“why do you follow these customs”
“we follow them because they work, because they free us from worry”
damn
Thank you, I am inuit and this meant a lot to me having been detached from my ancestors culture through colonialism.
You've got to watch the full movie.
@@hilariousname6826 what's the movie?
@@johntikluk 'The Journals of Knud Rasmussen'. It's directed by the same guy who did 'Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner'. Both are tremendous movies.
my ancestors are true I will never failed to be my self I am proud to be inuk in me :)
Same bro
me too fam
How did I end up here? I was youtube surfing and here I am. I watched the whole thing and can't stop appreciating this man sharing his life. So many things I do in life that I know is wasteful and cannot get that time back, but this was not a waste of "my" time. We all have our beliefs that we choose to follow. I might not have grown with this man, or lived his way of life, but the wisdom he has blessed me with today I'll appreciate for a really long time.
you made me smile :) morning from israel
I don't see how a culture may survive in a desolate place without belief in something greater than themselves... Without believing that everything they interact with has a spirit, and must be revered. Otherwise, they have no protection and no sense of purpose on a barren rock. Indigenous cultures are not "stupid" for believing in spirits. If their beliefs allow them to peacefully coexist within an ecosystem, then they are smarter than all of us combined. Indigenous cultures must be cherished like a priceless heirloom.
They are our only link to our past, and to the truth.
There are beliefs and there is:Waking Life, Manifesting the Mind, TED meditation- lucid dreaming- fasting- banned, binaural beats, tummo, tulpa, lung-gom-pa, yoga nidra, natural law, Robert Waggoner, Stephen LaBerge, Sandra Postel, Bob Monroe, Edgar Cayce, Brian Weiss, Louise Hay, Tom Campbell Bruce Lipton interview, Nick Bostrom, Ed Fredkin, James Gates, Lisa Rankin
*I heard of one native tribe that were atheist for a long time since.* Wish I knew the name.
they still need to place their faith in Christ or they are doomed
It's humbling to hear my elders speak of, to be instilled with the past while trying to connect with the modern world.
I'd like to thank some on this thread for being respectful, for their thoughts & views of my culture & similar cultures as they're Inuit & I am Siberian Yupik.
There is one comment on this thread where I'd like to say something in response. However, that would bring up for me many years of traumatic pain in that all of the missionaries who came to our village to convert us by use of physical assault, cutting our hair, shoving soap into our mouths whenever asking a question in our native tongue, but I'm sure they wouldn't want the truth to be told. It's presumptive & myopic in the least to be telling others who conflict with another's right of life that they're "doomed."
Shamans, Inuits, Native Americans, Pygmies. These are my rolemodels. I live in a city but I have always felt a connection with these people. The world is suffering because we lack these great teachers and the customs of our ancestors.
overpopulation
@@truthseek3017 Fun fact: Overpopulation is a fear that isn't really justified. Turns out that we aren't reproducing at an unprecedented rate. In fact, with the population increase comes a decrease in worldwide poverty. www.economist.com/briefing/2011/10/22/a-tale-of-three-islands
@@korvaamiko66 we have a very primitive fundamental financial system. the model is based on the first one we've come up with and is basically a more complicated version of a chimp trying to get a bigger pile of bananas that the other chimps...
These shamans see things... in many modern cultures he and other shamans would be medicated... the way he described crying and being full of dread while singing joy! joy! that would be considered a mental illness in so many cultures.. and yet in other cultures, they are seen as shamans and honored.. we all have much to learn from each other. It's beautiful how everything has a purpose and meaning for them. They honor the animal they must kill for food to survive, because the animal has a soul just like humans. that is so beautiful.
Michaela Kealohilani if someone sees angels, ghosts, demons, talks about God telling them to do something isn’t that also hallucinating?
What if you're wrong?
I never met a shaman who wasn't crazy, as someone once said.
@@vincenttomalonis1804 There is - no doubt - the act of hallucinating. But are all such instances of what you mentioned hallucinating?
@@SirBlackReeds One must always consider how consistent and coherent one's beliefs are with reality. No doubt some shaman lead their people onto destructive paths, while others were the salvation of their people's needs be they spiritual and/or material. When I consider the modern world and those who have created modern values, I wonder if they are leading us onto a destructive path.
I am inuk and can tell you most of us are specially connected to the spirit world and have our own special abilities or senses as I call them.
I smoke weed so i know how that feels
I grew up in New Zealand among the Māori, although I am a White woman. They spoke of a great explorer who was also s medicine man or shaman. His name was Kupe and one night when he was in his home in Hawaii, he had a dream. He kept sailing South and South and further South until he came to a place that was very cold and had great white floating islands on it. Because he was from a tropical place, he had never seen ice or snow and had no words for what he saw. The next day, he began to prepare his voyage, and sailed South, South and further South. It got colder and colder, but he kept going and one day, he awoke and the whole World was white and he saw his great floating white islands! When he had seen them, he was satisfied, he turned his great canoe ship around and sailed North until he once again reached his home.
Forgive me, spirits of the rain and wind and earth and every living thing, for my misuse of your flesh, in the past and in the present and in the future. I wish to be at peace with you, and know your ways. Hail the nemeton, in which we all live.
