The Inuit and their Indigenous Foods

- In recent decades Indigenous Peoples globally have experienced rapid and dramatic shifts in lifestyle that are unprecedented in history. Moving away from their own self-sustaining, local food systems into industrially derived food supplies, these changes have adverse effects on dietary quality and health.
The Centre for Indigenous Peoples' Nutrition and Environment (CINE) based in McGill University, Canada, responded to requests from indigenous leaders from around the world to help stop loss of traditional food system knowledge with research and community-driven activities that bridge the generations.
This series of videos presents highlights from 12 indigenous community areas in 9 countries, and is intended to contribute to the evidence base used to make global policies to protect Indigenous Peoples' food resources and promote good health.
On Baffin Island, within the Nunavut Territory, the rural community of Pangnirtung uses traditional knowledge and country food to address emerging health patterns resulting from transition in nutrition and all facets of life. Working with the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Government of Nunavut Department of Health and Social Services and the Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, the project promotes health and well-being of community members with focus on local Inuit food.

These people are losing their identity!! This is the attitude of North America I despise, non-ethnic/native ppl stealing lands, identity, customs and food preferences from these self sustaining people. The government needs to leave these people alone, they know how to survive the climate, its tradition to hold onto language, dress, hunting practice and housing construction. The country food is nutritious and will keep their babies healthy. Making food prices high forces the people to buy cheap and unhealthy carbs, fats and sugars. God bless these people and protect their ways and customs as only you can.
I'm only 28, and I was adopted when I was born in Yellowknife NWT (North West Territories, Nunavut wasn't "established" yet, not til 1999). But I still have contact with my biological mom and her family thankfully! However:
I don't know my native tongue of Inuktitut, I don't know how to hunt, I don't know my people's folklore, I don't know how to prepare our culinary dishes, I don't know our spiritual rituals, I don't know our music...
Both the corrupted government and the various religious institutions play a part in having me so disconnected from my heritage, my joy, my community.
Besides having their habitats, their lives being plundered and destroyed by white people. Also, understand that they have been compelled to give up and despise their cultural beliefs- based on respect of Nature, and being forced to convert to Christianity in order to quality for basic necessities of life- housing, food and medicine! Expose the truth!
@Stephanie Santana The Eskimo community in Alaska, and Northern Canada rely on the government for welfare, they don't do work. There identity is mongolian. Mongolia is the place they come from. They are not Natives. Even Nordics have rightful claims towards that land.
What are you talking about? Culture and traditions are to share together. That’s what keep them alive, and inuit are happy to share them.
Couldn't agree more! Unfortunately, our voices are overshadowed by selfishness, convenience, greed, and all other lovely western attributes. It's sad. I'm moving to Alaska to getaway, but I'm sure it will be casino's and hotels soon! 😞
Excellent documentary. The "modernization" of their diet is what's caused the health issues.
Keep all Indigenous people alive,we need them,they don't do any harm.
What beautiful people and culture. As a Canadian I am ashamed on behalf of our government and country for the assimilation of this culture.
Don't be "ashamed"!
Shame is a trivialisation or the sanctioning of guilt of what is a crime.
Always love learning about Indiginous cultures, especially that of the Inuit & Sioux nations. I never learned about them in US Public school so I like to take every chance I get to learn
Once a pure and distant part of the world, tarnished by so-called modern civilization.

that lady's constant talk about fats in the Inuit diet is misleading and missing crucial background support. In the old days, fat in the diet was the main source of calories. Eating a largely protein diet actually was calorie negative. I forget who it was but some guy did some research on this a long time ago. he found out the people couldn't survive on protein alone, They needed fats. there's a lot of wisdom in the old people's way eating. For example, fish was often consumed raw. its been found that doing so preserved certain vitamins/nutrients without which the people would develop nutrient deficiency diseases such as scurvy.
The fact that they are living in a freezer help with the preservation of raw meat
@@bobbywalsh5538 yes
They have wisdom because only the ones who did things right survived. That's how you know what they do is right
I love fats. I never throw away any fat. Any pork grease is saved in a container. Great for cooking potatoes, etc..

THAT MAKES ME SMILE.

