You've got to watch the full movie.

@@johntikluk 'The Journals of Knud Rasmussen'. It's directed by the same guy who did 'Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner'. Both are tremendous movies.

*I heard of one native tribe that were atheist for a long time since.* Wish I knew the name.

they still need to place their faith in Christ or they are doomed

It's humbling to hear my elders speak of, to be instilled with the past while trying to connect with the modern world. I'd like to thank some on this thread for being respectful, for their thoughts & views of my culture & similar cultures as they're Inuit & I am Siberian Yupik. There is one comment on this thread where I'd like to say something in response. However, that would bring up for me many years of traumatic pain in that all of the missionaries who came to our village to convert us by use of physical assault, cutting our hair, shoving soap into our mouths whenever asking a question in our native tongue, but I'm sure they wouldn't want the truth to be told. It's presumptive & myopic in the least to be telling others who conflict with another's right of life that they're "doomed."

overpopulation

@@truthseek3017 Fun fact: Overpopulation is a fear that isn't really justified. Turns out that we aren't reproducing at an unprecedented rate. In fact, with the population increase comes a decrease in worldwide poverty. www.economist.com/briefing/2011/10/22/a-tale-of-three-islands

@@korvaamiko66 we have a very primitive fundamental financial system. the model is based on the first one we've come up with and is basically a more complicated version of a chimp trying to get a bigger pile of bananas that the other chimps...

*Inuit. There is no letter S in inuit word. Because the word inuit is already a plural word.

I smoke weed so i know how that feels

Michaela Kealohilani if someone sees angels, ghosts, demons, talks about God telling them to do something isn’t that also hallucinating?

What if you're wrong?

I never met a shaman who wasn't crazy, as someone once said.

@@vincenttomalonis1804 There is - no doubt - the act of hallucinating. But are all such instances of what you mentioned hallucinating?

@@SirBlackReeds One must always consider how consistent and coherent one's beliefs are with reality. No doubt some shaman lead their people onto destructive paths, while others were the salvation of their people's needs be they spiritual and/or material. When I consider the modern world and those who have created modern values, I wonder if they are leading us onto a destructive path.

The full title to this movie is: The Journals Of Knud Rasmussen. I highly recommend this purely Indigenous film brought to you from Zacharias Kunuk.

The film is great. It is inspired by the actual Journals Of Knud Rasmussen; he was a half-Inuit, half-Danish guy from Greenland who travelled across the Canadian Arctic in the 1920s doing ethnographical/anthropological research. His 'Journals' were published in book form; I've never read them, but they should be available somewhere.

And we must do better for Mother Earth.

Just write single word, inuit. Not inuit people, because inuit means people.

*Inuit. There is no letter S in inuit word, because the word inuit is plural word.

West my computer erred on the link. Could you tell me what it was?

Terri Hosford Terri, I don't know what link you are asking for. Could you give me more to go on?

West Winds Just go to KZfaq and type in whatever it is you are looking for. This site does not allow us to post links; it automatically removes them.

Please don't say Eskimo, it's a racist slur believe it or not

I don't know if I could handle being a Tundra Nomadic. I mean, just imagine... months of total darkness, being out there on a freezing glacier in an igloo, having to catch food in the dark, and 120 mph storms that might last for days. And they have done this for thousands of years. Well, my hat's off to them. Anyone that thinks these folks are wimps is crazy.

***** I agree. Christianity has become some kind of scary ugly cult and a leverage tool of the RW extremists.

PS I don't agree that people should only follow the religions that their people created. What if it was Christianity? Religion is a very personal thing and each person should keep it to themselves. When groups start to proselytize, whole other agendas appear. Too much of anything and it becomes something else.

+West Winds Well I'm Scandinavian and French. So I found Norse Paganism. I am not a racists but I think only people with Scandinavian ancestry should be Norse pagan, the same way it would be wrong for me to be kemetic, because those are the Egyptian gods.

