People of the Seal

- This award-winning film explores the centuries-old connection between the northern fur seal and the Unangan natives of Alaska's Pribilof and Aleutian Islands in the middle of the Bering Sea. Aquilina Lestenkof traces five generations of her own family's history in this remote part of the world, weaving together native, Russian, and American cultural threads. At the heart of the story, are the fur seals. Like the Unangan, the fur seals are struggling to survive. As Aquilina says, 'if they're not here, then we won't be either.'
"People of the Seal" has been recognized in the following ways:

That was fantastic.
It is hard to find good Alaskan history on youtube, but this was exceptional.
my first time finding something that went in depth.
Thank you for this most interesting and fascinating view into your culture. I am half Italian, Scott Irish and 1/4 Cherokee Indian.
My best friend Jean Black Elk was full-blooded Lakota and Oglala Sioux. We were friends for 50 years until she crossed over to the Stars. I know more about being a Lakota then being Cherokee Indian. I was raised on the shores of Lake Erie not in North Carolina - Cherokee country. The Erie Indians of our area up here on the Great Lake had to move east and assimilate with the Seneca Indians.
❤excellent video. The Aleutians are rarely talked about these days. Thank you for the history and the perspective you provided. Watching from Hawaii. 🌴🌺🏄♂️🏊🏼♂️
I hope that the Unangan and their culture, heritage, language and traditions survive as much as I wish the same for the Kel Tamachek (Touareg), Machiguengua, Kogi, Gaels, Aymará and Imazighen, people I have lived with and whose languages I have learned to keep them alive.
These people are my family. Melovidov's are my grandparents. I am proud of my Aleut heritage. St. Paul Island is a beautiful island, that time has forgotten.
I would love to visit this area, there is so much we can learn from these people and their heritage. Susan do you still have close connection with the islands and regular communication with family there?
maybe time respected St Pauls island so much it gave it some space
Probably Milovidov which means in Russian "Pretty Looking". If Melovidov - "Mel"-"Chalk", Vid-Appearance-Looking".
What a coincidence, I have two aunts who very closely resemble Aquilina Debbie Lestenkov, Only, they are surnamed Kong and are Cantonese. I could probably pass for a distant cousin to these folks. Lends some possibility to Han/Mongolian migration theories.
It was a happy life there until the Government got involved.
An Aleut right here shout out from Cali!! Saving up for culture camp!
Check into it..they will pay for you to attend Culture Camp!
It is interesting to learn that Russians mixed with the local population to make it into bilingual societies, while the Americans decided to deprive the local population of its own language.
Frank B Yep, Russians simply expanded their territory politically, (since us Siberian Indigenous people weren’t doing politics on a global scale) The treatment of Indigenous Siberians by Slavic Russians was 10000x better than how Europeans treated Indigenous Americans. When Ivan The Terrible did try to conquer the Chukchi, and realized he couldn’t, it led to trade, peace, and mutual understanding between the Russians and Chukchi. So yeah, Russia didn’t really hurt Siberians in any significant way. :)
As someone with Cree ancestry, i empathize deeply with these folks and their story. Even still, it's just not accurate to say they were the only captive labor force ever held by the American government. While American slavery usually took the guise of private ownership, its a fine distinction in my book. Slavery is slavery. It's wrong, whatever the corporate organization looks like behind the scenes.
I think it's sweet that her husband takes part in her cultural traditions.
Always been curious about the socio-anthropological aspects and cultural identities of those native to this global region. This was enjoyable as well as informative, thank you!