I'm from the U.S in indiana, ive never traveled out of my country but I've always like the idea of traveling North of Canada or north of Alaska to learn & live off the land, I want to eat the food that the government hasn't touched. Let's say contaminated. Please don't rely on carbs & sugars unless food is scars, teach your kids & the generations to come how to live off the land. Dont become lazy like us Americans & stay healthy. I have mad respect for you indigenous people thriving off the land, using the resources around you. That should be part of our essence
Living in the arctic is best you would’ve be welcome here in the arctic
You should leave the country one day. So
Much to see outside. Good to travel!
Just pure awesomeness 🙌 i would love to experience this way of life 👌 greetings from the UK ☺
In the 1920s, it is impossible to find fat Inuit people. But nowadays, modern processed foods have changed that.
That's kind of the same everywhere
@@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 u are wise
@@marilynyoh7951 Thank you, my wisdom is yours🙏
Just inuit, not inuit people. Basically you wrote people people. Because the word inuit means people.
Teach your Language to your Children. It's CRITICAL THAT THE YOUTH LISTEN TO THEIR ELDERS and Learn How to Eat , Hunt and Fish the Country Food. The Elders Won't be there forever, soon the Children will become the Elders so they had better Listen.
“Mother tongue”
Moms pass on the language.

@@AngelEyez727 the good ol' days
2018-2021 there’s no snow yet mid October to the end of October everything was somewhat frozen already, climate change is messing with a lot of cultures and peoples that live in isolated communities.
Where can I find recipes for Inuit traditional dishes ?
you should try some facebook groups!
take an artic fishing trip, you'll get the freshest, coldest fish you've ever tried
takr away from carbs. just eat fat and meat you will feel amazing
Masha Allah very nice video and very interested life is very hard💖🇵🇰
So cool
What the video doesn't say: All people were indigenous at one time. And lived close to the earth as do these folks. What happened to many settled areas is happening last to outlying areas.
No more sugar, no more carbs

I have a lot of Inuit in my blood. I had a test that came back recently. It shows I am chronically low in Bs. I began to eat raw fish and now I feel amazing. Through we are a world away, I feel it. I am from Michigan. As a child I made my own primitive igloo for fun. I prefer milk and meat. Our kids have a low vocal fray.... we carry strength genes. I taught myself to fish at 17. Looking at you all I see the relation in my family. It is in our eyes. My grandmother is 4ft 6. Lol she has only 26 teeth, naturally. I have 28.
I also have lots of fat under my skin. I never knew growing up and because I look mostly European I coukd only guess. I believe that some instincts are in our bones. So much love to you.
What raw fish do you eat?
🧡
they speak so softly
If fish was the same price as French fries i'd be eating a lot more fish. 2$/kg for French fries here.
7:45 is the beginning of the end of their healthy way of life: the introduction of our western "DIE- et"

