    When life was simple. No egos. No politics. No inflation. Just being alive.
  • My mother taught in Nome in 1946. She recalls a school assembly where the kids watched the hunters butcher a seal. They wrapped up choice parts for kids to take to their grandparents. I taught school for 34 years and we never had an assembly like that. She revisited Nome in her 80s and the people were overjoyed that she had photos from those times. She left them with community. They were delighted to see pictures of elders they had never met, only heard about.

    This man is a hero. Works super hard for his family. I wish he had a youtube channel
  • This is the real deal, like a time machine going back thousands of years. I’d also like to see more about the frozen prehistoric animals in the permafrost.

    Seal walks into a bar to get some drinks..the bartender says “what will you be having tonight?” The seals barks out “anything but a Canadian Club!!”
  • @druinjun5668

  • On behalf on being a Inuk myself, thanks for the comments. We try to keep the culture alive. People still hunt and people still sew and people still make these stuff as well but only if we’re out on the land. I remember catching my first seal with my fishing nets, good times.

    Amazing hunting skills to stalk SO CLOSE to that seal. Here we also were able to hear the hunter immitate the animal's sounds so as to further assuage it into relaxing. Very funny how the seals were looking at him for long moments, probably thinking: "Cousin Gilbert, we told you NOT to go eating all that pollock this year and stick to the Char. See how it has given you congestion!!" Haha!