Thank you! Amazing. I am a direct descendant of the LOST village of Attu, AK
She said that their people are a constant threat of extinction...waaoo, that is so sad to hear. When she said that, I almost cried 😔

My grandfather, Lambert Joseph Wigle, married to Roxanne Hoffman, a baby taken from Wounded Knee and adopted to the Hoffman's in Kingsville, Ontario. He can be seen pitching hay and chopping wood in suit clothes and hat. I was sent to a reserve school three times between 4 - 7 and wrote the RCMP, "this is a Nazi camp" German Diefenbaker era. But, there I met aboriginals from South America that were sent to reform school for stealing, vagrancy, left behind by parents or parents arrested and deported without them and they did not understand that they were illegals, right? My stay was brief...out the window. I have special sadness for the northern aboriginals as I lived on the Balsam Creek old reserve wherein the weather dropped down to the same as Siberia...50 degrees F below. The Dutch co took over Hudson Bay that was always French/aboriginal without payment. And, it is only in the news. It still belongs to aboriginals.
The Eastern Orthodox religion is not true Christianity, please study carefully this website I am making, and pray. I love Eskimo people, that is why I was studying this documentary.... www.easternorthodoxchristian.com/
This website is full of misinformation. Worry about your own salvation instead of worrying about who is a “real christian” smh.....
Jesusandbible
Of course, your disdain for the religion a majority of Russians follow is probably from your hate of Russians. You seem like an old man (judging by your profile picture) so I’m not surprised that you still have a Cold War mindset. I am Siberian Eskimo, and I understand that the colonization of some of the Siberian groups was in the past. It was also led by Tsar Ivan The Terrible. The same guy who killed his own son and enslaved his own people. Don’t blame some idiots actions on all of Russian Slavs or Eastern Orthodoxy. The guy who conducted the colonization was a non-white man however, and most of his soldiers were non-Slavic. (His name is Yermak Timofeyovich) In addition, the rest of Russia’s colonization was done by Peter The Great, the guy who wanted to Europeanize Russia. He took away the general non-European culture, because he believed European cultures to be superior. (Note: Russia had extreme West asian, Central asian, and Northern asian influence. Most people in Russia were mixed with other races.)
Russian Orthodoxy does not worship idols. The icons are simply meant to represent Jesus and the saints, and to remind us of them. We also do not pray to saints or Mary, we ask them to pray on behalf of us in heaven. A priest does not forgive our prayers, he asks God to forgive our prayers. We do not have a pope, we have a patriarch, who we do not worship. The Catholics however, do worship the pope, as well as a figure called “black Mary” (she’s not meant to be African, she’s just the color black) That is what truly sounds “satanic” to me. Religions cannot be to blame for this, it is people using the guise of religion to accomplish their agendas. The treatment of Indigenous people in Russia is *MILES* better than whatever happened in the Americas. *_Indigenous people in Russia still have their dignity, and the Slavs learned to respect us, and left us alone. They are far more honorable than your European colonists. Russian Slavs did not colonize in your European sense, it was more like conquering. The land that Russia has now is a result of political conquering, not literal colonization. The only group I can think of that was “conquered” by the Slavs was the Yakuts._* Take your disgusting, inaccurate, anti-Russian agenda elsewhere. Russia is a nation full of many different races. Russia does not belong to Slavs, because there is no such thing as being “ethnically Russian” Being “Russian” is _strictly_ a nationality, not an ethnicity.
@@Jesusandbible Not really. I am a Catholic (of sorts) (so on the other side of the main split - Orthodox and Catholic of the old days and there is not a huge difference.
ab Unangan right here i love my culture and learning how to speak it
Amazing video! Thank you for uploading it!
Incredible film and narration! I have lived in Alaska all my life and always dreamed of making a trip to the Aleutians. This film confirms that I NEED to ASAP! Sad story-- hopeful future though!
Fascinating ! Thank you.
When I was growing up I didn't understand the importance of culture camp. Being only 1/4th Aleut, I never tried to learn the Aleut language or understand its culture. Now at 24 years old, I realize how indigenous cultures around the world are being white washed, and its more important than ever to those who are descendent of indigenous people to claim their roots, learn the traditions, and keep the language alive. There are far too few full blooded Aleuts today, hopefully this will change in the future.
