Natives!! You are one of the few who has correctly used the term when describing of the original settlers of a land. Many others incorrectly use the term indigenous, Indian, etc., which are condescending terms. After watching this video, instead of "can you believe how they live here?" I'm walking away with "what a great life they have here!".
I just subscribed 2 weeks ago and I’m a recovering drug and alcohol addict. Now I have a new addiction thanks to your channel. I don’t think my family will have a intervention for this one though. Thank you for the escape you give me.
@Eternal Life Amen to that. I've been sober for over 15 years now ( I'm not good with anniversaries) and been watching this channel for a couple of years and it does give a peace of mind, but not like the Bible, I agree.
@@LizardKing1324 I’ve been sober from heroine for 13 years 4 months 16 days. Alcohol I don’t have that memorized like heroine. What has been my biggest help is I adopted a heroine baby after 5 years of sobriety. I was able to get him from the hospital and he knows that I’m not his biological father as honesty is key to sobriety and his continued trust in me. I used heroine as a way to escape ptsd from combat and now the bond that I have with my son is like anything else. My ptsd is easily managed and the thought of loosing him due to me using keeps my head clear of even thinking about a needle. Yes this channel is awesome and definitely helps me keep my mind clear but it also helps me see how lucky and loved I am in my life.

Thank you everyone in Savoonga who took me in and showed me around. I had no idea how I'd be received and many of you opened up to me and made me feel welcome. I will never forget this life experience, it was one of my best! I have a lot of respect and admiration for you all. There are a couple more videos from the island coming soon.
It was a lot of fun bringing you around, I like meeting new people I hope you come back to visit sometimes even in the winter you'll love it. Edit: this is Sonny by the way
@@one_up907 It’s just amazing that we’re communicating on different sides of the planet. Come and visit one day but I wouldn’t blame you for never wanting to leave such a special home. That plane flight is really long!
My blood comes from here, this is my family, I am Siberian Yupik now living in Hawaiʻi. My Mom was born in Savoonga, my Dad is the Native Hawaiian. I am truly an island girl. Thank you for being so considerate while visiting and filming, it warms my heart to see this. Can't wait to see more 🙏🏼
I'm native, from the lower 48 of course. You do great justice with the respect you show other cultures. I know this will get buried. But I just want to say thank you.
Spent a year teaching with my wife on Sivuqaq. Such an amazing community. My wife passed away a few months ago and I will honor her wishes by taking our 3 children (Panaqu, Panighinaq, and Ninighinaq) back to the island this summer to reunite with our Yupik friends. Your video hitting my recommendeds is her way of showing her approval. Thank you for how respectful you were during your time on Sivuqaq.
I myself is from Savoonga, I am a young hunting captain that my father just passed down to me. I'd love to tell lots of stories that were passed down from our elders and other men older than I. We've been living on the island thousands of years, growing up my family always brought my whole family camping, and told us stories. You want stories, may ask me to tell u.
I’d love to hear stories, elder stories. They don’t do that here in the states. And yes, it is a different and horrible environment of the places I’ve been to in the mainland. Different people, different cultures, different understandings, different reactions. It’s quite exhausting actually. Enjoy your beautiful landscape and people. You are truly blessed. And more importantly, you live how it’s intended, still it seems. I adore your culture and have respect for you all. Blessings to you and yours.
Hello Theodore I'm from New Zealand. The stores you have belong to you and your family. However what will happen to them when you die, do you have children to pass them on. They are important. The native Maori language of New Zealand is being taught in school, in the future all children will speak Maori and English. There are many stories.
I would love to hear your stories, I'm native from great plains Michigan area and my grandfather use to tell us stories he died when I was young but I loved the stories. My oldest son Malachi is really into native stores from all tribes my son's were born in Alaska so stories from your tribe would be very appreciated.
I'm a lifelong Alaskan, and have travelled to all 50 states, and all over the world, and Alaska is still my favorite place, and one of the most beautiful. I'm fortunate enough to be a pilot and get to fly all over this amazing state and enjoy its breathtaking scenery.
My daughter taught school in Gambell on the other end of St Lawrence Island. It was her first year to teach after graduating college in Oklahoma. As a mother, I was scared for her. It was def a hard year for her but she loved it. She married a native Inupiat from Wainwright that she met when she taught school in Atqasuk. 10 years later, I have two Inupiat grandsons and they now live in Valdez.
In 1981, in my early 20s, I fulfilled a dream and spent 3 weeks on Baffin Island.. the power in that vastness is hard to describe. I felt so small, yet at the same time I could sense the entire world in my hand. The peace of that moment will never be forgotten.
