Tuktu- 4- The Snow Palace (How to build a REAL Inuit igloo)
Alaska Extreme Store: www.redbubble.com/people/alas...
Learn about traditional Inuit culture from this fascinating series. This series documents cultural practices, skills, and values in Nunavut in northern Canada. Each episode focuses on a different topic, and does a good job of celebrating the skills and resourcefulness of the Inuit.
The territory of the Inuit (also called Eskimo, Inupiaq, Yupik, and other regional names) cover the northern and western regions of Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland. The Inuit continue to live in these areas and maintain many cultural traditions while also incorporating some modern technology into their culture as well. Inuit continue to have a deep respect and spiritual connection with the land and its resources.
The Tuktu documentary series was produced by the National Film Board of Canada between 1966 and 1968.

Alaska Extreme do you have films related to socio-human relationships (marriage, family decisions, childhood, family status ), from alaskan nomad?
These oldschool narrators had a magic in their voices
So true , I just got lost in the story .

Oh definitely!

,
Came to see an igloo being built stayed for the beautiful story
Same! I was like hm, show me how to build an igloo. Got so much more than what I was looking for!
ditto
I did the same my friends, not sure why, but i did enjoy the vid
Me too.
The window was a nice touch.
I love the ice window too!
U value?
It’s for light to enter
it was an ice touch
@@finn0729 very good finn 😁
These people are incredibly strong and intelligent. It amazes me how they managed to thrive in such a harsh environment for so long and yet seem content.
they thrived because at the end of the day the family unit was healthy.
If they were intelligent they would build ships and sail towards a more welcoming environment.
@@godless789 Why would they need to move when they survived and thrived where they were? They're intelligent because they stayed and lived it through the centuries! Someone like yourself wouldn't stand a chance
@@hvideos2832 they live like animals look at them
@@JutinSux the same one that they used to get there.
These folks get it, happiness is being surrounded by family and loved ones
Beautiful family in a well built home. They
Are so happy.
And dogs!
Not exactly their choice, where would they walk if they didn't want to?
@@asafaust8869 Yes. I am sure that they
I've had the privilege of working up north when I was in the army. The Inuit are amazing folks and they know the land. They never complain and love the land.
Inuk from Gjoa Haven. Big respect to you Chris!
thank u for your service sir ❤ and we know your a great human too like different people, thank u.
My father jackie napayok was a worker for the u.s. army up north in the dew li es.
igloos are the coolest architecture
wow pun intended 😝
Derrick Wade no
*Badum tsssss*
chavella minerva Derrick moved into his new igloo home last month! He’s currently just chilling😉
Wow that's pretty cool!
I'm overwhelmed by these beautiful people with so many skills of craftmenship.
popogast Me too. They truly are remarkable!!
you should see St Pauls cathedral. Its made of stone...
@Petri, how are those things "white" technology? Asians had rifles before europe and metalwork can be found all over the world. The Inuit didnt had the natural Ressources to Invent guns for example. But they are very skilled with the materials that have. Of course modern Technology makes their life easier but they managed to survive in harsh terrain up to this day and that is impressive
@@Thebonesoftrees And blood.
Cool
I love these types of programs. No drama, no BS.... REAL TALK.
Came for an igloo, instead found an absolutely fascinating culture of people.
You have to be strong, resilient, resourceful, imaginative and patient to exist in such an environment. The Inuit are an example to ALL humans - living in harmony with a tough and unforgiving world.
The narrator reminds me of these cartons I used to watch when I was a kid. The nostalgia is hitting hard rn bois
We build igloo in Poland as kids playing, takes a lot of work and cooperation . We had a lot of fun as kids in the cold playing!! It stayed for a week if no melt came. And we gathered there for a week or so. "So tomorrow at igloo"?? Yah ok see ya, we used to say in Polish!! Fun fun a lot of fun!!
Same in Slovakia...☺
fantastic write up. 09.05.21
Fantastic write up.
Tak. Wtedy były w Polsce prawdziwe zimy.