S R MacLeod ❤️
excellent work! This story could never be told without your camera. I can't thank you enough
This was in a book I read about Shamanism, I think it was Contemporary Shamanism... I was born unconscious, my lungs filled with water... a doctor named Angel saved me, maybe that's why I'm into shamanism, too :)
This is a beautiful story. This man should thank all of his relatives for knowing how he had to live in order to avoid great misfortune. If he had broken the taboos, he could have endured much sorrow or not survived. We must also seek to understand our helping spirits. We have them, but many people do not recognize them. We must welcome them and be thankful to them for their help.
Respect for my brothers, mother Earth will protect them !
And we must do better for Mother Earth.
MMMMMMMMMMM, I wish I were born an Inuit. Their stories are so fasinating. I wish I were born in a traditional community life style, since my soul starts crying out over and over with every taste of one. Thanks for sharing. Muryelle
Hi there! this is beautiful!! Thank you for documenting this and for publishing this. I am Inuit and it means a lot for me to see this. Thank you! I would like to see the full version of this, but I can't find it on the website. What is the name of the full video? are you able to post it on youtube as well? it is easier to share this way. If not that's okay, maybe you can just share the link with me. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!! Qujannamik
The full title to this movie is: The Journals Of Knud Rasmussen. I highly recommend this purely Indigenous film brought to you from Zacharias Kunuk.
The film is great. It is inspired by the actual Journals Of Knud Rasmussen; he was a half-Inuit, half-Danish guy from Greenland who travelled across the Canadian Arctic in the 1920s doing ethnographical/anthropological research. His 'Journals' were published in book form; I've never read them, but they should be available somewhere.
Huge thank you cameraman and i don't have words to describe my appreciation for you inuit people just existing!!
These things are true and real..We can all relate to this in one form or another.
A beautiful video and thank you for sharing.
I was lucky enough to share part of my life in the mid 1960s with some of the Inuit - and not only are they incredibly resourceful, they are so very kind. A simply beautiful people.
I too love these people!!!
I got all the books written by Knud Rasmussen, I am a very fan of him and the Inuit!!!
I wonder if there might be any "Knud Rasmussen Society"? Indeed the works of Rasmussen introduced me in some way seriously into shamanism - a world I ever missed before - it`s a bit like coming home, but it seems still impossible, sadly to say ... .Thanks for the film!!!
Thanks, great video. Gives a prespective on what people think about the world in another culture. The Shaman is a great story teller of life.
This is honestly so fascinating
Thanks for sharing this! Really amazing
this is great lesson and every standard average european and american should learn from this angakok -to live straight and in balance no matter what age and environment is around...
It is transcendental there. There is little human competition, the amount of food in relation to people is reasonably decent, and there is a way of life there that you must live to stay alive. Some people don't want to lose the beauty of the old way, and they haven't been forced to yet, since those areas are a haven in terms of architectural destruction.
i can relate to this video, i myself have been into shamanism since i saw all those visions about animals. i hope the great spirits stay with this man.
I love, love our traditional way of life, and I will keep it in my heart..
I love this man's teaching's, natural law's need to be followed.
I heard a story about a hunter who killed a caribou. He said the caribou wasnt angry with him and told him he can use his skin and meat but leave the bones. DoNOT use my bones said the caribou. The hunter returns home and tells his wife the situation. she is not pleased. she needs sowing needles. The sledge needs new fitting. We NEED to use these bones. And so they did. And for 3 years...the caribou never returned. The hunters sledge broke down quickly. The womans needles werent straight. the meat harvested from the caribou went sour. This is why you shall always sing a song, or give a poem to your animal friend...always.
This is very interesting. I've never done any research on shamanism but I have heard stories from my father and grandfather, and I do beleive in them. Tukisinattiaqtuq tusarniqtunilu.
May All that is Good and Strong and Beautiful be with you.
The Inuits were fine for thousands of years they will still survive in this one hopefully
Ce reportage m'ouvre un peu plus l'esprit sur le bien-fondé de préserver l'humanité de ses dérives.
When he said, "outside", he meant, "OUTSIDE".
being aware of the existence of non ritualistic or symbolic, meditative African culture based on individuality/creativity/originality, instead of tribes, not recognizing any monarchy but a universal energy amongst a creation, which can communicate among all forms and formlessness and sees them as equal, spiritual consciousness, and prevents any part from being exploited
Nice vids! Way to go!!
I heve been to Canada 3 times. I love the country. One day, I will visit the Inuit land...
His wife , Abused and hurt, I see her pain .
until you live here , you will never undrstand, and even then you may never understand
Here I am stressing the line at Walmart is to long and this man is living this way and more happy than I'll ever be. The modern world has ruined us. I wish I could find a tribe, ANYWHERE that would take me in...
I love theese people... And I admire this shaman. Do you see that it is not education that really makes one WISE. It is a good heart. Theese people are pure... They are sacred. I wish the whole world would be in the same way of life. ...Hope a new era will rise. Hope 2012 is true, so after chaos would come order. This world is to small for 6billion fools.