Most people, regardless of wherever you go, are just regular folks, … it is everyone’s politician’s that create the animosity between lands, … it is as if they’re whole purpose in life, is to cause dissension among us all, …

@@joeblow5662exactly they look nothing like indigenous first nation people in the lower 48 many have brown skin and there were Australian aborigines and other dark skin islanders that mixed with them that came from south and Central America and we know Australian about came straight from Africa through the Micronesia and other islands which explains how they held on to their dark skin tone plus their climate helped and being uncontacted for over 400,000 years.
I met a couple guys from Savoonga almost 20 years ago at a summer camp. Coming from a Gwich’in village I hadn’t met much Yupik people but we became instant friends. Gwich’in-Yupik we both hunted and fished, lived on the land and played video games. There are amazing people living all over the world thank you Peter for bringing us on this adventure.

Thanks Peter! For some of us who love to learn other cultures but don't necessarily get the opportunity to travel as we either get caught up in running our daily lives (or are plain & simply lazy to do so!), your content makes a difference. Keep up the good work. It's refreshing to see unbiased reporting in this day and age.
You’re so right. For the viewers of this video, we too felt the spiritual nature of your visit. This was so spectacular to witness, and learn from. Thank you for ALL you do and then some! I’m nearly left speechless!
I really love the exposure you've provided to this Native culture. Hopefully you'll do more of these! You're fantastic, Peter. I learn so much from your content. Great job as usual!
As a native Sami from Sápmi I appreciate your respect for the people and the land.Absolutely one of your best Peter!! Can't wait for more from this trip.
@@anothermeantroll8376 you must live a very miserable life by spending your time trolling with your negativity!! You don't make me mad at all, you just make me smile knowing I am happier and a better person than you!! 🤔😉
@@anothermeantroll8376 you obviously get your satisfaction in taking it as the inside spooner sugar!! lMFAO. Your have issues because your sugar daddy is the Superior in your submissive relationship little man
This is so cool Peter. My 13 year old son watched with me and we are just spellbound by this whole part of the world that is so unspoiled and so in touch with their history and tradition. Can't wait to see the rest!
This is one of the most spectacular episodes on your channel. The energy you speak of comes through even on a screen, the sheer open, wild, yet serene landscape that is also some of the harshest & unforgiving terrain on the planet is beyond beautiful. The people are so mild mannered & respectful & totally in tune with Nature, only taking what they need for survival. That sunset at midnight was soul stirring..... everything is just so awe inspiring !
it's almost like they literally depend on one another, otherwise they'd die and suffer; so they're absolutely forced to have a "sense" of community. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT, I THINK. just a guess though
@@nataliefoss5629 I went to Bethel in 2009 with my dad who was the district natural resource conservationist at the time. Really beautiful area and nice people.
Lovely to hear your story, the aboriginal of Australia have many islands and Christina Anu is aboriginal Australian singer her biggest hit.."My Island Home".
I spent 2 weeks there doing Eye exam and ordering glasses for the Yupik people in the early 1980"s. very remote at that time. The radio had lots of static. It felt like the ( I imagined ) the early 20th century. I enjoyed it very much. We went out to the cliffs north east of town and the young people were there hanging out. We had permission from the elders of the Savoonga go there. Enjoy !!
I tell ya, I felt such peace watching and learning about these strong beautiful and resilient people. Thank you to them for allowing us all in to see and learn. I am 57 yrs old, and I've learned so much from your videos than I ever did from school. If I was a teacher I definitely would be using your videos in my classroom, the spoiled kids of today need to hear the history of these tribes, and also know and understand their ways of life today. Thank you for doing these videos ❤️
I really enjoyed watching this video. I liked listening to Sonny. Nick, the VPSO, got me with the whale bone when he said it was from a stegosaurus, lol. He was spot on with his comments about the lower 48 when talking about why he would not want to visit. I hope they are able to bring back the yearly celebration of their cultures with their Siberian Yupik neighbors.
This thing called life...the vastness and granularity is bewildering. We're all here for it... Thanks for keeping such an elegant and raw chronicle of this way point in time, Peter.
Peter, you have done a wonderful job on these docs. on Native life! Thank you!!! I wish there were more of this on Natives, so more people Americans can see how they are still being treated!! Bless you!💜👍
I got introduced to Peter's videos after his visit to my native Pakistan, and now I'm watching his visits to the remotest areas of Alaska. What a lucky guy he is.
