Tuktu- 6- Trials of Strength (Inuit Men's Indoor Games)
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 plans to publish a lot of new and original videos this year. What videos of Alaska and the Arctic would you like to see created? Let me know in the comments. This is a new channel. Please consider helping this channel grow by subscribing. Thanks for watching!
Alaska Extreme more on strength training and hard conditions
Alaska Extreme making a sod house with whale ribs perhaps, walrus skin tents, hunting ground squirrel
Why are films from The National Film Board of Canada on Alaska extreme channel? No way could this be anything other than an old old NFB film. I'd recognize the style anywhere. 🙂
More videos on the old way of life. These historical videos are inspiring to me and other like minds. My mind is just soaring about how life was and how I wish that these ways were not of the past.
@@mauricecyr2137 amen
This is quality of life. Togetherness, family, kinship, games, no secrets, no judging, no social media to isolate us and divide us.
That toddler running around nude in that environment is stronger than anything I’ve ever done. Ever.
I'm 73 years old it is precious thing that the way of our people has been recorded
Dale Bush I agree with you young man.
Some of these old ways should be rekindled I think. Mostly, the art of laughing sincerely.
@@The_Gallowglass these videos make me laugh sincerely, cry sincerely, Shit man these are amazing 😌
@@smellslikegrapes7813 The harder life is the more important the comedian is.
I feel so bad for the Inuit that's why I moved to Nunavut into a village when I first went there on the reservation I saw how truly disgusting the Canadian government treated these people the original owners of turtle Island yes the people are nice and yes they make good food when they have it but there's a sense of dread and guiltyness when I see the Inuit sad I feel like I'm responsible for this to any first naiton that is reading this from what ever tribe you are from I hope you forgive me as an intruder of your land I am sorry
Old ways of hard and simple living. A meal really does taste better when killed and cooked by your own hands. I have great respect for the old ways, and the people of then. Great rewards for the hard working, and dedicated
It is lovely to have these old films as they preserve the history in a way writings do not do so so easily.
my hope is for the Inuit to continue as they are
We've lived in houses for decades now
They don’t anymore unfortunately. Now they are the bottom of the social adder of their colonists. Poor, no jobs, high suicide rates, no purpose, governments assistance, lots of alcoholics. It’s sad what happened to them
@@mgm553 just a fraction of what we are. Clearly you only focused on that which you were willing to be open to
If it weren't for our ancestor's hardships, some of us wouldn't be here, our generation grew up differently, had I been born a decade earlier, I might have caught a glimpse of how they lived. I grew up in a warm house, I'm amazed how they survived the harshest cold.
I love how happy they are
Мудрость народа, нам наука... низкий поклон кинематографистам, которые сохранили нам это в записи
Как можно там выжить. Жуть какая-то. Бррр...
А дети в такой холод голенькие. Сопливые. Кашляют. Выживают ли?
@@user-sq8vs3wh6q мы вгородах неможем выжить , убеваем сами себея а они сохронили свои души ! привет всем !
They laugh so freely.
Reminds me of my childhood, no computer, no phone, no TV but lots of fun. We made our fishing rod, cooked the fish we caught picked fruit, mushrooms. Caught rabbits, raided nests and lived like kings. Worn shoes only to school and winter. Our parents worried only if we were out without telling after sunset. Thanks guys for reminding me how ancient I am.
where did you live?
Everything comes around. I played at creeks, picked berries and caught lizards as a child, too - I don't think I would have had the heart to kill a rabbit! Some ancients things are always somewhere deep in our minds, waiting.
@@Julia-lk8jn I think a throwing stick, slingshot or snare are better killing rabbits anyway.
Best times right there, kids these days will never know.
I'm watching this in Baja Mexico in 2022, first saw it in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in PCS school, the early 70s & never forgot it. Many thanks.
A very sturdy folk, the Inuit.
