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.

I am from Nunavut, And ittimungnak ( man in movie ) was my fathers close cousin, the boy in the video is a man I was privileged to know as a child. We still hunt in this fashion,I now catch my fish in nets and have a close tie to the land, my eldest aunt is in her last days and with her goes a multitude of knowledge that is irreplaceable and unaccounted. We.battle a daily fight of balancing traditional knowledge with technology and all the ups and downs that come along with a capitalistic nature. We are struggling to find footing in a world that holds no currency for kindness and respect, I love reading all these comments, The Inuit are a beautiful people and it hurts to see my people disappear in front of my children's eyes. Much love and respect to you all... Brian Tagalik, Inuit Success Lead Baffinland iron Mines.
Your culture was so amazing and sweet family
this comment made me tear up a bit, so much respect for you and your people please continue to keep your traditions they are beautiful and we need them as an example for what true community and human spirit is
@@odd_familiar could not agree with more, fantastic film.
respect....
Love respect from me ...
This documentary took place in Kugarruk, Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic. The children you see are now grandparents. I grew up not far from Kugarruk in a Inuit settlement called Gjoa Haven. I have the utmost respect for my late mom & grandparents who lived this life, the hard traditional way. Sadly there are very few unilingual Inuit left, this is the last generation of an ancient culture that has died & it breaks my heart. They were very tough mentally & physically, much respect to my ancestors for I could never live such a tough & unforgiving life ❤
Sound great
Are you serious? Amazing!
Hi Sharon. I have the utmost respect for you and anybody else who grew up in Gjoa Haven. Do people there still practice throat singing? Many thx.
@@eqlzr2 thank you. And yes, you can find 2 young women in Gjoa Haven who throat sing. KZhead: Kathy Keknek & Janet Aglukkaq
@@sharondwyer8513 Great! I've watched Kathy and Janet dozens of times on YT. Beats the heck out of any rap music I ever heard! ;-) When I was a little kid in the midwestern US (Iowa), I used to write the Canadian government to get their free literature about the North country. Always looked like Heaven to me compared to my old crappy (I thought) smalltown home.
“Shooting was too good for that bear . . . .” Mad respect for a hunter who killed a bear with nothing more than a knife and raw courage.
Even more BadAss if it were a Bone Knife.
You can see how Tuktus dad truly love him. He’s one lucky kid to experience such warmth love in the coldest place on earth.
True hunters feeding their family. These were true woods men, survived by what they knew. Thanks for sharing these videos
If you like this look up australian aboriginals there older then them and some tribes in canda have there dna
This is a wonderful lesson for everyone to watch and learn. When I was small boy I learned hunting and fishing skills from my own father and the memories are still vivid today. Thanks for sharing!
We across the world are losing the ways of the previous generations.These historical film materials are treasures beyond the way we actually grasp as to the people who actually make or had the foresight to made these.I salute respectfully.
Yes new videos please. Love watching living off the grid in Alaska
I always admire these people . They were really great hunters .
Australian aboriginals were the frist even some tribes in canda and the Amazon have Australian aboriginal dna
Super cool ! Don't make 'em like they used to . Love these old documenteries ! Thank you !
They seem to use just the exact required energy for their task.The movements are really relaxed,amazing
The cold does that to you, I started living in my van this canadian winter and my body got used to the Temps of -15. I'm fine in a t shirt at 0 degrees now. I feel an aura of heat radiating around my body. If I move too much and too often I have to eat more to stay warm.
@@armwrestlinginthe6ix It doesn’t last, though. I had the same thing when I was working outside in North Dakota several hard winters………had a few mild ones, and an easier work life for the last several years, and am pretty wimpy on a cold morning, now!
@@leidersammlung6955 I agree.. it definitely doesn't last! Hope I get a place to live by the winter...thanks for sharing the inspiring story
@@armwrestlinginthe6ix Things are going well here in the Western USA. There is much building going on in MT , especially. If you can “swing a hammer” have any building, or carpentry experience, Eureka, Columbia falls, Libby, and Kalispel are booming.
i love this series and recommend it to the kids' teachers. Thank you.
This is the closest thing to a time machine there is . Watching people exist the same way they have for centuries. I know these are old films and things have changed since their making but I'm still jealous of Tuktu none the less .
I absolutely love these videos. Makes me emotional,I don't know why.
The fur and skin parkas are fantastic! I bet they are just the thing in the cold and snow. A people perfectly in tune with their environment!
Spear fisherman is pretty badass! I have done that before and it's much harder to do than he makes it look! Obviously, he is highly experienced! Bless him, his family, and his people!