humans are capable of unspeakable atrocities.
none greater than judging others while being blind to their own ways...
Very very wise comments it's good to see you have a good mind coming from 100 percent native..
When you eat food from a supermarket your are lost. When I lived in the Netherlands I ate seafood mostly.
I would love to go this place, but being vegetarian (Indian) I'm afraid I won't survive there☹️
Likely not, "regular" food at stores in Alaska and Canada is expensive as hell. You'd likely have to stock up on rice and spices
You would definitely be healthier.
I’m Indian too. The inuit look like Northeast Indians, but NE india doesn’t eat that much meat.
That first gurl in school was so pretty.
the pop industry moving its evil claws everywhere.Sad
Many talk about the conflict that Inuits had with Europeans but they do not talk alot about the fights they had with First Nations like The Crees And Denes and to a lesser extent Metis also known as Mestizos
Where is ur information coming from cuz that’s all the way in the Arctic and the middle of America is wayyyy far from that
I’m gonna play along...even tho you’re knowledge doesn’t really seem like information that makes sense. It’s the fact that even if the different nations had conflicts back then, there’s no significant harm that resides within those tribes today. This is because of colonization, and European conflicts. You see in today’s modern world, each Native faces the same stereotypes and racism as a ojibwe or Inuit person would. And let’s say just (for An example) that Ojibwe and the Inuit had conflict back then, what good does that do to talk about it as much as we do between the Europeans and Natives? Well because the tribe conflicts doesn’t effect anything, and it wasn’t based on racism. So, that’s why it’s not talked about or valued as much as the conflict between the Natives and Europeans, because the conflict between them has DONE far more significant damage and isn’t even compatible to tribe conflict. One was clearly only one sided, which was the Europeans colonizing the land, and committed genocide against all tribes, the language, and the culture. Tribe conflict, never did that huge amount of damage, nor did it effect anything. Understand, and learn.
@@iceyyy47 "yeah you tell em!
This is because our way of life was completely taken away. That was not how it happened with other first Nations conflicts. Of course they had problems with each other but they still understood they were neighbours. They weren't trying to make their way of life and culture illegal and take the children away, etc. Whatever the Europeans did was way more comparitivly. I'm sure this has happened in your own life. Your have a problem but then a much bigger problem that rocks your life comes along.
@@iceyyy47 But there was some racism involved between The First Nations And Inuits both usually made fun of each others physical appearances or and facial features and recognized they were not only different tribally and clan wise but also in terms of origins too The Crees And Denes were the main First Nation tribes that had contacts and agressions towards The Inuits more then the other way around surprisingly they even called them "raw meat eaters" as a insult and often plundered, raided, pillaged, attacked, enslaved, kidnapped, stole, robbed, plotted, and did other very questionable actions towards them. This does not justify what Europeans And Metis in general later on did but it goes to show that Anti First Nation And Anti Inuit attitudes predate Europeans And Metis.
Obviously no market food is needed for indigenous people, they just have to be free to live their way of life on their own land.
8:18 my dude has 2 first names.
Please people, don't rely too much on processed meals. Make mixed veggie+meat+bean stew, for example. Bread with whole grains or use crushed lentils, for example. Much better for your guts and brains. Sugary soda is trash to avoid. Be well❤❤❤❤
I had a bit of this life in the early 90s before it got out of hand
I would love to eat seal and whale meat.
I'm a native canadian man 47 y/o and the same thing is happeneing with our youth. The same way that our traditional food deer, moose, fish, etc. is way more healthy than what we eat now is affecting our health too. Hmm it's time to go hunting ....
The Inuits look a lot like Japanese people. They are for sure of Asian descent and look a lot like that Japanese. Amazing.
Their half 🇯🇵 & Native American
Sorry but they are in no way shape or form Japanese, and this notion that Natives are just Asians who traveled to the Americas has been a tool used by those who colonized these lands to erase us. Look up Native erasure please. Not saying Japanese people aren’t beautiful people, but we Natives are not the same and we are our own people, people indigenous to this land and are not Asians.
I think they are similar to Native Americans but live in northern parts of the continent. The way that they looked like similar to Mongolians, Urals, and Japanese is they live in the same climate.
First before judging there origin by there on video culture a one should read there history books and one learn what they say about themselves and from this point you compar with one what own historian wrote about them (short cut ask a university historian professor)