Sunny is so cool, they all are. Really smart, personable and well informed. Such a beautiful place too. They live in paradise, which is why they're so grateful. 💗
I live in Anchorage and appreciate this glimpse into St. Lawrence. A beautiful culture and way of life. Ive only been to Bethle and surrounding villages . Its amazing.
I love the guys attitude at 22mins. People should be happy with being this far away from everyone. I feel that where I live right now and I’m in north west Ireland but grew up in city. It’s no way a comparison at all but so far away from what I took as normal and what was expected. I love how far it was from that. But this is on a totally different level, genuinely something I would love to experience. Wouldn’t last a second without help from locals though
Beautiful people! Genuinely happy, heartwarming and loving place. The way you captured this paradise is a beautiful thing. I loved every minute of this vlog, thank you for sharing with us!
Peter I came across your videos recently and I can't stop watching. I have always been intrigued by the history of Native Americans and I love this series that you are doing. The history and life styles of the Native Americans are Beautiful and simple and so in tuned with nature. You are so genuine, natural and unbias in your interviews with everyone , it shows your respect and admiration for their life styles.
Thanks Peter! I really appreciate you & your journeys, showing me places, cultures, & people that I’ll probably never get to see in person. I thoroughly enjoy every episode! Safe Travels!
I lived in Gambell when my son was 2 my dad worked at the clinic and my mom was a teacher. It was an awesome experience. We loved trying all the different foods. Bowhead was my favorite. I'm born and raised in Alaska and it was fun living in another part of Alaska and experiencing life out there.
What a wonderful and interesting journey. I liked Sonny's personality so much, reminded me of a colleague I worked with a few years ago, with that subtle and chill sense of humor. Nick was very funny too. It's amazing to ''meet'' such nice and relatable people from all over the world through your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this series with us Peter!
Nick is such a character!! He's got some great views of what's really going on in the world, and how blessed they are to live away from all the politics and crap. Great perspective!
I think he'd be in for some eye opening experiences if he travels to some lower states. Sometimes ignorance is a peaceful and wonderful thing. Wish I could live far away from the western world sometimes
Thank you to everyone for sharing your lovely town with all of us on RUclips!! It may be cold there, but this community knows what is truly important in life, and that is loving and helping one another as a community as a whole. This is EXACTLY how it was once done for thousands of years. Over time the deep state/cabal has destroyed these type communities and the family unit as a whole, because they know that together HUMANITY is MUCH stronger than they could ever be. When a community lives as a single unit, they are far stronger than a community twice their size that does not live that way. This is a PROVEN FACT!!! This is a beautiful and purpose filled way of life that needs and deserves to be preserved!! Imho
@@Kopie0830 Socialism and communism do NOT work!! The elites are on their way out. They ruled for a thousand years and it is now time to restore this planet and return her back to God's people, as it is our promised inheritance.
Multiculturalism doesn't work. It's how races and ethnicities have survived for so long. People aren't invited to other lands by the people. The government imports future voters. People are proud to be who they are and want their own nations. This global NWO isn't going to wash unfortunately for them. England is over run by British passport holders that aren't britons. Our kids have been sacrificed on the alter for diversity no one asked for. Don't let people take over.
What an honor to be allowed to see and share this life with the great village/island residents. You seemed to fit in as non-threating. Thanks for sharing
WOW, Peter, amazing. I am older women and this is something I feel I have missed. Thank you so much for this doing this and sharing. You are a very blessed man. You are drawing so much from your experience, which is helping others see the world. Thank you! Ever video is amazing and thank you. I live in the southern part of Alabama. Come visit.
The whale hunter is my favorite. With total humility and a cadre of adoring fans, he casually explains how he basically saved the village in 2020. Lower 48, take heed.
Your sharing of what you learn and seek is amazing! The people you interview can sense your safe energy to share their lives with you. I enjoy watching all your videos of your adventures!!! I am much more aware of the world we live in. You find the positive even in challenging situations.
How wonderful to get a chance to watch this. Even from watching I feel a calm in my heart. Thank you all there for the generosity of showing us around and thank you Peter for taking us with you. The main thing I’m taking away from watching this is that borders are really relative to ones personal perception which is formed by your experience. I mean I already did know that it’s easy when you look around borders are just a temporary construct. I guess this calm I feel is from experiencing a glimps of the spaciousness you guys have around but also, most probably, within ❤️ Thank you!
I am absolutely speechless on this content you are keep providing to us. Thank you! These people are so beautiful souls, has so much love, and humbleness in is heir talk…. God bless you all
@@one_up907 Yes, thank you for your hospitality & generosity in sharing your home with Peter. Through that many of us not only get to share too but also reflect on our own lives & what gives them meaning. Greetings & blessings from UK.