Robert, please understand that we are all here on God's great earth by way of Him. Regardless of how one culture may have "invaded" another's , this earth we are on is not ours to begin with. God (to be culturally and politically correct) or The Higher Power we as "People" pray to and give thanks to, is the one whom created it(earth), as my aunt said in the video "we" are visiting here. Yes some cultures did other cultures wrong by how they welcomed themselves as well as helped themselves upon entering the other's, land, but think about how much they knew. It was not always pleasent but it has made us who we are today. I hold no grudges and us as a society have to give thanks to God/Higher Power for only does He have the power to end us all.
@@byronmandregan5982Stop. You have absolutely no right to bring up that crap here. Christianity was part of the driving force in the cultural genocide against First Nations people. Literally robbing them of their culture and heritage to replace it with “Christian values”.
Leave people ALONE. If you want to believe in the Christian god, that’s great for you, but stop trying to force it on other people, especially in the replies on a video about First Nations people. Honestly how dare you.
very nicely done. Great history for us to pass on!
Amazing, thank you for making this public.
hey very cool deal thanks for sharing. my Grandpa was there in WW2, never realized that the natives were still paying for it decades later...
Bless your words
Thank You for sharing!

This is cool
"kluuchin"--keys, is a Russian word. In Russian it's "kluuchi". Probably because Unangan natives didn't need keys before Russians showed up.
Overall, excellent film. Powerful forces controlled this land for so long, but it seems the Natives are the ones getting screwed over and over again.
Things have improved! The Seal skin hat sold to me during Good News Bay herring fishery, was $300 in 1994!
The liver of the seal is eternal life!
Great documentary, and you looks so pretty with those tattoos in your face.
that’s me 1:30
The great-great-grandmother's name Nedezhda (rather: Nadiezhda) means hope in Russian.
Amazing documentary. A history I hardly knew anything about but it was fascinating. A really complex and unique story.

there was a viral video showing people clubbing seals and it looks like it was In Canada. I suppose commercial harvesting of seals is still going
Hi from Stockholm sweden 🙂✋🏻, its very beutiful place 😊
Thank you for this educational video .
As an American citizen, I apologize and am angered at my government's mistreatment of your people and all native Americans. Not that my sentiments can change anything, but I hope and pray there are never any repeats in the future. I hope you are successful in restoring the culture, and that you can again be allowed the use of the fur seal in a sustainable way, and be given freedom as American citizens yourselves.
hey buddy were America too
-an unangan from the pribs
That is a fascinating programme. Thank you for that. As to the question half way through how not to be angry for the past I suppose we could all be angry. the Romans and the French conquered the UK. more recently in the 1800s mentioned on the programme my ancestors were mining coal underground some by age 10 years of age. They had nothing. I just forget about that, get a good education and do better. We can only all live in today. If we go back to being angry about the past it tends not to make us happier - same for all the women in my family subject, almost owned by men in the UK the 1800s. That was then and now we do better.
I can see why they liked the Greek Orthodox church. It is like the highest of high church in my Roman Catholic church with gorgeous music and paintings - both are the best of religion.
The seals could go down due to a lack of fish. And, the same with birds. Less fish less birds.
The women have such beauty, there are really almost no words to describe.
11:41 he says, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am Montagnard jarai tribe indigenous like this film .
"Qayiq" in our Turkic languages means "Boat" - "Kayak" in Aleut language.
Jo-h-nali-Sanjarbek Sarkaev don’t kill the fairies jk
That's very interesting, but are you trying to make some kind of point?
Steven Hall Eskimos came from Siberia. Siberians are Turkic people. (Not to be confused with Turkish) The fact that Eskimos are related to Turkic people, is the point he was trying to make. No need to be so hostile.
"Qajaq" in Greenlandic.
Very obvious that the languages has the same origin.