Poland!
Thank you to the people of Canada for giving the world the NFB. Truly a treasure of videos.
This style of Documentary brings me back to my childhood.
WOW! These First Nations people are strong, powerful, and very courageous. You can tell just how much love they have for each other. As a Native American a White Mountain Apache. My people lived a very hard life. They are hunters and gathers too. They would use everything from the game meat. They made arrows, clothing, medicines, cooking utensils, and wickiups. I can recognize some words. After all the hundreds of years that passed, we still have similar words. Thank you for the wonderful stories. This is awesome
Identify as Inuit. Only INUIT immigrated from Siberia. First Nations were here first, always have been. Many thousands years before Inuit (which why Inuit stayed out of treeline)
@@michaeljewell1064 yeah, don’t worry too much. I’m also an inuk and I don’t mind them making a mistake
“These guests of mine, make my house grand..” well said.
True ancient wisdom...today we are more worried about our posessions than our neighbours.
Love how they are always smiling and laughing when together
Every Moment of their life and effort is admirable
Abdul Basit France is better
702-SKATE ..... didn’t y’all like, not shower? And execute people? Also colonize like half the world?
@@woohooo7634 Are you trying to say the inuit took showers? or not kill people?
I saw this video back in the 70's at school, and have never forgotten it on how the igloo was made, fascinating.
you didnt get to see it properly in this build but the whole igloo is built in a spiral so each blocks locks all the blocks before it in ... and that many smaller igloos joined by the big one ... is a LONG project ... they had plenty of people to pull it off though ... may have taken them 3 hours maybe 4 in total to build the igloo complex ... the rest would have come after a meal and was getting ready for the night ...
We watched this series with Tuktu in school over 30 years ago
Same here. I think this one and the one about Japanese instrument I remember the most.
I am amazed that the baby doesn't have a shirt, and that the igloo had a window, and that some igloos were so big, and dogs will eat sleds, and that everyone seems so happy.
The banks don’t want you to know this, see how this man lives rent/mortgage free.
Inuit only builds when they are on hunt.
daveshen0880 ? No. We used igloos as both permanent and temporary dwellings
@@woohooo7634 you've personally lived in an igloo for an extended period of time? O: believe that...
Mickey McGowan Also, I’m Eskimo which is why I said “we”
@@woohooo7634 Never heard from an eskimo.. this is my first time reading a comment from an eskimo 🙂 most peace and silent community
No mortgage no debt. But home is ready. 😊
But your balls are crystallized and mortality rates from exposure and disease is much higher so yeah...
Karl Hanks what disease? all the diseases would be frozen surely 😂
@A B I agree although I've never lived in the wild and would probably instantly die lmao
@@karlhanks1967 there's no diseases there
@@karlhanks1967 skin clothes are probably the warmest on the planet
There's nothing better like Genuine Native history!
I had completely forgot about the igloo video and just got enamored with the story
Loved the narrator and the narration , it's really good to hear such beautiful stories in that voice!
The inuits are such hardworkers, it's actually inspiring watching them
*Inuit. There is no letter s in word inuit. Inuits is wrong.
I've never seen an ice window like that, very cool. Also, how badass is that mom helping to build the igloo with a child on her back?
Seriously! That window was so cute haha
I'm so glad to be native and apart of this wonderful culture
That's awesome 👍
And take into account, these people were pioneers, all that crossed the land bridge before them had taken the lands in the south and would hold them through war. So not wanting war they stayed in the north and used the skills they had along with those they adapted to on the long way there. Hunger was very real but they held onto their peaceful ways and worked as a community to survive. Having very little in material ways meant that they had an abundance of love and compassion for all creatures who lived in their environment. And no one has ever used "savages" to describe the Inuit people. They have always been anything but that. We can all take a lesson from their amazing culture.
