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.

Flintknapping and making hunting and cutting tools. Tool making from bones or ivory.
Further back in time when and before the natives never seen another race. I am from point hope ak tikigaqmuit ariigaa.
Hi
Maybe just subtitles and original audio for the native language
Who else is binge watching Tuktu??
That's my boi
Yes, it's lovely and so kindly made and gentle and respectful. I love it. I also like that they eat healthy fish, not junk food.
@Vagenstein You've commented on multiple Tuktu videos, but I have no life? Lol.
Me from Chile, South América
Me too
When your head is messed up, an episode of Tuktu and a cup of tea. Is as good as any valium before bed. Sweet dreams 💓🇮🇪

The way they describe the seal hunt as being a form of communion with the animal itself is really beautiful
Exactly. And the commercial hunters tell us they hunt Not for furr but to protect the seals from overpopulation. Two beatifull ways to kill the seals.
It's not just that, it's practical. If you squint your eyes while watching the part when he tries to look like a seal on the ice to approach the real seal (which has poor vision), stunningly his silhouette looks exactly like an animated seal !
What you eat gives you life. Inuit know that very well, to thank for the life they took, for saving them.
'I bring you a gift from the depths of the sea', such respect for Mother!
my inuktitut teacher let us watch these videos during inuktitut classes and they are so fun to watch!
I wish I could have meet this man face to face to show the respect I have for the hardships he’s been through. The worst day Of my life was probably just a Tuesday for him.
These people go through hardships each day yet they are a happy people. Through their lifes experience they know everything they need is provided from the frozen land they inhabit. An amazing people indeed.
@@jamesmoore3346 this comment made me so happy. thank you brother/sister for recognizing us indigenous peoples as human!!
James moore, this fills my soul!!
To these people each day is not a hardship because they know no other.
@@poopythicckums2232 you have all my respect & love . Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Probably the most specialized people that ever lived. Instant death in this unforgiving environment without their knowledge. Absolutely incredible!
Try the Siberian peoples of the Russian Arctic. They were similar. The Eskimos themselves came from Siberia a couple thousand years ago. In the middle ages some were still crossing
The sunnies man is the dude!
Kahlahari bush men . Living in the desert 🌵
Jazzy, those Kalahari Bushmen are amazing people. I have watched a few Documentaries about them.
Johan, that couldn't be more far from the truth. If you reflect on the whole series, the Inuit had tons of knowledge and hunted every animal on the ice and in the frigid waters in many different ways. They were generalists of the cold latitudes. Some other people living in hot climate may be more specialized to fishing only. So no they were not specialized but exploited every possible way of survival in their climate.
It's amazing to see how despite living in such a harsh environment. They still practices hospitality to friends and strangers. It's the strong bond of family and friends that helps these incredibles people survives and thrives in these most hospitable places on Earth.
Its jot surprising. Hard times increase cohesion
I think that's what helped ensure their survival. Today I am a great hunter, but tomorrow I won't be. So today I take care of everyone else, and tomorrow they'll take care of me.
@@allanfeatherstone3876 well said
So you expected them to be assholes for some reason?
Just DON'T FEED THEM ALCOHOL
Binge watching in 2021..I remember watching this series in social studies at Cincinnati Country Day School in the early 70's. I went on to major in anthropology primary because of this presentation. #GoBlue
That is amazing and i can entirely see why. This serie is a precious treasure. It could never be filmed again with the warmth and smile of several generations on camera and the unbelievable skills they possessed. I am going to cry when i finish watching it because this is as precious and beautiful as it gets.
"Let the hunter be thankful to sea Goddess" What a beautiful belief
I love polytheist. There is a god for everything in the nature.
All these things aren't beliefs they're survival necessities. They help the hunt, help finding a mind disposition to guide the hand for the hunt or with the frustration of a missed hunt. As we all know a man can be his own worst enemy and those thoughts are necessary to self manage and keep the hope that keeps us alive. They're not beliefs they're acting real part of life. Indigenous people understood this well and it made a real difference.
Those who appreciate other cultures, with the recognition that this is one universe and we are mortal beings.