@MartinaBC19 me to
I feel so sorry for what app to they :-( :-(
Got it, St Pauls island.
sorry folks this is a horror story from beginning to end for all concerned, human or seal. good luck
😃👍
Not with Fukushima dumping water. Thank you I have question who live there originally.
Lambert can be seen in the Utube video, "Pain Court, Ontario historique 1". I wonder if you could apply for a free loan from the government to create a fish farm?
Scurvy -Цинга-Tsinga.
It's your right you don't have to explain anything to anyone hold on to the tradition and culture (NZ))
Where is this town please, like to Google earth the world
Teach me how to go to the super market cause i gt lots ?
This video made me so mad. It pisses me off that such a wonderful, generous culture of people were devastated in this way. It is yet another reason why it is my dream that abrahamic religions will fade away into the box of lies that it is. I am bowing in your direction.
..... uh, okay?
Promishlenniki-Промышленники-Industrylizers.
The US Government must apologize for the ill treatment of indigenous people and give compensation for Unangans who lost everything during WW2.
Mary Myers you need to apologize for being such a entitled libturd, you killed their fur industry. you are rotten.
don't hold your breath
They did, they have....
Acts 3:21 - times of - *restoration* of all things.... Looking at Biblia, one can see what was before ....and thus know the ways, that will be restored. And thus know why,? some longstanding ways of life are "passing away" - 1John2:17. God bless you Слава Богу !!!! Ефе.5:20
So DO PEOPLE IN THIS 2 ISLAND$ ST GEORGE & ST PAUL * GET RUSSIAN CHANELS ON 📺 TV * FREQUENCY ANTENNA WAVES ? OR USA ALASKA 📺 TV CHANNELS ?
The over fishing of the industrial fishing boats, the red tide's, & the warming of areas in the far north are all reasons for the fur seals decline. The navies of the world dumping their radioactive waist from their subs and ships are also to blame most likely. Ozone & underwater earthquakes & volcanoes erupting beneath the surface of the ocean. All these could be the causes plus other unknown things.
Should've said fur from seals.
There may be small condolence about the churches in that aboriginals needed proof of entrance into Canada. The names would have been logged and sent back to Russia, Italy or Norway. The BC aboriginals have an Italian dna mixed and their language is a form of Italian/Latin and sometimes mixed with Hawaiian. Norway? Norway also built teepees and many of their customs were similiar to the Sioux. You girls look Apache so do you have dna mix of Inuit/Spanish/Russian mixture? Apache is tricky as Wounded Knee was not just one dna. It was multicultural...some had Portuguese. I have ties with Pine Ridge but not the Portuguese nor the modern day would be Sioux the Turks. Aboriginals needing proof can go back to the church baptisms. I had relatives in the UK that could speak Russian which surprised me but when the "whites" were coming it was the Kings sending their relatives to marry into tribes to gain land rites, etc. Pain Court, Ontario is an aboriginal reserve but you probably would not realize it if you were driving through it. The skin is white, mostly, with red cheeks and dark hair and the language was French but not like the French of Montreal nor France as they were cut off from Europe for so long. They were named squatters and gathered into Fort Malden to draw a line for their own protection and took on the English or German or French names.
.the Saami people also called Laplanders of northern Norway,Sweden and Finland lived in tipis, although they differed from Plains tipis in the fact that they didn't have smoke flaps, and they were not culturallý nor racially related to the Norse or the Finns, but were more closely related to the other arctic Reindeer herders that ranged through northern Russia to Siberia and are related to the Inuit peoples. Oh and by the way, the Apaches are an Athabaskan people like their close relatives the Navajo who call theirselves "Dine'" as do the Athabaskans of Alaska and Canada, the ancestors of Both the Navajo and Apache migrated to the southwest approximately 800 years ago, and the Navahos language is still virtually identical to the Athabaskans of the north while the Apache language has changed some, it is still understood by both the Navajo and the northern Athabaskans, and I myself am Oglalla Lakota (Sioux) and the massacre at Wounded Knee happened on my reservation PINE RIDGE South Dakota, and involved Lakota people being killed, so just where does this Potugeese and Italian shit your talking about come in, and what kind of ties do YOU have with the Sioux, the Lakota Oyate makoce kin He Sapa yelo!???
iris wigle The Europeans didn’t try to peacefully marry into Native American tribes. Maybe some of those Indigenous people you talk about, look “white” because of rape, or forced loss of culture, which resulted in marrying white people.