Awesome Video, I bet there is not many families left that live this way, much respect 👊🏼👍🏼
That was beautiful!
Does this stir up feelings of sadness in anyone else who’s watching this? It is a time and way of life that’s lost forever and can never come back.
The present becomes the past.
I simply love this series. I’ve watched a couple times now.
😘😘😘😘😘
Amazing Story's love these ...We all need Knowledge.....Thanks for Sharing..
Thank you for sharing this awesome cultural experience. What a beautiful people. A very sweet peek at a basic grateful instinct with ingenuity life.
I love it. A Native American (Navajo) myself, it’s awesome to see stuff like this. Where I’m at is the opposite landscape. In a dry hot environment, we do things a bit different but we have the same mindset, SURVIVING.
You guys are not brave, ya didn’t fight against the wow man brave enough for your lands, hi from a proud Mexican with Aztec blood 🇲🇽 🩸
@@saulflores8095 okay proud Mexican. Go be proud somewhere else
Smiling faces, just great. Master fisherman/ hunters.Beautiful people.
No matter how old i get, i love stories especially with such narration voice and that nostalgic music
We must respect their culture and tradition...Beautiful documentary...love from BHUTAN
AWESOME! thanks for sharing. keep up the great work!
Thank you for uploaning this. I remember watching these videos when I was young
Really enjoy watching and learning from theese videos. Survival at its best. Wish everybody a " Merry Christmas and Happy New Year " .
What a beautiful way to live. Reminds me of 60s and the sugar farm I lived on. No snow but rich green vegetation and unpolluted rivers to fish.
something about living a more primitive less drama filled life is so attractive to me, what a nice short film thanks!
DrinkEnemyBlood It is to us all, because we’re used having that lifestyle for thousands of years. Modern civilization with all its advancements and societal changes is something very new.
it is beautiful to see the way they did it in the old days !!!!!!!!
Legendary skills....Strong, Kind , Lovely, Beautifull people.
@mtman2 yes I agree. Too bad we no longer value this type of honest life.
That was awesome. Thanks
So happy to have stumbled on these..!
almost can't believe my eyes. the precision and understanding of the fishes behavior is next level.
this is just beautiful, thank you for sharing this magic videos, greetings from Perú.
Not click bait. Guy has serious spear skills
That and the fact his father gutted a bear alive that was robbing there store house talk about badass

Love learning how different tribes around the world use to live or still live.
Anyone else find this hilarious? Love that "ode to fish" the guys says. Classic.
I live in Northwest Territories Canada, not too far from Inuit people, this is still practice and the fish Char can still be caught by fishing hooks or fishing traps or spear, not much but the still exist. Some Inuit people goes to our town to get medical check up (2 hrs airplane) and they bring Char and sell it to us for $20- 35 depending on the size, CHAR taste like salmon, looks like salmon and pink like salmon, very delicious and so fresh!
Thats amazing... Im extremely jealous...here in America we can't live off the land they've made it illegal basically because you have to pay to do it wich means you need a job wich means you wouldn't be living off the land ... Ive been preparing for the last two years to do this an after this winter i will be living off the land illegally and hopefully i won't get caught... they could literally put me in prison for trying to feed myself just because i didn't pay them to do so
@arfirv chodury whats that have to do with anything i said?
No one say inuit people. Because the inuit means people.
That was so educative, people born in such area enduring adversity without complains...
tfcctre66i9ijb n
Thank you. Very pleasing. I can see why some want to go back to the way it use to be. Sad that time changes things.
What a wonderful knowledge and skills they have sporting the fish and hunt the animals.! They are not greedy but just hunt to satisfy their hunger. They don't have unwanted desires. Kudos to them
эти люди истиные люди ,лишнего от природы не берут ,берут сколько надо👍👌
Они знают что это принадлежит им вот и весь ответ
Они живут в Гармонии с Природой.
Всем здорова
@@user-yo2qi9gn8k они то живут, нет их истребили американцы ваши любимые.
Эх, если бы все люди на земле. Жили бы с умом и по уму!!!
Vivo en Acapulco, en ese ambiente me sería difícil adaptarme, pero viviendo con ellos tal vez me adaptaría y viviría ahí unos 3 años . Los admiro, viven de la naturaleza agresiva y la dominan !!!
Carlos Carvajal, parabéns pelo o privilégio em morar em Acapulco, meu sonho é conhecer o Havaí mas as condições financeiras ñ deixam🤣🤣🤣🤣
Simply beautiful
Thank you for your great program I love the Inuit people very much 😘🙏💞🌺💖🌷💚
No vegetables yet, everyone looks healthy
Yeah, their bodies adapted to function solely on fat and proteins.