Whales and dolphins are my favorite animals and I do everything I can to preserve ocean life. I'm big into ocean conservation. I would rather society live like these people, sustainably using every part of the animal as they need it to survive while giving it the respect and thanks it deserves. I would much rather that than the blatant harm most of society does to the ocean and its animals by just pollution alone. These people of St. Lawrence are doing a better job at protecting the sea that gives us life, and I appreciate them 💙🌊
are you a Communist by chance? these people live humble lives under a very communal system much like Communism! there's zero Capitalism there! so are you Communist?
Holy moly. I could follow Sonny for days and just listen to him talk about their island. So honest and straightforward. You just know you will learn something new once he opens his mouth.
Sunny was a gold mine to find!!! Very knowledgeable, pleasant, polite. What a good dude!! These great people have it figured out, take care of each other, work hard and just live clean. Thousands of years basically lived the same way. Absolutely beautiful!!
This is a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing your adventure to this amazing island. I love how the people there are naturally spiritual and have such gratitude for their island and for the food they hunt and fish. I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada. So thank you educating people from other parts of the world. ♥️
Thank you for sharing, for the peoples of St. Lawrence who have graciously shared their lives, thoughts, and words. I appreciate and respect their kindness and their thoughts and words. We are each blessed beyond our own lives to be able to listen to their insights into how they are perceiving the world off the Island and beyond. And yet the Island is the world 🌎 every day to which each is living. We are blessed and I am grateful for their showing each one of us, that there is much to be thankful for. Don’t change anything except to be honest and more grateful for what each individual is sharing.
Peter, you're channel brings big city people like me, briefly into lives that we rarely see. These people live honourably and peacefully each day and make this sorry world a little better. Many thanks for your insightful travel logs that keep me coming back.
Thanks for sharing this one Peter. Regarding that feeling you mention, I can resonate with your experience; when I travelled to the island of Guam a few months ago where my people are from, I noticed a similar sense of electricity (the best way I could describe it) on the island that I've only experienced in a few other places like Mt. Whitney, CA that have a natural commanding presence that really demands your humble attention. As i've grown older ive become less spiritual in the conventional sense and have grown aware to an undeniable natural energy that is beyond measurable qualification but certainly begs the question as to what else is out there.... what an extraordinary experience these peak moments are that we get to experience. Thanks again for sharing, cant wait for the next one.
Peter, it is insane you don't have 10-50 million subs yet, I am beyond grateful to have found your channel, best content on YT by far. This video is phenomenal. It is awesome how one minute you are in Alaska, then next a "hood" in Atlanta, and then in PA with Amish lol. Keep it up man, it makes my day when you upload a new video.
Thank you so much to the Tribal Council and the Elders for allowing Peter to come visit and share with us what life was and is there. I would love to taste whale, seal and walrus
You can taste all those things in February in Anchorage every year at the "Fur Rondevoux" where people come to town from many of the villages and they visit and/or trade goods for a week. The wild game barbeque is held to let us Cheechackos (people who came from outside Alaska and lived there for less than 10 years) taste traditional foods. It is an awesome "end of winter" party held every year.
After this, sure some people will protest especially from a group claim that are most privilege in the world and top of the other people and expect whole world mandatory to respect and follow them. Hope they still have peaceful life after this.
One of my favorite videos of yours. I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and I've been pounding through them. You have a great way of connecting with people and letting them tell the story.
Even thougt I've followed you for years since your Ukraine days and never commented until now, I've got to say. both the rural Texas and these Alaskan journeys have been fascinating and brilliant. Thats the niche - Subcultures, the untold stories of people us fabled, entitled westerners don't know anything about. Thats so fascinating, captivating and emotive. Well done, mate :)
This is my favourite video from all the Indigenous nations you have shown. I have loved all of them, but this is just fascinating. So much skill involved to harvest food, especially the whaling.
Great work Peter. Very friendly people and it’s great to see them share about their lives. Very interesting people. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when the snows come!
Fantastic, beautiful, interesting, inspiring. All these people seem so genuine and kind and laid back and peaceful. I’m sure life is a bit tougher in the winter but what an awesome video and cast of characters
Love your closing comments. I lean towards believing that those fine, noble people are living the way we once did, with the same value for family and community; and hard work and role modelling - all of which has largely disappeared from Northern communities of Alaska and Northern Canada; Newfoundland included (where I hail from).

Thanks Peter!