Russia was certainly more peaceful with the indigenous people, and they didn’t do anything in a European sense (until Russia was later Europeanized by Peter the Great, who thought European customs and values were better than Russian ones.) After the earlier Russians realized that they couldn’t own the land that the tribes had, they respected the tribes, and started to trade, and have a mutual understanding with them. Russia politically conquered Siberia, because none of the tribes were on the world stage when it came to politics, like Russia was. So, Indigenous people lived their own lives, without having to worry about Chinese or other country relations. That could be left to Russia. Also, the new trade routes from Asia to Russia to Siberia helped the indigenous people in many ways. I have absolutely no hate for those ancient Russians as a Siberian Yupik. They never hurt us in a significant way, and our political association with them, helped us stay safe from Chinese warriors who _did_ want to kill us.
THE IMPORTANT PART:
You say some of the Native Americans you have seen “look Russian” I am assuming you mean Slavic, as there is no such thing as being “ethnically Russian” Being “Russian” is strictly a nationality. So, people can’t “look Russian”
Your culture could not go back 9,000 years because i live by the creation museum and the Noah's ark encounter ken ham said the earth is only 6,000 years old ..L.O.L somehow god forgot to tell the eskimos & Chinese peoples about the earths age....L.O.L...
I suggest to you that, prior to you having (open mouth, insert foot) the desire to leave a remark of such, to do a bit of research. For at your finger tips is the whole world for one's mind to learn from. Has no one said to you " look before you leap" ? I am in no way trying to create an argument, simply asking you to take a moment and do some searching, be it for information or maybe even some cases a bit of "soul" searching. Thank you.
sad facts, human are very brutal beings -.-
I see sea lions, not seals?
Those are Northern fur seals on the beach
@@johnruko7091 wow, learned something new today, thanks!
What if they quit buying your skins?
Oh wait, they did, and that is the crutch for your gripe now...
Inuit's are less mixed then Aleut's it appears on average even when watching from the first few minutes of this video I could tell these people were racially hybridizations. At least most of them.
I suppose we all are really. I am 3% Neanderthal genes even and all of us 100% of us came from Africa if you go back far enough.
Sad.but were they live.they have no choice but to kill to servive.I'll do the same if I was in the same situation as them.
The people have seal harvesting so they have meat to survive the winter months. They also have halibut, sea lion and many of the birds are edible. They have berries and pootchies. I was fortunate to visit in 2013, the sounds and smells are so amazing. The seals are not hunted for their fur anymore. The people in the village/community take care of each other the best they can.
Qooqa
Poor seals
I totally agree.
Sikhism is the way....
been to saint paul most inbred place ive ever been to wonder why this video leaves it out
Poor poor natives )-;
You could say the same things about coal miners in Pennsylvania and West Virginia living in company houses shopping at the company store. I'm tired of hearing about how everyone is a victim!
no comparison.
Same with when the irish and chinese came here. There are many books written on the irish slave trade. The Irish were slaves before Africans and valued lower. They often were used as mine and railroad labor then dumped in mass graves. At one point the Irish made up 20% of the us military hoping to earn more freedom and rights in 1800s. The Irish also formed the first gangs in to defend themselves from others in new york.
She doesn't speak the language, she doesn't hunt or fish, she lives and speaks like an american, is she cristian? But my god!! She has a face tattoo and she's soooo proud of her culture....
