Anything, I am really interested in Alaska and they way people live in such a harsh environment and the things that are important to them.

[@egordo2]

I'm interested in the old technologies.

[@asitsrivastava9047]

old ways survival... heating methods

My family is from south Texas and from Arizona. 100 years ago would put my Great Grandfather talking to my grandfather about electric lines, water in pipes, and smoke making autos to replace the mule and horse and the way of living. This work on the Eskimos helps me to appreciate this people's way of life, but ours too. Much respect to these people because they are stronger than the cold. The world has changed so much for all of us.

I just want to say the music that was playing at this time was red river jig. A song that the Metis people would play and dance too.

I love Inuit art.

[@michaelkorenek6047]

I didn't know how Kenojuak did her art like that but, she did a brilliant job developing her own skills by making enough Inuit cultural artwork by memory, and this documentary video is pretty much relaxing when it comes to appreciating her artwork.

Lol this is Nunavut, Canada not Alaska. So you better love eating seal meat/ blubber , caribou meat and lichen that’s fermented in the stomach of these caribou (only source of plant vitamins you’ll get) unless your a millionaire that can afford $40 for a watermelon

All other thought aside, I had to think, Thank God for dogs! (And so thankful that I live in Arizona)

[@BigpapamoneymanMVPtypebeat]

To bad our 🇨🇦 government killed around15,000 of their rare breed of Canadian husky in 1960s to stop them from being nomadic, Almost wiping out the dog breed and killing many villages

[@matthewmann8969]

Eskimos And Aleuts are more closely related then either are to Amerindians yeah
