The Living Stone

  • This documentary shows the inspiration behind Inuit sculpture. The Inuit approach to the work is to release the image the artist sees imprisoned in the rough stone. The film centres on an old legend about the carving of the image of a sea spirit to bring food to a hungry camp.
    Directed by John Feeney - 1958 | 32 min

    My hometown. I am also named after Niviaksie. This was filmed before I was born. I grew up amongst these people and I recognize most. I saw my mom, ever young, dancing away. The land seen here had seemed so "pure" and untouched back then, since the town grew, things have changed dramatically. We are now living in houses. I never even slept in an igloo, only seen them first in films, later on they were built, just to teach us, how they were made and the clothes they wore, made from Caribou, or either seal skins. I'm "more of a spoiled sort," though old, I didn't "catch up," to their ways of living, but "caught up" with the need to eat what they instilled amongst us. I don't know how they did it, thus far, I myself, am amazed about my ancestors, the way they used tools for hunting, for survival. The actors here, their descendants are now into fifth generation.

      Wow. I’m an old anthropologist who always wanted to go to the Arctic but never did. Didn’t study Arctic cultures formally - I’m an urbanist - but am interested! Thanks so much for sharing that w all of us.

    What a stunning film! I'm beginning to explore the Inuit way of life as I think we need to relearn how to treat the earth and its resources if we are going to survive. This holds valuable lessons.

    A world where night and day, fire and ice, intimacy and vastness, natural beauty and human art, life and death are starkly woven. A world refreshing and beautiful to those who respond to it.

    Truly stunning! So simple, yet so complete. Are we happiest when living so close to the land? Imagine spending long winter's with your family, day in, day out for months and months. Everyone necessary. I feel like we are a people who've lost their way. Beautiful film. Thank you.

    It is wonderful. It was made just before I was born and had the English accent in the narration that was so much a part of its time. I see they had a sewing machine and awful tobacco which we Westerners polluted them with and the accordian for the dancing. I wonder if they still lived in the igloos in 1958 and wore those clothes - in other words what was staged and what was not - I hope not much. It looks genuine. They seemed to have a 4 children over 15 years so about 1 every 4 years or so.

    • @josephinepee811
      @josephinepee811 2 года назад +2

      No. These were just acting. The "couple," are not married, they each have a family of their own, both had children, all close in age and a large family, to boot.
      The woman, real named used, Kooyoo, was my uncle's wife, my mom's brother, is not shown here.

    Fascinating to see the assortment and use of the carving tools in this vid. Also, recently I made my own qulliq oil lamp from a small oblong ceramic planter and used a strip of rolled cotton and olive oil from the dollar store for the fuel. Worked great. Many thanks.

    This is a wonderful film - the BEST I have seen of Inuit daily life and culture. I have full
    respect for this race of peoples and Ienvy them their simplicity. They are master craftspeople
    and everything in their lives is forged and crafted by hand. We have a "soft" bunch compared
    to them. Their lives depend on what their hands can fashion. Brilliant doco. Thanks John Feeney
    for your wonderful work! :-)

    • @nedclive

    Even those that live in desolate and isolated lands knows there is SOMETHING out there more POWERFUL and MIGHTY than life itself. These people however, know what our society has forgotten and life's worth. I for one is one of the same.
    In youth I was ignorant to the fact how my choices would impact my future and change what could have been. AND MY CHOICES DID JUST THAT!!!!!!
    I GIVE ALL MY LOVE AND GLORY TO THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE, WHO KNEW MY NAME AND REMEMBERED ME THROUGH IT ALL. FORGAVE ME OF ALL MY TRANSGRESSIONS AND THROUGH HIS WORD SHOWED ME THE PATH LEADING TO HIM. THIS SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS A NAME.
    IN PSALMS 83:18, IT IS WRITTEN; THAT MEN MAY KNOW THAT THOU, WHOSE NAME ALONE IS JEHOVAH, ART THE MOST HIGH OVER ALL THE EARTH.
    HE SET HIS FACE ON MEN, BECAUSE THEY WERE OF EVIL, AND YET NOT ONE DID RIGHT IN HIS EYES. AND SO JEHOVAH'S PLAN WAS TO SEND HIS BELOVED SON TO REDEEM MANKIND. TO BRING ABOUT REDEMPTION LIKE NO OTHER. HE HAS A NAME ALSO.
    IN MATTHEW 1: 23, IT IS WRITTEN; BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND BRING FORTH A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME "" EMMANUEL"", WHICH BEING INTERPRETED IS GOD IS WITH US. THEN , IN MATTHEW 1: 24, IT IS WRITTEN; THEN JOSEPH BEING RAISED FROM SLEEP DID AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD HAD BIDDEN HIM AND TOOK TO HIM HIS WIFE: THEN IN MATTHEW 1:25 , IT IS WRITTEN: AND KNEW HER NOT TILL SHE HAD BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON: AND HE CALLED HIS NAME JESUS.
    AFTER JESUS FINISHED THE WORK AND MINISTRY JEHOVAH GAVE HIM TO DO, THE TIME CAME TO RETURN TO THE FATHER JEHOVAH. BEFORE LEAVING THE EARTH HE PROMISED TO SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO EMPOWER HIS PEOPLE TO CARRY ON THE TRUTH AND GOSPEL TO ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
    IN ACTS1:8, IT IS WRITTEN: BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER, AFTER THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS COME UPON YOU: AND YOU SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME BOTH IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDAEA, AND IN SAMARIA AND UNTO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH.
    AND THIS SO WAS FULFILLED AT PENTECOST!!!!!!! ACTS 2:1-4. IT IS WRITTEN
    FATHER, JEHOVAH; SON JESUS; AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. ALL IN UNISON AS ONE WHO IS ALIVE KEEPING WATCH OVER YOU AND I....... GOD BLESS
