    I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for several years. The native Hawaiians also have stories of little people who are fast, smart and very strong. They are called Menehune and live in the lava caves. A native told me a story about when he was sleeping in his SUV while fishing at the sea cliffs the Menehune surrounded and moved his vehicle during the night, as if it was in their way. He only woke up when they put it down and he saw the dark little men scurry off. I love these stories. Glad you got to hang out with the Yupik.

    Amazing content. Hearing the story about the little people gave me goosebumps, where I come from, in Peru; there's also similar stories about the little people and how NOT to never bother them. Some people that live in secluded areas, where their presence is known, even pay their respects to them, by leaving them food outside their house. It is said that if you leave offerings for them, they in turn will protect you (i.e. chase off predators or intruders).
    But what was most chilling to hear, its the story we heard about them wanting to take the little kid away. In my country, it is also popular knowledge that they are especially keen on taking little kids away ( never again to be seen) for some reason.
    Anyway, crazy to see how all of these "crazy stories" have an almost identical narrative, yet these peoples are so far away from each other and yet they speak of the same, down to the detail.
    Makes you wonder indeed...
    Anyway, thanks Peter for being such a humble and respectful emissary of these people's legacy and allowing us to have a glimpse into this harmonic way of living in tune with nature. Much love.

    What also caught my ear was the stories Adora told about the little men. There are similar stories told by other peoples living in cold climates e.g. the Ainu tell stories about the Korpokkur (lit. meaning "people living under the butterbur plant"). Then again, virtually every culture on the planet has tales and legends about dwarf-like beings so.. I guess the Yupik just encountered very scary ones.

      The woman from the tribe said something very interesting, that they go away when you cast them in Jesus' name. I wasn't always a Christian but I remember hearing about similar stories in Mexico and overtime I realized places around the world would have very similar experiences with these "little men" or whatever they are. There was a time when I saw some very interesting stuff, not little men, but things that scared the living hell out of me for weeks. I heard that casting them away in Jesus' name works so I did, and since then I converted (among other reasons that came about). other Christian communities outside of the West will talk about how they confront these things and they will almost never see them again because of their faith. So, would these things be demonic? Maybe spirits masquerading as something else? And why do they all seem to react badly to the name of Jesus?

Probably due to social media? I really hope they can make use of it to actually spread and strengthen their language like other native communities around the world. And someone needs to write down how to say thank you in Siberian Yupik. I definitely want to learn that.

    Peter should do an episode on some of the stories natives have about spirits and such. Hearing the story about the small people legitimately freaked me out and brought up some memories. I've been told that only some families experience things like that. Mine is one of them. Unfortunately it's not something a lot of people talk about, so people don't know how to deal with those experiences. My grandma told me the same thing the older lady did. Some other native people I've talked to seem to also have stories about odd things they've seen. It's not a topic that I bring up often. Welp, now imma be awake for awhile...

      @@GFINHK Well. Me and my mom both seen little grey people. I seen one at night in my bed right next to me with black eyes, and when I jolted up it was gone. Then when I managed to fall back asleep, literally at the moment I was drifting off, my plant on my 6' tall dresser fell on my bed by my feet. It scared the crap outta me and I yelled so loud my dad ran to me room to see what the heck happened.
      My mother seen small grey people when I was young, but I never really asked her much about them, I just know she seen them running around. She had the house blessed after that. Mine and her experiences happened at two different places. But I remember hearing footsteps at a duplex I used to live at in the living room. One time my mom thought I left the water faucet on in the bathroom at night, which I clearly didn't because I refused to leave the room every night.
      So that's the freaky stuff regarding small people I know of with my mom and myself. Other relatives seen ghosts.
      At my aunt's there is a woman in white that likes my second cousin. He's woken up to her staring at him, and his girlfriend has seen her too (they used to live there with her). His mother, my cousin, used to feel like she was being choked when she slept sometimes, when she lived there long ago. And they seen someone running down the hallway, in front of the TV in the living room, and out the sliding glass door while watching football. This was my uncle, my aunt's ex boyfriend, and my cousin who all witnessed it. My other cousin's boyfriend talked to a little girl in white there too. He thought it was of the kids in the family (we had a family gathering) when he was outside in the backyard smoking a cigar. Their Roomba also randomly starts cleaning in the middle of the night, and they checked the app to make sure it wasn't set right. (That one is freaky but is also funny). My second cousin and myself (similar age) used to sleep over at my aunt's in her back room. And it was always scary. I always wanted to close the hallway door. We literally slept in a room of porcelain dolls. Not even joking. But while the dolls were "creepy" we both felt that they went the problem. So when my second cousin told me about the white lady, it kind of made sense. They said she wears a white dress and it looks really old fashioned. Lives over in Sacramento (Peter is from sac if I'm not mistaken) by Laguna and consumes river Dr. I don't know if there was anything old around there back in the day.
      That's pretty much the ones I know of that I remember. I know other members have seen things, but like I said, it's hard to find the right time to talk about it. Needless to say, some people are ok with it, some aren't. My cousin who sees the white lady, is totally fine with it. And he's a really nice, good person. Myself, who is a decent person I hope, I hate seeing that stuff. I get really bothered when people talk about it because I had nobody to talk to about it. And nobody really wants to tell a kid "oh yeah I've seen that stuff too" because the implications in our society or in general could be really bad. I actually had to stop the video when I heard them talking about the little people, and continue watching it after I was ready.

    The landscape is so stark and almost brutal and then gentle. Just amazing contrasts. The ice crevasse was something magical. I actually gasped. The glowing color of it and it seemed to emanate a strange and amazing power. Have never seen something like that. Hollywood does not seem to capture that in films, etc. Thanks so much for this video. The people are very interesting and lovely. The men kept trying to spoof you and seemed to enjoy doing it so much. Spiritual and Powerful, yes,.

    I grew up in Southwestern Alaska and the Southwest Yupik culture is the same. "Yupik" actually means the "real people" because in the culture there are many kinds of people, little people and the people from other realms that we cannot see. Just like there are many different names for snow.

    Thank you so much for this tour of Savoonga and the surrounding areas. One of my favorite TV shows of all time is The Last Alaskans, and one of the people featured, Edna Korth, who now lives with her husband in ANWR, is from Savoonga. She talks about it with so much love, and I always wanted to see what it was like.

How are the homes built, how they get water etc. Excellent video. I also enjoyed the last video as well. These Alaskan videos are so well done and interesting.

    Great video and very interesting. Although I have been to many places in Alaska, that area is not a region I have spent time in. Just an FYI, Reindeer and Caribou are the same animal. They are called Reindeer in Europe and Caribou in North America. However, if they are domesticated in North America, they are called Reindeer, and if they are wild, they are called Caribou. However, the Yupik people can call them whatever they want to.