"SNEAK ATTAAACK!"
"Sokka, sneak attack doesn't work if you yell it out loud."
If I ever see a seal laying on the ice, I’m gonna try that seal technique!
Careful, a hunter might mistake you for a seal.:)
@@angava819ers5 oh that was good I still rolling
@@angava819ers5 Or he might find out the other seal is also a hunter.
Thank you so much for posting these. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all 13 parts.
Most people watching this don’t even realise that we are watching a Palaeolithic way of life that hasn’t changed for thousands of years got on a camera of the modern era. What a time to be alive
WOW!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE STORY AND NARRATION!!!
Theirs kindness and generosity never ceases to amazes me.
wait till you see what alcohol did to them
@@LegionDesu What did alcohol do to them?
Tell that to the seal Cosmo.
@@LegionDesu man this is satisfying I’m an inuk and Inuit people need to stop drinking alcohols, shit ruin everything I used to go out to sleep somewhere cause my father used to drink alcohols when I was kid. Modern life ruin everything. Giving inuit people drugs and alcohol
@@Kensho-gw5cp I live in alaska i see it every day pretty sad really
Humans at their most hardcore
Great knowledge to have. Just in case.
Why is that accent, this is translated not the original voice, why add that stupid accent?
@@seanleith5312 What do you mean?
these are humans of the finest kind, but there are still hominids around from one continent.
I like this video....it gets the seal of approval
All humans will like this video.
this type of documentaries make us proud and thankful to our ancestors for all the hardships they endured
truly humans are the supreme beings
Id recomend this as night time listening these are amazing but simple stories i will humble you
❤ I learned more from this than in school
How Cute is The First Child 😘
not
These vids are gold!!!
If you haven't tasted seal meat you have no idea what your missing. Greetings from Winnipeg
True dat
I would love to give it a try. Like black bear that eats berries. Hopefully one day. All the best.👍
This has gotten me very emotional. My God!!
Hungry? You want seal meat?
Perfectly natural, this is the human life each one of our distant ancestors lived for sure, for hundreds of thousands year, and they had to be as intelligent as we are now. You can see how cunning, intelligent and smart you have to be to survive. Everything is in its purest form including relation between father and son. Of all the people i would respect the most, at the very top above anyone else i would put these Inuit people because their life represented the essence of a most difficult but yet happy life on this planet.
this guy tells the story perfect i love the old ways over today great job on all of these i wish i could go an live it for a while back then
Wise and resilient people. Great hunters.
Love how the dogs helped with the seal hunt.
And impressed by how they respect the catch, know they'll get a share later.
those dogs are such good boys
if those dogs are not fed, they revert back to their wild state.
@Viper especially me
@Viper brillant and true reply.
Incredible. Wonderful to see families working together surrounded by resources. You don’t see that today because the land was intentionally stripped to make people dependent just to take that capability and skill away from the home to capitalize.
I have so much respect for the INUIT and there extreme way of life.
Nice to see that Kind of story! It’s totally mind blowing and soul touching! Love from Bangladesh
Just started with Turku. Have been watching kayak videos about various tribe styles of design and building, since taking up canoe and learning to understand the paddle, wind, and water.
Check out "land of the long day". Some good kayaking in that.
Those bone(I think?) goggle or glasses are so cool.
What the exp. he give to us..who like this life style..thanks for this contens video...I love it' much..
Amazing!
Wonderful documentary I wish you success
*They mastered survival mode*
The series is addictive!!
I've watched another documentary with these same individuals. Cool!!
Привет ростов на дону Россия прекрасное видео очень познавательное я много чего узнала нового для себя вот ведь жил человек не зная интернета безграмотен но он по себе умный разум его здесь он и инженер строитель плотник рыбак отличный и наверно он был счастлив по своему и ценил каждую минуту своей жизни спасибо я хочу чтоб на земле был мир
Great video from the old days.
its amazing he could go so near the seal with this technique.
Seals dont have good eye sight when on land so it makes sense that he was able to get close to the seal.
@@trulyidkman seal has good eye sight. the hunter could get near it because he pretended to be a seal himself and the seal got tricked. try walking straight to the seal, u won't get near 100meter near them.
@@trulyidkman seals normally flee into the sea at any little movement. Might not be good eyesight compared to humans. But you have to be VERY careful trying to get close to them. They have great hearing and smell. He even says you have to make sure you are down wind so they don't smell you.
I dunno why I love watching this kind of video 🤗🤗
Probably because it's about real tribes and old ways. :-)
glory to God bless you for sharing
It’s amazing how they learned how to survive in that climate.
God Bless You people
Very nice documentary, when i was 7 about 34 years ago watched at Iranian national tv, is so strange but it broadcasting in the children’s programs times and we like it :)
Simply amazing!!
Watching from phillipines 😊😊
A remarkable people.
this is a beautiful thing the way people are supposed to be.
Joe Ellis What do you mean?
@@bogusswe Eating real food that nature provides us.
@@bogusswe Working with nature as opposed to working against it. Having a tribe of similar people around you. Working for purpose. Respecting the Earth.
@@ConsumeYourSoul619 Exactly, it is pathetic that some people need guiding to understand these fundamental truths and the way we are going against them.