Because animal foods are the best... Not vegetables
It’s not that they’re against vegetables or anything This is the high arctic. Impossible to grow anything beyond certain types of berries This is why meat forms the majority of their diet
This is so cool....... please upload more.. I feel happy and blessed that iav watched this video...❤
خدای من چه مستند قدیمی راگذاشتید خاطرات دوران کودکی ما ازتماشای آن تازه شد. چهل سال ازآن میگذرد❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
I don’t know why I fell for this video 😂. So entertaining
Slow life Skills only Great video
Wow, such unspoiled lakes. No wonder our ancestors survived throughout
Wow that was amazing i was intrigued from start to finish ... Cheers for the upload
Simply amazing.
Love this stuff thank you!
Awesome
Thank you for the knowledge and the wise
I like the way you narrate..It's mesmerizing
Living the old ways, I like it. Now that's 17 minutes of good substance. Not fast talking, cut to-clips, what coffee their drinking and half of the video is the ride there- kids. Hahaha...
Oscar Outdoors Haha true .... now childrens a taught to use their eyes to looks for shops that say 30% off
great video
Their coats are awesome! Id love to have one, they look exceptionally warm. Nice coats
I've always been fascinated with this way of life and some of the hardest working men I've spent time at sea with have been natives
The Alaska original people are really great because they could survive the harsh weather conditions.
these people are in Canada, not Alaska.
Эскимос-инуит. The Strongs people!!! CHUCOTCA--RUSSEA!!! ARCTICA..
muito boa essa pescaria eu gostei
Very cunning,the simple family luving living off the land, very nicely done
Incredible skill set for very hard living.
That native guy appeared in "Never Cry Wolf" with Brian Denehy, in the 80s.
Pescar pra sobreviver sem prejudicar a mãe natureza mantendo o equilíbrio natural assim vale muito
Beautiful film!
and that is the way we used to live💗
No google just the skills of life
Amazing people!! How I wish I could've spent a year with them when I was young.
Lovely video and I love the style and voice of the narrator. Life long dream to visit Alaska all the way from Greece
This film was taken in Nunavut Canada. Alaska is in USA.👍🏽
That guy is a beast hunter
beautiful video I loved it!
Wow. Love this. I can’t help but wonder what these amazing people would think of living in big cities.
Now us generation, are now only wonder how we would live the way they did. We seem spoiled according the shows, though some tradition of eating the same way, is used. Rifles and motorized machine has taken over.
That spear setup system if very clever, the string is attached to the spear tip, probably a piece of bone with a lot of time spent carving the point and barbs. This would be very light and compact while travelling and then any old stick could be used when you arrive at the destination.....This kind of thing is the biggest reason I still watch old doco's like this.
Those times, the sea was full of fish...winters were cold and world was big...
Winters are even colder now where I live.
I feel a mixture of happiness and sadness when I watch this video. It's like a dose of nostalgia even though I've never lived like that. Their lives were simple. They didn't argue about abortion or debate about pronouns. They were happy and free.
AMEN !
yes , you have right bro
Your mixture is a result of you feeling trapped, in the cage built by our masters.
ikr?! Im Iñupiaq and to see my people argue over this new nonsensical bullshit... sad very sad
less happy during periods of starvation, which were common.
He makes it look so easy
Nature is beautiful they do natural all things so beautiful
I love that inuk
"Now son, you have to eat all your raw fish eyes before you can get up from the table." Whew.
Although if you only offer small children healthy foods that is what they eat.If they have never had junk food they don't eat it
A guy down the street from my adopted dad they owned a large strip mine lake together. He made soup out of fish eyes. Him and his wife enjoyed it.
I pray that this kind of civilization never gets erased or forgotten.
When the so called "modern civilization" collapses, every one else except people like these will die.
really awesome... you deserve an Osker.. pure beauty..nice camera control.. beautiful scenes
Amo assistir tuktu eu só queria saber se a alguns deste filme ainda vivo??
Segundo um dos comentários acima, as crianças que aparecem nos vídeos desta série hoje são avós.
Amazing how he caught all those fish with a freaking spear

The pictures film somewhere 1930-60 pretty cool,,!so much fish to provide for his family ❤❤
Well. What an amazing people, so competent in their lives. The filming was great , considering the hazards you overcome! Thank you, I'll subscribe.
