
Thank you fer the share.
10:30 ...."when winter nears.....". the whole beginning was the summer? Yikes! I can't imaging how cold it is there. It is in the 30's and drizzling at my home right now and I am huddled under 3 blankets with the heater going. These folks are pretty tough.
Ha ha I drank champagne on new years eve in my tshirt outside when it was -47 c I have to drink crazy amounts of tea in winter to get awakened, some week ago the sun returned to the sky
What an amazing admirable group of people.
Highly enjoyable. Humbling
I have nothing but respect for that kind of life they love each other they work together as a family and they are so old school what a lovely document .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I will be watching more documents very educational.
I’m just amazed how these people survived in the climate. Respect!
Oh dad was mad good with that throw line getting his game out of the ocean
I love this film.
thanks .. great
Very lovely family.
Very interesting, thanks
My Gosh!! What a shot and throwing the lasso!! Amazing! Never say never
agreed I use a method like that to put a rope high in a tree and its quite difficult to get a precise shot.
Thankyou for wonderful film.The life on our mother earth is totally different in various parts.I ,living on other part of the earth ,enjoying very good weather variety of food ,comfortable home & many comforts,cant stop the tears ,watching little ones go through such hardship. How about their education?How do you feed & what you feed the dogs ?--SUNANDA KARNIK
You are welcome Pulin Karnik! :)
Pulin Karnik No education beats the education of survival in nature. When I see a three year old from New Guinea cutting up a coconut, I think to myself he is far more skilled than a banker or a hair dresser, who only know how to shop at the grocery store.
5 plus stars for 1949 realism and much similar to today.
So interesting
Respect this father! He had to run such a long distance on snowy grounds and so that his son could enjoy the ride. What a noble man, what a sacrifice!
It's called keeping warm by exercising.
Thank you for wonderful film..
What a life, I would like to live in a village in Alaska... loved it
Increible que adaptación a las terribles condiciones de la naturaleza un ejemplo de vida.
These are my people... Inupiaq Eskimo .. Born n raised... Sad to know our food is now being polluted by radiation from the power plant incident in all the way in japan..
sadly this is very true..diabetes is a major problem..i will probably end up with diabetes...thats how bad it is...just to clarify.. never said anything about it effecting our food supply... just that our food is being contaminated...with radiation...when i last checked that was not good...
Oh dear, its so sad. 😢
I have always loved wilderness as long as i remember!
Beatiful film congratulec tion
Awesome. What a difference in a life style.
WOW, WONDERFUL
July 2020 and i’m watchin this. Anyone else in 2020?
I'm With You My Friend👋🏾💯
Loved it *thumbs up*
Thank You!
KM Yang - Finally, a comment that is on-topic! Thanks for posting this fascinating old doc, BEST Film!
You are welcome ***** ! Thank you for watching my uploadings! :)
Today it is 2018, and I saw some people on the internet arguing about which bathroom to use. We didn't inherit the spirit and willpower of our elders.
Simply Wonderful :) x
no its not this stuff is bad no matter what animal it is these people r sick and they need to be stopped
you need to learn facts in school before you make silly statements on here Amber, without killing animals to eat in the past non of us would be alive today. Duh!!
I wonder if this girl is still alive out there. Great and interesting short documentary film
I was thinking the same. If so, she'd be in her 80's now.
awesome film.....

Canadian Prepper hunting animals aims
loved it
Amazing people! Big respect!😀
Simple and most harmony life no pollution. over all good situation.
Nice film
Wonderful people those days.
The Inuit look just like Mongolians :) I know plains Indians have problems with being compared to Mongolians, but the Inuits are definitely our ancient brothers across the Bering Strait, the proof is in the pudding.
Inuit came from Mongolians lol
The Inuit are related to people like Koryaks, Itelmens, and Chukchi. ^_^
Купрат Хирешев Mongolians are also related to Koryaks and Chukchi. I don't know who the Itelmens are.
***** The Itelmens are Paleosiberian like the Chukchi and Koryaks. The connection between the Mongols and the Paleosiberians is distant.
They're all related
really nice video....
Amazing to see how eskimo people lived back in those years. great piece of history
Very nice video. All my doubts are clear. Great salute to Eskimos people living in very severe condition.The father was very energetic and taking perfect care to his family members.
Best video ever saw
Thank you for this film. It was very interesting. I don't know how they fish or hunt in the pitch dark for six months out of every year and manage to keep a team of dogs fed. I certainly have respect for a people that has managed to live in such inhospitable surrounding for so many thousands of years. They are pretty remarkable. I'd love to see any films on their arts and artifacts. Do they follow any inherited religion? Thanks, again.
+West Winds I believe that during the winter months although the sun does not rise, there is twilight in the form of zodiacal lighting, as the sun is below the horizon but near enough for it's light to still reach the land. I think they have their own indigenous religion.
Thank you for this information, gorman. I've never been to Alaska or anyplace so far north to have ever heard this. As for their indigenous religion, are there any articles on what they believe or how their belief system is practiced? I find these people fascinating. Thanks again.
West Winds I think Wikipedia is probably a good starting point, it has extensive articles about their mythology, shamanism, and religion. I'm not too knowledgable myself, but I'm very interested in cultures that grew out of such extreme environments!
gorman Thank you for this information. I will check into it. I, too, am always very interested in different cultures of the world (and I love "World Music" which most people don't even realize exists.) I have been interested in Tundra Nomadics for quite some time now. I agree with you; any group that can survive such extreme conditions is certainly a point of interest. I read one genetic report online that said the Inuit are not related to the Siberian Mongols; which I always assumed they were. I hope a lot more study will be done on these people so more information will become available. It seems to me that currently a lot of the North American tribes people are now coming forward and are more willing to share their cultures with people of European descent. I'm glad to know they don't feel so hostile to all people of European descent because not everyone wishes them ill. To me, they are our living cultural treasures and links to the history and past of mankind. This makes them unique and rare treasures like the treasures of the Valley of the Kings.
+West Winds it's not quite "pitch" dark like a closet . you can see your hand in front or your face.
Useful for my lesson
it was great.it's everyone's question,how Eskimo living in that situation.short and effective film to answer that question.thanks
Revealing their life. Very amazing. Thank you 🙏
More plz.

Magnifique document , le passage à 19,12 mn des chants et danses est fabuleux
