It's not that the dogs were loose the new settlers came in and started trading alcohol and it affected the community of a non-violent community. It astonishes me that to this day my Northerners don't feel safe around the police. Who shot down our dogs and I am Laura Nungaq and I've been told, Son Panik.
Thank you for uploading this eye-opening documentary to TH-cam. I was just reading Sheila Watt-Cloutier's book "The Right to be Cold" in which she refers to this documentary.
What a beautiful movie with so many good messages. I hope every inuit kid gets a chance to reconnect with as much of their culture as they possibly can. The arctic people traditionally value kindness and a sense of balance and fairness not found in western society.
Even when I was so young watching this I would get emotional and To this Day I always Tear up at some scenes and how touching it is and I was born in 1997 hahah
