Eskimo Hunters

This is a 1949 film about the life of a traditional Eskimo family in northwestern Alaska. When this film was shot, Alaska was still a territory and would not become a state for another ten years. Many Eskimos still lived their traditional way of life. I'm afraid things have gotten worse for them, not better, with the encroachment of outside civilization. This is a fascinating view of the day-to-day activities of these resourceful people.