For some of us who love to learn other cultures but don't necessarily get the opportunity to travel as we either get caught up in running our daily lives (or are plain & simply lazy to do so!), your content makes a difference. Keep up the good work. It's refreshing to see unbiased reporting in this day and age.
Thank you!
This is a glimpse of the way native people help each other. No matter how badly we’ve been treated throughout history, we’re still hospitable.
You’re so right. For the viewers of this video, we too felt the spiritual nature of your visit. This was so spectacular to witness, and learn from. Thank you for ALL you do and then some! I’m nearly left speechless!
Hold on to these last few remaining bastions. Once it's gone, it is gone forever.
Good luck from an indigenous Indian from Northeast India. 🇮🇳
I love the respect and honor for everything. Nothing wasted. Everything receives thanks and everyone has an important job
I really love the exposure you've provided to this Native culture. Hopefully you'll do more of these! You're fantastic, Peter. I learn so much from your content. Great job as usual!
As a native Sami from Sápmi I appreciate your respect for the people and the land.Absolutely one of your best Peter!! Can't wait for more from this trip.
This is one of the most Beautiful places on earth for beautiful respectful people.. greetings from Europe Romania !
@@anothermeantroll8376 you are so freaking cool guy!!
@@anothermeantroll8376 you must live a very miserable life by spending your time trolling with your negativity!! You don't make me mad at all, you just make me smile knowing I am happier and a better person than you!! 🤔😉
@@anothermeantroll8376 you obviously get your satisfaction in taking it as the inside spooner sugar!! lMFAO. Your have issues because your sugar daddy is the Superior in your submissive relationship little man
@@anothermeantroll8376 Outta here. Go back to your ancestral homeland.
Wow much respect for that young dad. He sounds so based. He has better understanding of the world than almost all people living in mainland US
This is so cool Peter. My 13 year old son watched with me and we are just spellbound by this whole part of the world that is so unspoiled and so in touch with their history and tradition. Can't wait to see the rest!
This is one of the most spectacular episodes on your channel. The energy you speak of comes through even on a screen, the sheer open, wild, yet serene landscape that is also some of the harshest & unforgiving terrain on the planet is beyond beautiful. The people are so mild mannered & respectful & totally in tune with Nature, only taking what they need for survival. That sunset at midnight was soul stirring..... everything is just so awe inspiring !
I can only imagine how strong their sense of community is. So willing to help one another, we need more of that in this world.
it's almost like they literally depend on one another, otherwise they'd die and suffer; so they're absolutely forced to have a "sense" of community.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT, I THINK. just a guess though
@@FackeYuIt’s almost like you are stuck in your mother’s basement, because you can’t function in the world as a manchild.
It’s definitely like that.
This is my favorite of your videos. You can't help but admire the people and love the land. Thank you and God bless!🇺🇸🙏❤
Being Native American, I can hear someone's grandma looking out the window, "Look at Sonny showing that white man around, oh brother!" all nosey lol
I know right lol
Lmao!! I went to bethel in HS with my best friend that's from their and I can not count how many times, I heard that..
🤣 im Sonny, and they were asking "who is that guy? What does he do?"
@@nataliefoss5629 I went to Bethel in 2009 with my dad who was the district natural resource conservationist at the time. Really beautiful area and nice people.
Lovely to hear your story, the aboriginal of Australia have many islands and Christina Anu is aboriginal Australian singer her biggest hit.."My Island Home".
I spent 2 weeks there doing Eye exam and ordering glasses for the Yupik people in the early 1980"s. very remote at that time. The radio had lots of static. It felt like the ( I imagined ) the early 20th century. I enjoyed it very much. We went out to the cliffs north east of town and the young people were there hanging out. We had permission from the elders of the Savoonga go there. Enjoy !!
I tell ya, I felt such peace watching and learning about these strong beautiful and resilient people. Thank you to them for allowing us all in to see and learn. I am 57 yrs old, and I've learned so much from your videos than I ever did from school. If I was a teacher I definitely would be using your videos in my classroom, the spoiled kids of today need to hear the history of these tribes, and also know and understand their ways of life today. Thank you for doing these videos ❤️
I agree so much! We can’t forget our Alaskan Americans. Unfortunately, we don’t even study state by state history. These are amazing people ❤️🤟🏻
Amazing people and culture. So happy they are still thriving. Thank you so much for showing their beauty.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I liked listening to Sonny. Nick, the VPSO, got me with the whale bone when he said it was from a stegosaurus, lol. He was spot on with his comments about the lower 48 when talking about why he would not want to visit. I hope they are able to bring back the yearly celebration of their cultures with their Siberian Yupik neighbors.