What an amazing structure they are in, how much fun with their games, the music was memorizing. Thank you for sharing, and thanks to those who filmed and thank you to the people who allowed themselves to be filmed!
interesting life style to see. my father was a policeman in labrador in 1947 and we have a picture of me standing on a snow bank wearing mukluks the eskimos made for me. my father liked them and called them lovely people. thank you.
your father must be a very nice person they gave you mukluks!
@@beyquma5468 yes thank you for commenting. he always spoke very highly of the people.
thank u awesome family ❤ and thanks for service to your pa
Wow! I love their beautiful jet black mop tops!
I like this documentary very much
Oh look my great great grandfather and my grandmother with her husband and my uncle. They were all so young. My uncle was just a baby. We are not from Alaska, we are from Nunavut Canada. It will show the same landscapes but with houses and buildings.
Thank you Tuktu
Love this movie feel better thanks again
I love the storry. It's great life. Simple but happy.
These films our great we our so lucky to get to see such
Gotta love English, so many variations of spelling, yet the sounding is the same. Makes it interesting to see.
i love the narration and sound track✅☮️❤️👍✌️😎
Thank you very much, it was great, I love you, Inuit people 🥰🙏🌺🧿💚
It is a good life to fight the nature of the world🌏Thank you to owner Video & KZhead👏👍😃😍
May God bless these people..
The last thing they need is your mythical god crap
@@DinorwicSongwriter John 3.16
They are very enjoy.I love them and want to see them.
Love the narrator i wanna live as you watch
Wspaniali cudowni ludzie.
Thumbs up!
I love those games, that those igloos are strong enough to hold those ropes at 4:00 for acrobatics. 4:30 looks like the most manly game _ever_: let's hit each other, last one to decide that he's got enough bruises now wins! At the same time: the cutting from the "games" to hunting, fishing, building is a nice unspoken comment.
metal gear solid always did teach me about the ear pulling contest
Jees tho its always cold. They really get happy when it gets to 34 degrees. Thats warm for the inuit.
Helo! From Viet Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳❤❤
Szivesen nézem és érdekes tanulságos minden eggyes része de elszomorító nagyon nehéz az ő sorsuk, világa , a hideg , a fagyos nyers hús az élelem szerzés stb többet érdemelnének minden földi halandó embernél .Békében szeretetben megértésben élnek és éljenek amíg a világ létezik
These should been Olympic games.
Long cold winters with no TV or video games.
Definitely didn't learn this in school
Wishing I was there people
I wish I was the film recorder here ;)
How do they shower?...always wondered that?
I would love to meet them and i would give up everything i have now just for a chance to live with them till i pass away
Nothing stopping you from moving to a remote northern camp. Is there?
دوست داشتنی ومهربان هستند وذره ای دشمنی بین انها وقبیله شان وجود نداره،سخت زندگی میکنند ولی پر از هیجان وشادی اند
كلك سحبتكه خوش بو ...
Yay
Jarrshammmm ❤
Bahagia itu sederhana

Every aspect of their lives was about the seal.
Pongalo en español toda el documental
Blood is thicker than water
7:30 Lil time stamp for my self
there is another documentary on VHS that I used to watch when I was a child and it was called land of the midnight sun. I look for it on KZhead and Google but can't find it. I think it was about the Inuit In north baffin region like pond inlet or arctic bay. hopefully you can help Edit: I found it. It is titled "land of the long day". On KZhead
I remember that show
A pure and simple people. No room for politics or feminazi lies. No room for corrupt government or tyranny. I don't know that modern society and its comforts are worth what we pay in morals and the loss of self.
That's right
they are not simple...just human actually i think the games they play maybe no different than our games in the virtual world...no more primitive than some of our entertainment
I love to play
Does anyone know the burial practices of the Inuit? What did they do with their dead?
We gave our dead every day tools and placed rocks over them. It also important to not hold out a knife because it was believed that the soul could be stabbed. No one was allowed to hunt hares (for a few weeks) they are believed to be the person visiting
Вот это даа жеесть
@2:08... hey, ice fisherman ... check this out
erixonline nah!