I wonder, what made people to choose to live in such a harsh and inhospitable environment. What pushed them to go North instead of going South or maybe the Ice Age happened suddenly and they were forced to adapt to that kind of life. My respect for the Eskimo people. 👍👏
People came over the Bering Land Bridge in waves over thousands of years. The Inuit/Eskimo were the last group to come over the Bering Land Bridge from Asia, so most other places had already been inhabited for thousands of years. I assume this is why they stayed on the west coast of Alaska and inhabited the far north where there is no evidence of prior settlement. Yep, the Eskimo/Inuit are pretty tough and resilient people!
Alaska Extreme another interesting fact is that they look similar to Asian but not quite so mixed, so maybe they have the original appearance. I wonder if their language is the same? They drumb beat like native Americans.
@@thoushallbefree5387 like they said they where the last people to come over, so there genetics would look as similar as a couple thousand years does to a group of people. They are also, a type of the three main aboriginal groups in Canada; the first nations, Métis and Inuit. There are a lot of similarities between the 100+ aboriginal groups in North America as well as differences.
queenrocket baka I find that very interesting.
They used to be pushed away due to tribe wars, which kind of explains their unimpressive height. Moreover it's also easier to keep warm if your skin area is reduced compared to taller people living in the continental climate areas.
Tukti needs a Netflix rerelease or Blu-ray. I've been watching this all day it's fascinating.
Мне нравится всё: ваш снег, ваши необычные жилища, ваши простые, удивительные люди, ваши красивые, умные собаки, простой образ жизни.
I appreciate the series being shared. This is amazing. As I watch it, I wonder about the people in the videos, how did their lives manage after the turn of years? What of the children, are any of them still alive? What are their lives like now?
I did not expect to be so moved by the people in this video, literally just came here for the igloos.
Me neither... And now my downloads are filled with these documentaries
DOPEdude 909 That is awesome, glad to hear.
I have a deep respect for the Eskimo
Family, Food, and shelter. The 3 most important things in life
These old NFB films are pretty cool. -an integral part of my childhood.
Os verdadeiros donos do planeta, junto com as diversas tribos indígenas em todo o mundo (das florestas tropicais do Brasil aos desertos da Austrália) que ajudam, e preservam de forma verdadeira a biodiversidade, o meio ambiente e a cultura real de nossos antepassados. Uma joia rara esse vídeo. Parabéns aos envolvidos
This is marvelous footage... I was astonished that it was so well done and was not lost over time.
I watch this channel to help me sleep, it’s very relaxing
Having started watching this series I never cease to be amazed, absolutely AMAZED at these people! Seeing the igloo coming together, and I was remarking at the skill needed to place those top slabs of snow on the very, almost unsupported top. But then I was wondering what the lad was doing with the slab of ice, and when I saw him using it as a WINDOW I couldn't be more blown away!!! Absolutely INGENIUS people. And this series really shows the details of HOW they did all these remarkable things, where other series's fail to do so.
Love and respect to the Inuit people from a Pakistani.
i love old documentaries..
OMGoonies! That one guy used a piece of ice to make a window! That is frickin' sick!!
I admired the old ways the people of the land lived, would love to learn but to damn cold for me. More power to you the people of the land
thats a fact they are really on another level
Consider for a moment that the Inuit people are some of the most Badass people on earth. Nomadic survivalists much like the Mongols, moving and living free, facing the elements and even polar bears, and like the Mongols they were fierce warriors, even making suits of armor made of bone, and practicing tattooing. A incredible people.
It amazing to see how the Eskimos adapted so harmonious to their environment. Particularly, is theirs food choices and methods of consumption. Most of the meals are always strictly raw or mostly raw meats,
And yet no high cholesterol.
I bet you they smoke the meat 🍖
Well, that ended far faster than I was expecting! I guess I was super into it!
I watched this with amazement, gratitude, and awe but also with great sadness.
great sadness?
@Jack Snow and how no other races came to their rescue... Just sat around and watched..
