The Inuits have a strong bond because,people would go and catch fish for their neighbors without being asked. “ Our neighbor brought us a fish for supper because he had so much left, this is how you know he is one of the best fishers here..” Therefore, this could tell that since they are neighbors they have a strong bond because they see each other like everyday so they have a strong bond and maybe one did something for another so in appreciation he gave him fish. They have a strong bond from being neighbors so they get dinner for each other and see each other everyday and might have even grew up with them. So now they could have a strong bond.

The Inuit would have needed to understand the natural patterns of Arctic wildlife because, they did not have very much wifi or internet. “We don't have very much internet here, but we do have radios that have little connection and are sometimes hard to hear out of.” Because they don't have very good internet, this tells that they did

    And “the temperature was somewhat lower, and it did not seem to be important in the minds of the Inuit people anyway.” Clearly, Mr. Sivertz has no understanding of the differentiation between different indigenous groups, including Inuit natives. He also generally assumes that anything considered the geographic “north” (which is thousands of square kilometers) is the same in resources and climate, and therefore wrongly presumes that the Inuit should have had no problem adapting to it.

    In a recent article published by The Guardian titled "Canadian gin company's campaign accused of cultural appropriation", we are shown the exploitation of Canada's Inuit population by gin company, Ungava. Cultural appropriation is the act of "borrowing" particular cultural elements and often in business, using them for profit.

The general consensus in the Inuit community is that Ungava appropriated Inuit culture in order to sell their gin. This article ties into chapter 3 because it relates to culture and business.…

    The Inuit are the first aboriginal people to create and establish a self-governing territorial government; this was a major key to self-determination and a newer and brighter future for Inuit. In the early 1950’s, the pressure to change increased dramatically as Inuit were moved into permanent settlements by the federal government. These permanent settlements provided access to schools, health care and the technologies of the modern world. Some families moved to avoid famine and the hardships of life on the land and to take advantage of the benefits that the community life had promised.…

    First, their food is quite different from that of the Iroquois and the Sioux. Their common food includes seals, walruses, Beluga Whales, narwhals, caribou, Musk Oxen, Arctic Fox, Polar Bear, Arctic Hare, and arctic birds. They have a different variety of these foods because they live in a different and colder environment that produces the different foods. Secondly, their techniques for hunting and their tools are disparate. When they are fishing, the Inuit attached sealskin floats to harpoon heads (with lines), which keeps the animal close to the surface after being killed.…

To make the footage as real as possible Flaherty did many reenactments to get the feel across. Flaherty asked his cast to participate in things that they had never done in an attempt to make the film more appealing and to stand out more because at this point their culture had evolved. Instead of using spears, they had evolved into using rifles which Flaherty did not include their evolvement.…