And much respect to the local people. Cool that they guided you around. Without their help this wouldn't have happened. A big Thank You to them.
BLM gave the land to the stupid corporation that owns the island now... completely idiotic
This thing called life...the vastness and granularity is bewildering. We're all here for it... Thanks for keeping such an elegant and raw chronicle of this way point in time, Peter.
honest, humble and friendly people amazing place love it
Peter, you have done a wonderful job on these docs. on Native life! Thank you!!! I wish there were more of this on Natives, so more people Americans can see how they are still being treated!! Bless you!💜👍
This is just amazing. I love Nick’s sense of humor! Such amazing people. Thank you for sharing this.
What a beautiful place!! Many thanks and blessings to the Siberian Yupik people for allowing you to share this awesome island with us. 🙂👍
I got introduced to Peter's videos after his visit to my native Pakistan, and now I'm watching his visits to the remotest areas of Alaska. What a lucky guy he is.
Sunny is so cool, they all are. Really smart, personable and well informed.
Such a beautiful place too. They live in paradise, which is why they're so grateful. 💗
Thank you.
@@one_up907 You're welcome.
is it Sunny?😊
@@acmebrainsurgery yeah thats me in the video.
@@one_up907 You're awesome Sunny!🌅 Have a great life.
@@one_up907 P.S. DeSantis rocks!👍
I live in Anchorage and appreciate this glimpse into St. Lawrence. A beautiful culture and way of life. Ive only been to Bethle and surrounding villages . Its amazing.
hows life in anchorage?
I love the guys attitude at 22mins. People should be happy with being this far away from everyone. I feel that where I live right now and I’m in north west Ireland but grew up in city. It’s no way a comparison at all but so far away from what I took as normal and what was expected. I love how far it was from that. But this is on a totally different level, genuinely something I would love to experience. Wouldn’t last a second without help from locals though
Beautiful people! Genuinely happy, heartwarming and loving place. The way you captured this paradise is a beautiful thing.
I loved every minute of this vlog, thank you for sharing with us!
What an tranquil place! Amazing. Everyone seemed so at peace and grateful for their beautiful land.
Peter I came across your videos recently and I can't stop watching. I have always been intrigued by the history of Native Americans and I love this series that you are doing. The history and life styles of the Native Americans are Beautiful and simple and so in tuned with nature. You are so genuine, natural and unbias in your interviews with everyone , it shows your respect and admiration for their life styles.
What a beautiful island 🏝 and such lovely and gracious people ❤️
Thanks Peter! I really appreciate you & your journeys, showing me places, cultures, & people that I’ll probably never get to see in person. I thoroughly enjoy every episode! Safe Travels!
Lovely to watch. It’s always amazing to see how different we all live.
I lived in Gambell when my son was 2 my dad worked at the clinic and my mom was a teacher. It was an awesome experience. We loved trying all the different foods. Bowhead was my favorite. I'm born and raised in Alaska and it was fun living in another part of Alaska and experiencing life out there.
It’s crazy to think we’re so far from Russia but so close too depending where you’re at in the us it amazes me I wish more people knew these stuff
Absolutely stunning! I can't even imagine what that experience was like for you. Thank you so much for sharing this!
What a wonderful and interesting journey. I liked Sonny's personality so much, reminded me of a colleague I worked with a few years ago, with that subtle and chill sense of humor. Nick was very funny too. It's amazing to ''meet'' such nice and relatable people from all over the world through your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this series with us Peter!
Nick is such a character!! He's got some great views of what's really going on in the world, and how blessed they are to live away from all the politics and crap. Great perspective!
I think he'd be in for some eye opening experiences if he travels to some lower states. Sometimes ignorance is a peaceful and wonderful thing. Wish I could live far away from the western world sometimes
@@ebonywinn50 he said himself that he never wants to go their because of crime, politics etc so his eyes are already open. He knows
Thank you to everyone for sharing your lovely town with all of us on RUclips!!
It may be cold there, but this community knows what is truly important in life, and that is loving and helping one another as a community as a whole.
This is EXACTLY how it was once done for thousands of years. Over time the deep state/cabal has destroyed these type communities and the family unit as a whole, because they know that together HUMANITY is MUCH stronger than they could ever be.
When a community lives as a single unit, they are far stronger than a community twice their size that does not live that way. This is a PROVEN FACT!!!
This is a beautiful and purpose filled way of life that needs and deserves to be preserved!! Imho
Ok
I totally agree
As a socialist/communist, this is what the world should be, one big happy family. Sadly, the world is controlled by the rich and elites.