@Jack Snow just human nature I guess... Sadly
@Jack Snow people are free to leave. Also you're so upset about Western culture but you don't have to participate you can get rid of your computer and cell phone and clothing and go back to being a hunter and gatherer somewhere.. you think Western culture is so evil but I promise you that human nature is the same with all people. The native Americans enslaved and fought wars with each other before anybody else came here.. black people used to own slaves. Every race on Earth has been enslaved. Every race commits war. So quit bashing on Western culture.
@Jack Snow not perfect but forgiven . Btw, the Western culture has done more to lift people out of poverty across the entire world than any other culture.. we teach people how to dig wella and grow food and set up electrical systems for lighting ... We are the first culture ON EARTH to declare slavery illegal
Holy crap I just noticed they put a window of clear ice in! Genius! I'd like to know about their medicine, if you heal slowly from an injury in such unrelenting cold?
if an animal gets hurt/crippled, his chances to die for many pssible reasons skyrocket... In that enviroment, the mindset of people should be the same. Even predators are VERY picky to when and how they attack weaker preys. They never risk anything.
Steve P .. bleeding times are longer when injured but they heal better when eating native foods like seal and caribou. Foods rich in omega 3 oils caused this. Trace amounts of omega 3 oil is in the meat of all mammals and caribou. Diet by eating proper nutrition is medicine. Sea water heals faster too. So food is medicine in many ways. Read Weston A Prices’s book: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Or go online and type Westonapricedotorg and lots of great info can be obtained for free. His written work is unparalleled in saving ones teeth and staying healthy. Price warned the Northern Canadian’s and Alaskan Eskimos of modern foods of commerce such as refined white flour & sugar products are detrimental to teeth and facial features of growing children. Warmth was attained by eating oily fish and sea mammals. All sea mammals are healthy by having trace amounts of omega 3 oil in it. It is a misnomer of high fat being unhealthy. Your body tells you when to stop eating it due to high fat content.
Had some medicines, plants collected in the summer. However, we did not have a broad range of medicine materials to select from... due to limited resources 😅 Fish/seal broth for cold. Example traditional way to free dog of its tapeworms infestation. Inuk man would cut a small circle piece of seal skin (with fat on the skin) then grab a handful of nice mother earth soil. Wrap the skin around the soul, shove it down dogs mouth (he'll swallow whether he likes it or not). To make this work, would have to take the dog for a very hard run after it consumes it. My dad tried this once, it works! The worms pop out, worms travel to the poops. Dog wouldn't be suffering no more of tapeworms 👍
I love watching videos like this. Really puts things in perspective wether that be time/era or lifestyle/culture 💯
This proves people can be happy anywhere
Wow that poem was great. It's good to feel genuinely welcome by your host, to know someone who takes true joy in your company.
Wonderful series, thank you. It makes me wonder what life was like before the advent of metal there, how the people boiled anything without metal pans or pottery, and only a small amount of driftwood.
Даааа!!!я бы не выжил в таких условиях.Вот она МУДРОСТЬ И БЕСТРАШИЕ.умение и изобретательность человека!
It just shows how little you need to be happy..with love and laughter the respect will join too..they don't need your Nobel Peace Prize..
It's really beautiful to see you willing to enjoy your daily life. I will see you well. I'm making a video of a traditional Korean singer, a designer from Samsung Electronics, and two men who came home and traveled and sing. So I saw and felt a lot, so I left a comment.
They showed these films in Jr high in Canada in the 70s I remember them.
Lovely.. liked very much
What is it that makes older films better.this one was lovely.
Thank you dad mom uncles aunties and grandparnts for all this knowledge pass on to your 5 great grandchildrens and so on with out your words be good great things happen god i still tear up
What i find fascinating is that these people are most likely old now. And the children in this video have grown up in their parents ways to this day.
Do you think people live in igloos in 2020?
@@MrBrownstainbear some probably
I would like to see how they make the cloths.
As would I
The men and women had already passed, and the children became old men and women.... But their story lives on. Falling in love with the series.
This makes our western lives look so wet. This is living in the pure raw elements of northern Canada and how happy they all look.
Good vintage film.
