Whale hunting is very important to all these nimcompoots
I’m part Choctaw, and I’m trying to reconnect with my roots. I am semi-familiar w/ my irish and french blood, but I want to learn more about this part of me too. Lovely video <3
Beautiful culture. Amazing how the whale brings the community together. That’s how humans should live
Hi
I'm always trying to seek videos with my family in them....here is one my cousin John Nusunginya
Lol we are one we cannot live without each other. Hmm I'm pretty sure the whales can live without innuit
People who live in surburbia and do not know how to subsist or coexist with their environment should not have an opinion on people who have learned to live in cooperation with their environment, and have done so for hundreds of thousands of years.
The poor, defenseless whale likely did not enjoy getting harpooned and sliced-up that afternoon. Just sayin'.
This whale can easily demolished all those boatss if want
raven baby....got it
2009- .. BRUH THIS WAS A YEAR AFTER I WAS BORN-
Uhh-
when all whale dies because of you all, whom will you hunt ? answer is your own community people God should curse you and your community.
Gotta love a finatic.u r a Fool
Sunny fool
Please hold ur breath while u wait for the resurrection
This is beautiful as our cultures are the same giving thanks to God for the harvest. Utilizing the entire animal is respectful and beautiful. Only some know the importance of the calories & probiotics the animal gives which our bodies need for survival. Here is to a good harvest for the years to come. I am Aztec and I understand your cultures and way of life
One must respect,protect and preserve the creature that his life depends upon for survival......
The man they hunt in the whale
Animals have no soul that's why we can eat them
@69newportking Every living thing has a soul. If animals don't have a soul, that means they are not living, moving, nor alive. If animals don't have souls, neither do we, cause we are animals.
He says we are one with the whale and cannot live without each other bullshit that whale would live just fine without you
Whaling should be banned. Period. No subsistence whaling, no commercial whaling. If you don't like it, then too bad. No culture is worth the loss of whales.
klutz395 subsistence hunting affects less than 1 percent of the whales and is strictly regulated. They do it to survive.
Our ancestors aint never said the drum sticks had no got-dang "magic power"; Get that asinine, Nordic-shamanism crap the hell outta here! LITERALLY!
I call whale hunting: A MURDER SPORT!!! Whale hunting should be completely ILLEGAL!!! Whales are intelligent sentient beings that shouldn't be killed for survival or sport.

@Joey Quintana You mean Alaskan Mongols? They are of Mongolian origin, that arrived to Alaska 800 years ago through boats, theh are not Indigenous. These Inuit Mongols are cruel, just as their ancestor Genghis.
@@ShiningGalaxy01what are you on dude?
@@yqbzrxs If your asking me what drugs I am taking, I never took any, once in my life.
@@ShiningGalaxy01yeah you’re definitely on drugs and they arrived to the arctic pole 4000 years ago and if they were mongol they would speak a close language
I’m pretty sure the whale would live just fine without you bud. Lol 0:32
We're Eskimos And Amerindians not already attacking each other before Whites arrived?
Don't Europeans attack each other on a regular basis?
@matthew mann The Algonquin red man refer these Yellow Mongol Inuit hordes as Eskimo(which an algonquin language, means those who lost blood, or eater of raw flesh), which is what they really do. The Algonquins related these Mongol Inuits(who they called Eskimos) to the Wendigo.
Any one know the name of the hymn that they sang at 4:28 or who was singing, Thank you
its called anguläleh langele
the guy in the beginning is funny when he says without each other they can't live haha.. dumb ass pretty sure the whales would live without ya
Everybody have different ways of living ! if you take away the gas and electricity from this world, the big cities would crumble and turn into a concrete jungle. so think twice before you judge cultures and traditions becoz they will survive in the cold dark world ! chek
absolutely beautiful
nice
kill everybody of These ugly motherfuckers they look like shit i would kill EVERYBODY THERE !!!! FUCKING YOUR CULTURE SON OF BITCHES
FUCK OFF SNOWFLAKE TRY TO LIVE IN THE NORTH DUMBASS I BET YOU CAN'T LIVE IN BELOW ZERO
This is how you co-existe with nature. Sadly most of the rest of the world has forgotten how to do that.
1:53 I guess...only the Inupiaq would make a comment about good ice for consumption....
part two
Prior to the 20th century the Alaska Inupiaq people never use the island as a permanent settlement. Only for hunting (for a limited time each year). Somehow the message was lost in the 20th century when they planted roots and stayed year-round. The area is basically permafrost. Not the best condition. Global Warming people are not eager to bring up this point..... Years ago they voted to leave the island. Yet they are still there. Passing judgement silently.
why is this video trying to romanticise whale hunting ?