@@Kopie0830 Socialism and communism do NOT work!! The elites are on their way out. They ruled for a thousand years and it is now time to restore this planet and return her back to God's people, as it is our promised inheritance.
Multiculturalism doesn't work. It's how races and ethnicities have survived for so long. People aren't invited to other lands by the people. The government imports future voters. People are proud to be who they are and want their own nations. This global NWO isn't going to wash unfortunately for them. England is over run by British passport holders that aren't britons. Our kids have been sacrificed on the alter for diversity no one asked for. Don't let people take over.
What an honor to be allowed to see and share this life with the great village/island residents. You seemed to fit in as non-threating. Thanks for sharing
Incredible content. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you!
I am from Germany and love your content! Go ahead showing us the world! 🙌🏼🫶🏼
What a beautiful place with amazing people unspoiled by ridiculous politics and hate. We need to follow their example.
What a special video. Thank you so much to everyone who participated and hosted Peter. 💕
I love it, that guy on the island (the cop) he gets the media exactly right. Excellent stuff. Best wishes!
WOW, Peter, amazing. I am older women and this is something I feel I have missed. Thank you so much for this doing this and sharing. You are a very blessed man. You are drawing so much from your experience, which is helping others see the world. Thank you! Ever video is amazing and thank you. I live in the southern part of Alabama. Come visit.
Ditto....love from Texas❤
@PeterSantenello Thank you for bringing us along. Love seeing the many beautiful cultures of our great country!
The whale hunter is my favorite. With total humility and a cadre of adoring fans, he casually explains how he basically saved the village in 2020. Lower 48, take heed.
Your sharing of what you learn and seek is amazing! The people you interview can sense your safe energy to share their lives with you. I enjoy watching all your videos of your adventures!!! I am much more aware of the world we live in. You find the positive even in challenging situations.
How wonderful to get a chance to watch this. Even from watching I feel a calm in my heart. Thank you all there for the generosity of showing us around and thank you Peter for taking us with you. The main thing I’m taking away from watching this is that borders are really relative to ones personal perception which is formed by your experience. I mean I already did know that it’s easy when you look around borders are just a temporary construct. I guess this calm I feel is from experiencing a glimps of the spaciousness you guys have around but also, most probably, within ❤️ Thank you!
I am absolutely speechless on this content you are keep providing to us. Thank you! These people are so beautiful souls, has so much love, and humbleness in is heir talk…. God bless you all
What a blessing to visit this community. Thank you Nome and St. Lawrence, AK for sharing your home with us. 🙏🏾
You're welcome.
@@one_up907 Yes, thank you for your hospitality & generosity in sharing your home with Peter. Through that many of us not only get to share too but also reflect on our own lives & what gives them meaning. Greetings & blessings from UK.
Whales and dolphins are my favorite animals and I do everything I can to preserve ocean life. I'm big into ocean conservation. I would rather society live like these people, sustainably using every part of the animal as they need it to survive while giving it the respect and thanks it deserves. I would much rather that than the blatant harm most of society does to the ocean and its animals by just pollution alone. These people of St. Lawrence are doing a better job at protecting the sea that gives us life, and I appreciate them 💙🌊
Absolutely breath taking scenery. And it looks so peaceful. And the people seem so nice. Im sure you will always remember this trip.
It is truly humbling to see these people working together to live in peace and harmony.🙏
@Adolf Hitler ROFL I mean you ain't wrong.
are you a Communist by chance? these people live humble lives under a very communal system much like Communism! there's zero Capitalism there! so are you Communist?
Holy moly. I could follow Sonny for days and just listen to him talk about their island. So honest and straightforward. You just know you will learn something new once he opens his mouth.
Sunny was a gold mine to find!!! Very knowledgeable, pleasant, polite. What a good dude!! These great people have it figured out, take care of each other, work hard and just live clean. Thousands of years basically lived the same way. Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you sir.
@@one_up907 Sonny when did St. Lawrence get a high school?
Hey Sunny you came across as such an authentic great guy! Greetings from Canada 🤝
@@TammyToo i was told in the 50s and then in 2008 we got a new one.
@@JP..5-. thanks I always be respectful to visitors and help them out, I like helping people when I can.
This is a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing your adventure to this amazing island. I love how the people there are naturally spiritual and have such gratitude for their island and for the food they hunt and fish. I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada. So thank you educating people from other parts of the world. ♥️
This is my home!! I miss my beautiful island. Thank you for sharing our story.