These are wonderful people who developed the skills necessary to live in such a harsh land. They also relied upon each other. A strong and capable people who were respectful of nature and took only what they needed, doing no damage to the earth. The children are all happy, as children should be.The adults are hard working and loving parents. These people were amazing.I wonder if there are any igloo makers left? I wonder if there are kayak makers left?? I wonder if there are still women who have such skill with the needle and can fashion warm and water proof clothing for their families?? Is there anyone left who can speak their original language? It is very sad to think their culture is dying or dead..
Terri Smith We still here. We got refrigerators and Internet.👍
Humans are ingenious! What clever snow homes they made.
Old is gold.
Impressive this is one of the Inuits greatest inventions along with Goggles
That's one sweet igloo!
Thank you. These are truly beautiful people.
This is such a cool story, I love storytelling like this
الحمدلله حمدآ كثيرآ طيبآ ملأ السماوات والأرض ❤️
Another amazing view of incredible people. How long ago was this filmed? What are their children's children doing?Does anyone keep the old lifestyle and crafts alive today? There are many many things I would like to know. I've just discovered this series and its all mesmerising. What a people , what a time and what a place.
Kind gentle people.. we can learn from them and their ways
and some folks say.... he's out there still. Beautiful story
This feels like i get more knowledge than actual school
This fascinated me as a kid, sitting on the Gym floor as the projector played
That was one of the most interesting things I have seen on KZhead in a long while.
They look incredibly healthy
fish oil contributes to this.
@@roysten5287 Yep I believe so, as well as all the high quality meat and fat they eat
@@napakamu9670 I agree with you
Отважные люди слава им слов нет
Did anyone notice the skylight he built into the igloo out of ice? The kids were tapping on it. Amazing!
Fascinating!
Maybe money will be useless in place like this.
It is very much useless. We go broke same hour. High cost of food prices all over Nunavut
@@jasonsubgut I was up north with the rangers and the prize of a basic thing like orange juice was $28 if I recall..... great people up there who are mind and proud.
If aliens ever visit earth millions of years from now, and all of humanity is long gone and the only remnants of our civilization was a dvd copy of a single youtube video, I would like it to be this one.
The hungry boy's story is a nice touch.
Since I can remember, unlike the majority of my family and friends winter and snow was my extreme joy and happiness.
Wonderful. I am liking this happy series in a very difficult time of Covid-19 as a nice escape. My sister who probably has it and has been ill for 3 weeks is reading old children's stories we read as children. These things are a comfort in hard times. This is an 1865 drawing of igloos - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igloo#/media/File:Igloos.jpg They are amazing. With a snow floor I thought they would be very cold but "On the outside, temperatures may be as low as −45 °C (−49 °F), but on the inside, the temperature may range from −7 to 16 °C (19 to 61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone." (wiki)
How's things now?
High IQ people. Building complex structures with very little.
they live in a wasteland dressed in skins, when this was filmed whites had walked on the moon. They are stone age hunter gatherers.
@@Thebonesoftrees walking on the moon got us where?? People dont even know what gender they are today. These people were articulate and precise with tools provided by nature they gathered with their hands. They dont work 40 hrs a week and they teach their children about the way of life they live every single day. Ya these people sound totally archaic and dumb...
I disagree with the racial stereotypes but I find it hilarious the people who are calling advanced civilization bad are doing it from computers and incredible technology. I also bet you love modern medicine and hospitals, cars, tvs, air conditioning, and carpet, antibiotics, etc. Get real.
@@andydressler6761 we just use these things we did not invented it, just a few other people did it for us. so saying just cuz we have access to technology we have higher iq then these inuit is just false and pure arrogance.
@@Jubafree I didnt say that we have higher iq and i would disagree with that statement. All im doing is criticizing those calling technology bad from their technology.
Amazing story, and great short movie
Thank you so much dear, Very great documentary I love you so much Inuit people
Is general Iroh has narrated this video?🗿
Вот эту я понимаю жизнь
Seeing how humanity can not only survive but thrive in harsh environments makes me so proud of our species
Much respect for these people!