3:30 ....when I was a young man, i used to fish all the time. every day, all day during summer break. most times, I can fish in a puddle in a parking lot and be satisfied.....but a few times, that fish was our food. we ne never went without but we would bring enough. If we didnt catch enough fish, camping or fishing trip was over. I'm not superstitious, in fact I'm an atheist and believe in evidence based facts, not faith or coincidences. still, there would be this panic like feeling that my trip, and thus, my experience with being quiet in the wilderness, would end if I didnt catch food. when I got that feeling, I would start to pray but to the fish, asking for them to forgive me for asking such a huge sacrifice but thanking them for giving their life so I could live. it used to make me laugh (a response to things we dont expect or cant explain) how often it would seem to work. at the same time, nobody showed me this.... nobody told me to respect the animal for giving their lives so I could live. in fact, I was a Christian then and it wa against my religion to do what i was doing..... .....but, I'm not exaggerating when I say I have caught, cleaned and ultimately killed thousands of fish (far more than I could personally consume but it never went to waste at my home) and it just felt like the moral thing to do. it's like the knowledge that life is finite gives people the ability to comprehend the sacrifice that another life has to make to sustain us. it was always a powerful feeling. every fish is a life to me. I'm not a hippy and I still cleaned them, sometimes alive....because i know they lack the parts of the brain required to comprehend pain and fear like we do. also, I'm not exaggerating when I say thousands of fish caught. not all were monsters...the opposite. taking my son out fishing for a few hours and them bringing home 51 pan fish isnt a feat. nor is landing a 40lb, 45" king salmon in a river. it's the experience and the location that I go for. its being alone and trying to connect with the wild that I'm addicted to. from fishing in lakes, rivers and other freshwater areas in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon....deep sea fishing (many, many times) off the Washington coast for halibut, salmon, rockfish and lingcod....to doing the same off the Alaskan coast, but also shrimping and crabbing......I've caught a fish or two. all if it was amazing, mostly because of the surrounding wildlife. two fish that stick out in my mind the most, however,a are: 1) Idaho, my cousin asks me if I can teach him how to make an emergency fishing setup for a survival situation. I, for some reason, added praying to the fish as a step....then I brought up a few pan fish with a line, a single split shot and a swivel bent into a hook. 2) in Alaska, a young girl at the camp had lived in Alaska her entire life and never been fishing. my last day there, I promised her I would catch her a fish.....in the ocean from the dock. again, I prayed to the fish. right before I have to leave to catch my flight out, I get a nice sized flounder. the cook at the camp cooked it and the little girl cried, gave me a hug so fierce that it sticks with me to this day....then said 'thank you so much! this is the best meal I will ever eat! I wish you were my dad so I could tell you how much I loved you!'. she then got embarrassed and hid, crying. I got to say goodbye and she gave me a shell we caught crabbing that I gave to her. she said 'put it in your pocket and please dont open it until you are on the plane.' I agreed and once we took off, I looked at the shell and there was a tiny piece of paper in it. it said 'thank you for the fish and for teaching me. nobody here cares like you do and I hope I get to meet someone like you in the future. i wish you were my dad and i wish we were flying to our home together. you could teach me a lot more about fishing. I love you so much and will never forget you.' she didnt sign her name. I cried my eyes out. I was only 17 and she was maybe 11, so I want father material and she was in need of more than I could offer....but she was the reason why i wanted to be and am currently a father today. thank you for your sacrifice, fish.
Nice memories. May you have many more. (I believe in a loving Heavenly Father and I do not think "praying" to the fish offends him.
Simple life. No need to worry about being late on bills and other costs of modern living. Stress free as long as there’s enough food for everybody.
absolutely true,
หนาวหน้าดูเลย นะ
Wow this is a nice video.... I enjoyed it very much.... I was looking up spearfishing because recently I created my own spear.... Well I should say that I attached a barbed metal spearhead to a wooden shaft and had to carve it to fit and put screws 8n to hold it... Anyway I ran across this video and at first I wasn't going to watch it but then I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised by the entire video...I enjoyed watching the people go about their daily tasks of fishing with a spear.... And I was amazed to see how accurate this little boy's father was with the spear.... I had no idea that they fished like this and I was equally amazed to see the detachable spearhead.... The people seemed very happy and close it was good to see a family working together as family should.... Blessings to these people.. I've read several comments and the comment section and there's a lot of very proud people of the Inuit culture.... I just hope and pray that they can keep their culture from being absorbed into the world of technology..... Because when that technology fails what will people have to go back to Plus the old ancient ways keeps families tightly knit and depending on each other it seems like in our modern day societies that families definitely are not as strong and it's not just in the Inuit community but all other communities as well technology has been bad for communities environments and families when you look at it from the big picture....
Wow amazing!! Watching from Philippines