AMAZING TO AL MASHALLAH
Why is this on "Alaska extreme", when it's from the National Film Board of Canada?
Because the Canadians have done a great job documenting a great deal of material like this. There isn't much difference between us Alaskan natives and Canadian Natives.
@@TemplesLongtailsandFurs Yes, it is lovely to see and okay they are in Canada not Alaska but it will be a reasonable presentation of life there because we British cut these places up between USA and Canada etc.
If you watch to the end, the credits show the film was by Educational Services Inc., U.S.A. for the National Science Foundation (I believe this means the U.S. NSF). It is however, of the Netsilik Inuit of North Eastern Canada, but as mentioned, the Inuit and other natives across the northern part of North America would have lived very similar lifestyles. So it applies to Inuit in Alaska as well.
nature will not give her gifts to the weak. nice
How does one join their ranks or are they all cousins by now?
Hi nephew!🖐🏽
No centralized governance. Simply Inuit or "the people" nomadic over vast territory.
7.47 i like crazy people
MashAllah very nice people Alhamdo Allah bless them
Keep your delusion private
There is no allah.
@Celine Eid there is no allah. Only Jesus.
There are no gods.

Just bros, being bros...
The naked infants always take me by surprise. Making clothes for them was probably unnecessary and a poor use of skins but man, to be a child up north must have been chilly at the very least.
Yowza.
Watching this video makes me wanna eat lasagna!
It looks so cold but the young are always naked how do they not feel cold I dont get it
And not a drop of alcohol. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing. Probably good though.
Eskimo kaya orang asia fisik nya...
8:24 I am...not familiar with this game
It's called the "ear pull" as i remember it. Imaginative name i know. If you don't set the string right, it will scrape the ear and leave it red. Better to deal with a bit of pain by setting it and pulling than to let it slide off
It's just to see who has strong ear. Fun and games.
They didn't have means and ingredients to produce alcohol, didn't they?
They had berries, but there isn't evidence that they were traditionally fermented for alcohol, although I have seen wild blueberry liqueur in the Yupik eskimo region, which is delicious btw, but this isn't a traditional food. Some do, however, continue to ferment meat as a way to preserve it. Fish heads and seal flippers (and other things in different places) are fermented, but it doesn't produce alcohol in the process since meat doesn't have sugar.
Thank God for that. Otherwise they would have gone extinct a long time ago.
We ferment walrus, close enough? Lol
While the men play the seal gets away. No bearded seal for you, tuk to.
They have good hairs, no bald head I saw in there, maybe this is because they don't bath?
Herry Fishmen that time they have a house home their just actress
Nature's way of keeping their brains warm.
Let's stand in a circle jab pointie sticks at each other at eye level
If you have no hand eye coordination, yes. They are precise and using developed skills. Don't try this at home lad.
Never too poor to tour
🥵🥵💕💕❤️❤️
Nu cười
Trip no acohol
I would not last a week 😅😮
there s probably no ice left where this was filmed
We get summer and spring all other seasons too, it isn't completely frozen
@@goshdarnitman ok..thankyou my brother. i ve always been fascinared with the inuit and their tough adaptability. is the seal hunting technique Tuktu employs still in use??
Yes! Not everyone still hunts the old way, few still do. We hunt with many new things but still use old ways and tools when we're able
You called that a beautiful land
5.28 karate. they came from japan.
حياتهم هادئة
is it me or do they ALL look like Manny Pacquiao?
😂🤣😂
Manny look like us 😂
Home sick.
Пожалуйста переведите на русском
Gonna be honest I don’t think any of them can take on a bear as claimed
"Nvr judge a book by its cover"😉
Nobody can, but read or watch on Kootoo Shaw. Nice guy!
Thanks for being honest about your thoughts
How do you suppose they got those bear skins?
Does anyone shower ever ?
no
Oh ok
Some goofy ass fights they got over there
a bunch of women standing around in a circle jabbing sharp pointy sticks at each other at eye level …..what could possibly go wrong haha The safety Nazis of today are probally freakin out