Adamski51 They aren’t. These people are highly reliant on subsistence hunting in order to survive. They don’t waste anything. I don’t like it when people hunt whales, but I am okay with the people who hunt them for survival.
This is how whale hunts should be, not like the Japanese and their fleet of commercial whaling vessels with *RESEARCH* painted on the side in hopes of fooling people into thinking they're doing the whales a scientific favor as they profit millions from a lie. One whale to feed a village, not over 300 whales to feed Japanese bank accounts...
I have a lot of admiration for subsistence hunters. They rely on wild animals in order to survive and I don't think I'd ever be able to live like they do. It's not fun to watch if you aren't used to it. However, once you realize what they go through, you start to have a bit of respect for them
He says in the beginning of the video that man and whale cannot live without each other......I'm sure the whale begs to differ.....
luuke luketer It’s part of their culture. They have to eat sea animals in order to survive.
I have to laugh at all the "anti" comments. Aboriginal North Americans have always hunted for food. It is our culture. I noticed some time ago that most antis are Caucasian city dwellers that have no REAL clue about our natural world or even basic biology. The real threat to ALL wildlife is the ever expanding human population, pollution, and the habitat loss due to the cities you live in. That makes YOU the biggest threat to the wildlife on this planet, Not the Aboriginal people hunting for food.
+Rob Le Chasseur They don';t know how to survive off the land Bob. They have become too reliant on society/riches and lost the connection with nature. Don't try arguing with them Bob its pointless- environmentalism is a anti-human cult which has no basis in reality.Their still doing commercial long line fishing now they never talk about that....maybe those companies pay those greenies to keep them off their back. They show you can harvest nature in moderation and manage better than most computers and academics put together and for them that should be humbling.
+Rob Le Chasseur Well said. Conservation is important, but our ancestors have co-existed with wild life for centuries. I am a firm believer that an Animal should have just one bad day.
Well said. City people can all die to make life great again
I keep my spear,knifes, axe, bow etc always ready. I lived the life off the land. Ate Bambi and Thumper most people would starve if they had to kill to eat. Not to many vegs out there. You said it all thumbs down and anti comments. No clue until ?
Metis Rob well said. Native cultures have lived in balance with the environment for millennia. Hunting wales have been part of the Inupiat subsistence for thousand of years. It's rather different from going to the supermarket and buying the " visually sanitized" cuts of meat.
Comical
I think that if the U.S. government banned beef, chicken and pork, some of these self-righteous name-callers would be singing a different tune.
U got that right...lol
Wow, interesting video.. thanks for the upload! I love the Iñupiaq people and their culture.
Thank u
I really appreciate this video. A native woman from Barrow encouraged me to google and watch some of these videos. She also explained the hunt, how it's done and its significance to her people. It was clear she had taken part in it. What she told me grabbed my heart. I discovered I was woefully ignorant on the subject and when I saw this, I was in tears. This video is one of the reasons I'm going to Barrow next year. I'll never be the same.
What village do you live in?
If you want to see more, there is a show on Netflix called Human Planet
If our government decided to ban consumption of meat and raising stock for slaughter, we'd begin to understand where native Alaskans are coming from. I don't think people realize how much beef and other meets are intertwined into our culture. No, we don't spiritualize this, but just imagine, no more steak barbecues, no more hot dogs at the baseball game. No more Thanksgiving turkey. My family wouldn't even bother to have a 4th of July picnic if we couldn't barbecue steaks or hamburgers. I know there are vegetarians out there, but most people in this country still eat these meats and we don't understand what a shock it would be if they were suddenly unavailable.
Shelley Magnussen what is your point? If you are comparing the whale hunt in this video to factory farming in America, there are no similarities. Americans don’t even associate the meat they eat with a living animal because it is so far removed from their minds. Therefore the two cannot be compared. You have no relationship with any animal you eat, you just eat because you like to eat, never taking a moment to think about the incredible sacrifice made for you and your overweight family.
This is as Nobel an exercise as a man could undertake. Very cool tradition combining danger, food, skill and family...I can't name a religion which beats that.
Family?
Ray Quigley Many of these people are Christian. Just listen to them prayinghere. When word comes that they've caught one, businesses and schools close. Everyone takes part in bringing the whale ashore and cutting it up for processing. I very recently met a lady who is a spokesman for this tribe. She has taken part in these harvests. When she explained the process, I was spellbound. I discovered how seriously wrong I was. Humbling.
Pretty sure the tradition began 1,000's of years before a christian prayer book arrived in the region. Just saying...what?!
Ray Quigley That doesn't mean some of them aren't Christian. That's like saying I can't claim I'm Christian and drink water because people drank water before Christianity came to be.
Shelley Magnussen The tradition of eating whales to survive in the Arctic has absolutely nothing to do with any religion from the middle east; such as christianity.