We came in after the Thule's, they were more peaceful but we(Alaskan Inuit and Canadian Inuit etc...) were more warlike nd had a lil bit more advanced weaponry like powerful bows while they had only spears and harpoons. So the Thule were much more of a primitive people than Inuit that came in later and were replaced by us Inuit.

jabames a Do you have any dates as to when the Thule came in, and also when the Inuit arrived? I read another interesting article that said there were the original Inuit which settled in Alaska but when their numbers grew, they split. Some went North (Inuvik and across to Greenland,) while others went further south and inland. The inland group split and some went even farther into AZ and NM. This article defined one difference between these genetic pools as: (1) Alaskan Inuit were fish and shellfish eaters, (2) Inland (forest) Inuit, deer and meat eaters, and (3) the last group now known as Southern Navajo became pork ranchers and eaters by tradition. I also read an article that said ALL Mongols have a blue spot at the base of their spine, but Inuit do not which only further substantiates their not being Siberian Mongol. But if, as you say, the Inuit came in after the Thule people, then who were the Inuit and where exactly in Asia did they come from? I'd also like to know where exactly the Thule came from (there is such a deficit of information it's really frustrating.) If you know of any resources, I'd be glad to know them. Are you Alaskan or Canadian Inuit? I'm totally fascinated by Inuit people. I think of all of the centuries of surviving in such hostile places (I wouldn't last two days!) and I am really in awe of their accomplishments. (I also find their/your art fascinating, too.) I think there should be more studies and documentation of your culture as there are less than thirty-five hundred Inuit on the face of the planet. I consider Inuit a living cultural treasure and we need to collect as much documented information as possible before it all disappears forever. Thank you for your post. :)

West Winds I think the Thule developed about 1000 AD to what we know of them archaeologically speaking, and they survived till maybe 1600 AD. Yeah I think we descend from the area of Japan, there's an ethnic group near there that had/has the same technology we used for hunting and stuff (I'm Yup'ik so that's what I think we're more closely related to), that would explain why we aren't directly associated with the Mongols, but we're close to em still. Hell, I can blend in with almost any Asian country or city xD.

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and can you tell me whether or not you possess a blue spot? I met a woman in California who was Inuit. She was very petite; maybe around five feet tall. Then there is Eric Schweig who is six feet two inches tall, so I'm interested in the average height of the different groups of Inuit. The reason I mention this is because I have always felt the Inuit were closely related to Koreans. Why? Because Manchuria sits just northeast of North Korea and the Manchurians were a tall tribe who became the last Chinese dynasty, the Qing (pronounced Ching) dynasty. The Han Chinese (the Qing/Manchu conquered Chinese) are much shorter, so whenever I see a very tall pure blood "Chinese", I'm wondering if I'm looking at someone with north China Manchurian genes. Korea has traditionally been a land bridge and both the Japanese and the Chinese have used it to attack each other so the Koreans have Chinese, Manchurian and Japanese blood in them, and my question has always been, "and what else?" This is why I am eager to track down the Thule people and any other groups which could have made their way to Alaska. This is what Wikipedia has to say: "Inuit are the descendants of what anthropologists call the Thule culture,[14] who emerged from western Alaska, after crossing from Siberia, around 1000 CE and spread eastwards across the Arctic.[15] This article also references our American habit of calling all of you from Alaska to Greenland "Eskimos". I know that some of you object to this term and consider it a pejorative, so I have renamed you "Tundra Nomadics" to stay out of trouble. :) I need to study the language tree of all TN's trying to unravel your mysterious past. So, you see, jabames a, you all are not only totally awesome, you are also totally fascinating!!!

West Winds Yes we are probably related to Koreans, probably more than any other asians, I don't have a blue spot. I prefer to be called Yup'ik, not eskimo or Inuit. We are short people, Indians are taller than us and usually have buck teeth, and they look way different than us Inuits, seems like they have their own distinct look, they don't look like Inuit or Asian maybe a lil bit. I'm taller than the average Inuit, 5'10" while 5'7" or shorter would be the norm nd they would be slightly built nd very skinny while me I have more Russian blood nd am taller nd built like a tank. I even have some relatives that are white looking cuz some Russians married some of my ancestors in thw 17 or late 1800s. nd yeah some Chinese have their own look too, sometimes we will get mistaken for em too but not really, we look like Japanese too a lil bit. And this one time I got mistaken for a foreign exchange student this one kid from Korea asked if I was asian xD...