Thank you for sharing, for the peoples of St. Lawrence who have graciously shared their lives, thoughts, and words. I appreciate and respect their kindness and their thoughts and words. We are each blessed beyond our own lives to be able to listen to their insights into how they are perceiving the world off the Island and beyond. And yet the Island is the world 🌎 every day to which each is living. We are blessed and I am grateful for their showing each one of us, that there is much to be thankful for. Don’t change anything except to be honest and more grateful for what each individual is sharing.
Thanks!
Peter, you're channel brings big city people like me, briefly into lives that we rarely see. These people live honourably and peacefully each day and make this sorry world a little better. Many thanks for your insightful travel logs that keep me coming back.
Leave the city
Wow! You continue to go above and beyond! Thank You 🙏🏻 Continuing to show so many cultures that most will never interact with.
I'm addicted to your videos and learning of other places and cultures! Great job!!!!
I love hearing about the lives of the natives in any country especially the country I live in they're very wise and we can learn a lot from them.
Thanks for sharing this one Peter. Regarding that feeling you mention, I can resonate with your experience; when I travelled to the island of Guam a few months ago where my people are from, I noticed a similar sense of electricity (the best way I could describe it) on the island that I've only experienced in a few other places like Mt. Whitney, CA that have a natural commanding presence that really demands your humble attention. As i've grown older ive become less spiritual in the conventional sense and have grown aware to an undeniable natural energy that is beyond measurable qualification but certainly begs the question as to what else is out there.... what an extraordinary experience these peak moments are that we get to experience. Thanks again for sharing, cant wait for the next one.
Well said Christopher! Thanks for this.
I'm enjoying all your Alaska vlogs. Such a serene and beautiful place. The people seem genuine and humble.
What a well done documentary. Love your style. Thank you for sharing this island and the people.
Peter, it is insane you don't have 10-50 million subs yet, I am beyond grateful to have found your channel, best content on YT by far. This video is phenomenal. It is awesome how one minute you are in Alaska, then next a "hood" in Atlanta, and then in PA with Amish lol. Keep it up man, it makes my day when you upload a new video.
Thank you so much to the Tribal Council and the Elders for allowing Peter to come visit and share with us what life was and is there. I would love to taste whale, seal and walrus
You can taste all those things in February in Anchorage every year at the "Fur Rondevoux" where people come to town from many of the villages and they visit and/or trade goods for a week. The wild game barbeque is held to let us Cheechackos (people who came from outside Alaska and lived there for less than 10 years) taste traditional foods. It is an awesome "end of winter" party held every year.
After this, sure some people will protest especially from a group claim that are most privilege in the world and top of the other people and expect whole world mandatory to respect and follow them. Hope they still have peaceful life after this.
One of my favorite videos of yours. I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and I've been pounding through them. You have a great way of connecting with people and letting them tell the story.
I've been extremely interested in the Alaska series. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
You never dissapoint us with your videos! Keep up the great content!
Amazing community such a wise people, so amazing ...thank you for showing us glimpse of their world. ❤
Even thougt I've followed you for years since your Ukraine days and never commented until now, I've got to say. both the rural Texas and these Alaskan journeys have been fascinating and brilliant. Thats the niche - Subcultures, the untold stories of people us fabled, entitled westerners don't know anything about. Thats so fascinating, captivating and emotive. Well done, mate :)
Thanks Paul!
Peace out from up north Alaska ✌
*self-loathing westerners lol
This is my favourite video from all the Indigenous nations you have shown. I have loved all of them, but this is just fascinating. So much skill involved to harvest food, especially the whaling.
Much appreciate sunny being so welcoming and telling us so much about his community!!
This was amazing!! I love their simplicity of life. What an awesome experience !!
You were blessed with a fantastic host! What a fascinating place!
Great work Peter. Very friendly people and it’s great to see them share about their lives. Very interesting people. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when the snows come!
Fantastic, beautiful, interesting, inspiring. All these people seem so genuine and kind and laid back and peaceful. I’m sure life is a bit tougher in the winter but what an awesome video and cast of characters
Was just thinking, RUclips is boring this Sunday morning, when is Peter uploading? And here we are 😄
That's what I was thinking in the afternoon
same same.....
Love your closing comments. I lean towards believing that those fine, noble people are living the way we once did, with the same value for family and community; and hard work and role modelling - all of which has largely disappeared from Northern communities of Alaska and Northern Canada; Newfoundland included (where I hail from).
Always impressed with your approach and the dignity you afford to all the people you interact with in your "investigation/exploration" videos.
We wish more people were like that!
