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.

    No matter how many times you watch it, it always takes you to a different world, makes you feel happy, makes you forget everything. So good, so pure....
  • I've been fortunate to have been to that very fishing weir and have met a few of the people featured in this series. One of the women, Martha Tunnuq, died of old age just about a week before my last visit to their community, Kugaaruk. She was the last woman in the village to have first hand knowledge of preparing skins for use in kayak building. Her abilities sewing skins for traditional clothing was unbelievable.

    These old documentaries feel like magic. Even though we have 4k quality today. The sounds and memories associated with these documentaries take us to a different world

    I love this series, thank you for sharing it. I have never seen these, seen other types in school as a kid, but these are so beautifully made. Thanks again. sharing it with my kids.

    It is refreshing to see their connection with the spirituality of their endeavours in the physical world, where their hunger is spoken with an apology to the fish spirits. I can respect a father who teaches that embodiment of life to children.

    What a beautiful movie. I come from a country that is very similar to this in terms of hardships up in the hills and I can relate to that. Reminds me of the simple things in life we enjoyed as my parents worked hard so that we would prosper later on in life. And look now what do we have ? Thank you for sharing this beautiful clip
  • @keieichsee
    Thank you very much for posting this video. I am indebted to you. Being a city dweller all my life it is illuminating to me. It shows me how life should be interpreted and what really is, and could be. Very enlightening indeed.

    When I was in 6th grade during the 1970's we had a program that lasted the entire school year. It was the Makos program. In the curriculum the classes learned about the Netsilik Eskimo and how they lived. It was fascinating. This video is close to what we saw. I enjoyed the Curriculum very much because I liked the outdoors. Sad to see that it's gone. I look once in a while on youtube for the Netsilik Eskimo films. They are missing quite a few but I remember this type of spear from the series. I also remember the Winter Ice and how they survived by fishing and hunting Seal. I would like to see those films back so I can look back and remember them.