Eat these Words --
The village of Nukshilak
Survived in the perpetual apocalypse that was realized to be the fertile ground for life's flower, resilient and beautiful as plant based ice
Things are cooler here, but here is a frozen utopia, mirage to many, but open to those whose hearts may take them.
To grow the ice within, and to slip through with the cold sustainer. To learn to be sustained by cold, she learned from Nuliajuk.
the planets are her bracelets, and a small pen dispenses the soap of the world in clean words of the goddess,
They realized they were in a frozen place frozen in time, large crystals of ice sustained them there,
Patches of time and earth lead to the quilt of goddess
They are frozen and they may never be the same, these people are cold, not emotionally, but truly. Reaching that frozen point, they called it ice. There is a river within the ice like a beach, there is a heart within ice that the cold world knows about. It's beat is different but it's function is the same, to preserve ice.
Practical sensible people have come from Nukshilak but that has all been the quieter types.
There are many reserved way there, that have only asked to grow in secrecy. They have sent free zing winds, maturing later in the year,winters are getting more powerful.
Nevertheless, the inuit have shut out foreigners and remained elusive to radar and plane lookouts. The clean trail keeping is to be respected but the signs put out are to trap outsiders and not genuine.
"ii am that cold. You were only brought here because you duck away from everyone else. You really shouldn't be too extroverted"
"You'de be better off finding the mythology of your own hand. Inuit would be left alone. It's an individual's vision, not a groups"
Autism has taken you to these islands, a profound wave of fate , these zen gardens are watched over by the few remaining arctic coastal shaman, none of them allow photography, but a special light keeps your Internet connection going.. your game selection is special. Autism and the goddess has sustained them for you; a hacker is bringing you ice but she is a friend, determined to survive under eons worth of a cumulated snow and destroy none of it; this was Mahoney's predicament... like a periscope of Kim possible, you used the gamegirl device to send back psychedelic insight. It is your rainstick just as in the mazatec, they would also ride dragons and whales to the inuit lands but be shunned usually by the austere hosts. You are able to provide a game to them, but nothing more real, maybe a game, a single tear of this wonton better than ffvii, would suit our fates.
They match their materia to the ice GoddessCrystals found here and in doing so they preserve and expand Maryland forests but also the forests of the whole world. A mathsci art founded by youth scientists called 'magnetmateraligy'
IceJadeida language, was discovered; because you are autistic these needed discoveries will finally stick in the almanacs - the ancients left trails in the snow, Ice clouds visible still today over years and years ...
Because you have made a friend with coldness you are good for this.
Nukshilak is an ice buddha
She reflects us back to us within ourselves,
She slows the world; she leads prosecution against churches that drain the soul from created life. At this very moment she is freezing over and expanding islands over my reaffirmation to save Icegarden. The pressure is high so I submit to it.
These are the actual scenes from Venice.
"There is no sustenance in the cold, the earth is sustaining them somehow. Sometimes some snakes will appear with people and be disappated and remedied from by time in the arctic cold lands. This is a rare recourse of healing not many are familiar with."
I had gotten lost out there.. I remember losing my way of the trails, the snow had lifted several inches and I began to see a being that may have been Nuliajuk, I was buried in the snow ultimately and my spirit roamed there unrested, that is until you nondramatically returned me to Venice.
"Actually, We had been looking into you for some time in Nunavut, Lara Croft... your explorer prowess comparable to our fiercest bear people. I am...
An undercover working for the inuit, this is not Venice, this is a frozen replica."
Of course I knew that before, but there was a lot that none of us knew about the arctic inuit regions. Flashbacks to Italy were apparently common there. "In order words she is definitely not dead."
Smiled Nuliajuk's witness.
I take you through an otherwise forbidden hall;
I show you secrets, knowledge hidden by the sages
Pointing back to the melissae as the sustainers of them who befriend the ice (and not drugs!)
And you scoff like that still?
"I implore you, honesty, they are not dead, nothing
Dies here. Nuliajuk is a little girl and it wouldn't be proper."
Bear witness the melissae are powerful and undying; forest ices, not really priestesses
They are spared by poetry at nature's insistence
You do not scoff today, because Melissa wrote a poem
Because they are frozen they begin to see us again; we are healed by a rainbow and helped by Melissa's good heart (she is psi - admitted by the Italian embassy)
We are not fooled by her initially slowloading math modules
She is a branch of black and white in equality -- she wanted to sell pizza
They are working on the pizzas.
The original soul of the pizza is the same as it is now. The original soul of zen.
If no one is planning and things are just happening then it's the same zen.
A pizza might come out to you with this script attached but it's too unpredictable and loose to be called a method.
Because she is there Nukshilak has a great school, Nuliajuk went there long ago.
"And now I go there as well," Croft pointed out, disinterestedly but earnestly. They continue to be in love with Croft's soft side. "The arctic calmed things down for me, there are no weapons allowed out there and it was peaceful and quiet. " she wrote "I continue to be in love with everyone except hitler."
"I continue to see the sky full of magnificent fish that taste like water." In this incarnation she is mystical and she has favored protective missions for the uyghurs while making peace with the eternal code. Give them anything but give them the sense that they do it from their computers from home RPG style, free the world this way, that is found neither in zen nor tao, but is abundant at tech store CompUSA. Yea, this is how it is today, from a retired tark/inuit software designer to you, aloha, thanks for not dumbing down Lara's croftiness.
It was so sad seeing how processed foods have destroyed so many of the younger generations! You can tell.
Eating the animal including the liver etc kept them healthy and slim. You only need to drink tap water - that is all I drink in the UK - there is no need for all these other drinks like coffee and coke and orange juice and alcohol once you stop feeding from your mother. High good fats is the way to go and lots of protein.
I can identify with the heart disease, and obesity and type 2 diabetes as I am prime example of a person that suffers from this as a Scandinavian living in a large city the United States, please listen to your elders that suffer from medical maladies and eat properly.....
Sad about the morbid obesity but it is a new way

the younger generation has worse grown in teeth than the elders?
Yes this happens with each generation when they eat conventional processed foods. Look up Weston A Price. Older generations from all cultures throughout the world have broader faces and non crowded teeth. It’s younger generations that have these malformations in their jaws and face. These narrow faces so many of us have are the result of a few generations eating processed foods instead of our traditional foods.
Processed food my friend
Poverty is not an identity..😕