Hello from Alaska 😉😉
Epic narration
This story good
The amount of hardship these ppl go through is incomprehensible to modern day city dwellers. Most city folks would not last 2 days out there
Good vedio I watched this vedio over 50 times ...thanks
Video
I understand Alaska has their own North West Natives that live in cold Environments but this Film was Filmed and Produced by Canadians in Canada about Canadian Eskimos and about their Seal Hunting. It looks to me as if your giving more credit to Alaska then whats due.
Hello neighbor
But then again, Canada is a stolen French territory.
I really enjoy these videos
amazing
And thats the way the cookie crumble
I was wondering if you could post an escomo combat tec. Video?
Exelente canal parabéns
eating raw meat was necessary because raw meat has vitamin C, and if it is heated vitamin C is lost and scurvy is produced
OR you can consume the organs
If they have material to can make fire , im sure they will cooking it
Eskimos get their vitamin c from eating oranges. They don’t eat raw seal, only fish and whales they eat raw.
sure... they just jump in their G6 and fly to florida, swipe their platinum American express and have it DHL'd back home...
@Tf Is Yu they cook the meat as well. They eat it raw at first when it is fresh but then they cook the meat to preserve it.
So good😋
I liked his glasses man its cool
Neat eh, they are called Iggaaq. Inuit from around the world have made them for many centuries. The idea of sun glasses came from the iggaaq.
That moment you realise the harshest thing in my life is my Wi-Fi went down for 5 minutes.
Very hard life for a wonderful creature on earth,...
Usually don't need a cooler.
The patience waiting for a seal to pop up or swim past that hole
seals have to surface every 30-40 min to breathe. The dogs can sniff which hole has been recently used.
I knew it! I knew that was the way..
Amazing people to survive such harsh weathet to live and eat.
Nice
In another one of these NFB videos, In The Winter Sea Ice Camp, one of the seal hunters places this three-pronged bone or something tied to a tuft of fur into the seal's breathing hole, with exactly one strand of hair on the bottom prong with the tuft outside the hole. My question is, what is the purpose of that 3-pronged thing? I've read that it 'signals' when the seal is at the hole but how exactly? Does the hair break or tremble? If you don't mind answering a silly question that is
The surface pressure is moved by the motion of the water rising when the seal is coming up, hence air moves and "triggers" the hair. When the hunter sees this trigger, he knows that the seal is coming up to breathe.
Good.
Very hard living.... Are the Eskimos has been living since ancient time in the Pole North or as a migrant only?
Eskimo is a racist word
Why didnt he threw the harpoen lying on the ground?
I wish I could live like this
I live like this, but with a little bit of modern technology
Coming home draggin' a seal behind ya
Now that's soldiering
Who knows the music of film ? Love it much. Tks
I have a question for anyone who knows:
Seal oil is extracted by boiling the fat.
But is there another way to get it?
It seems like a bit of a paradox if you want to get the oil to make the heat/fire in the first place. Surely you would use all your oil up, extracting oil if that is the only way to get it...
Or can a small amount of oil/heat extract a lot more? Meaning you just need to save a little for the next batch...
And what if you run out and need to get some more from scratch and there is no drift wood to create a flame?
I wondered if pressing or fermenting would produce burnable oil.
If it is anything like tallow a small amount could render quite a lot. Even lard from pigs can get a good burn going and it does not take much heat to render fat. You just want it melted not burnt. Not sure about fermenting but I am pretty sure pressing would not work on animal fats.
As much as I remember, you get seal oil by putting the seal fat inside a bucket. You stir it every so often. But after a while, it'll eventually end up with that stuff you love. Yum 😋😋
Seal fat will "melt" at room temperature, it doesn't take much for it to turn to oil, that is the beauty of seal fat.
who else is watching in 2021 like me 😁👍
The big one that got away! As a fisherman I know the feeling! Damn!
As a vegetarian who can't abide such cruelty I'm happy for it. Perhaps they should chase you across the ice and see how far you get GW.
@@stefanmarkusuebele1007 vegetarianism against cruelty is great, vegetarianism against carnivores is at odd with the natural world. Let's face it evolution is about killing to eat. Eskimos are kind people and like all indigenous people they have respect for animals, their hunting is not "game" like the anglos, it's livelihood. There is no vegetation to eat in this ice. Eating animals is what our body evolved to do and other things. The seal themselves eat live fishes. I do have a problem with cruelty and 'game' hunters but not this.
cooking pots will boil again , really do you burn snow?
In other parts of the world capitalism and greed ruined everything for millions of people, I really enjoy watching how these ppl lived and survived, amazing
Try seal meat. It's lean, full of flavor. Almost like beef jerky but not dried out. It tastes amazing with seal oil (basically the fat juice) and salt. Dude. You're missing out.
Does anyone know when was this recorded?1950’s?
1967
How did they get iron materials used in their hunting weapon?
Traded it with people buying skins. Ivory of them. Buy they used to use bone and Ivory for the spear head's originally.
This ist bjautifool Film.
Can anyone give me info on the glasses they had on? What do they help with?
Snow blindness. It is not fun. Basically you get a sunburn on your retina, it feels terrible, like having sand ground into your eyes. They hurt open, they hurt closed, just brutal. Have had it a couple of times, really not a fun experience.
They prevent snow blindness by cutting down on the glare that bounces from the snow to your face from the sunlight
It feels like you have scratches on your eyes they ache
これが本来の人間の生き方だと思う。

Dang we have lost our ways.
This was us not that long ago
That's because authorities are telling people how they can live and what they can do. And all the doo gooders greenies that have no idea how to live of the land telling people it cruel and unatrual to hunt and gather your own meat food. And if you do they belittle people that do and call them mental. they seem to think we all should buy processed food with no goodness from shop's. This should be incouraged for people live on the natural foods where these people live. Certain people in the world have truly lost all sense of reality. And it always people in power that create these stupid law's. Never lived a day in there lives off the land. And have no idea how nature works.