Great video clip.
Позитивный народ, всё им нипочём. Счастья и благополучия вам!!!
Perfect.
Thank you for your story

Great respect.
IN MY NEXT LIFE I WANT TO BE AN ESKIMO SHAMAN. FULL OF FAITH, COURAGE, AND MYSTICISM
Please don't say Eskimo, it's a racist slur believe it or not
I don't know if I could handle being a Tundra Nomadic. I mean, just imagine... months of total darkness, being out there on a freezing glacier in an igloo, having to catch food in the dark, and 120 mph storms that might last for days. And they have done this for thousands of years. Well, my hat's off to them. Anyone that thinks these folks are wimps is crazy.

I agree. Christianity has become some kind of scary ugly cult and a leverage tool of the RW extremists.
PS I don't agree that people should only follow the religions that their people created. What if it was Christianity? Religion is a very personal thing and each person should keep it to themselves. When groups start to proselytize, whole other agendas appear. Too much of anything and it becomes something else.
+West Winds Well I'm Scandinavian and French. So I found Norse Paganism. I am not a racists but I think only people with Scandinavian ancestry should be Norse pagan, the same way it would be wrong for me to be kemetic, because those are the Egyptian gods.
Fascinating. What fabulous people.
West my computer erred on the link. Could you tell me what it was?

Just go to RUclips and type in whatever it is you are looking for. This site does not allow us to post links; it automatically removes them.
so this is a recreated scene from Knud Rasmussen's journals, right? surely this footage isn't from his 1920's expeditions!? are you referring to a different Knud?
cool...
truly beautiful people, and land.
the movie is all inuit, except for Knud and his pals
this isuma company is right in the next town from us
@DritonGusia
I completely agree with you.
JOY! JOY! JOY! JOY! JOY!
"The hunters knew that walrus could understand what was said, and that if treated properly they would eventually leave without further violence. It was in the order of things that humans must live by killing animals, after all, and this was something that the creatures understood."
Don't get too sentimental, you gotta do what you gotta do.
wow very interisting
i.e. he could be describing, in his own 'cant' or hermetic poesie, the experience o finding and picking the red mushrooms from the borreal forerests, and eating it. There is no doubt in my mind that a people surviving this way pretty much on animal flesh would be enthusiastic to another form of food. Especially one with such 'illuminating' properties. Pass the blue-berries and blubber please, yes with a side of grilled Sunshrooms.
@nephildevil sometimes it seems that reality is NOTHING but what YOU MAKE IT! ...everything we are saying is made of thoughts... everything we know is full of thought... every feeling, every belief, every process whatever!
The quality of feelings that define your sense of wellbeing... I think they are really important! When we wake from a dream we always want to return and enjoy it the best we can... maybe life is quite similar lol
Inuit should be proud of their Altai family who have a high IQ as mongols and Siberia nation.
Beautiful culture
the girl in the background is BEAUTIFUL.. yes, they are a beautiful people inside and out
@amicrowaveoven -- Yes, she was very beautiful. I would love to be able to visit these people for a while. I am an indian and I think we have much in common with these brothers from the North.
I had interest in this historical memory and was sorely disappointed by the ridiculous giggling at the end of the video.
This is award winning material
@nmscens1 What constitutes 'proper food' in your narrow mind?
U guys can now learn our inuit tongue! 😊
The death of a dependent in your care is difficult to bear. That's his point.
Thats in Greenland right? What about northern Canada/ Alaska?
Your loss, sir, no matter how tragic, doesn't deny any American their constitutional rights. Please cease and desist.
@intezam That's so weird a djinn in arabic means a spirit as well.
in canada, the inuit speak their own language (Inuktitut) and many speak english as well.
I like the polar bear pants very expensive to buy.
Oooo you sure showed me.....
gouranga
I Prey for change in the world that beautiful indigenous peoples get the help that they need from the goverment as thease peoples have survied so long living in the coldest climates in the world which as a britsh person could never do. For the western people who are racist they to ignorant to Realise that these people are our ancestors too.
@SHEX241196
You're very kind,thank you :)
Okay, thanks for the tips
But in Belgium it shard to get to pow wows,...
1:03 That's a pretty advanced restroom system.
@DJonX7 No there isn't explanation for a lot of damn things!
And of course, it doesn't mean that they exist if science can't explain it but what I'm trying to say is that after all EVERYTHING happens in the mind.
So we don't have to be very focused on the scientific method to built our reality. Whatever you believe in, whatever you claim to be true or untrue... they're all happening within you, and you are living it.
There is one earth but countless worlds in it.
❤
@DJonX7 Maybe there will be in the future. But the absence of an explanation is not a NO. Nor Yes but... I'm talking about the reality happening inside the mind. Thats where we experience ANYTHING (with scientific methods or not)
It happens there.
And the mind is an infinite universe, and it is not just a tool to recognize reality, and in the moment you don't- threes an abnormality. What is normality and what is reality anyway?
There ar mental states beyond the understanding of science
I read the report of a group of geneticists recently which said that contrary to popular opinion, the Inuit are not descended from Siberian Mongols, but that their genetics studies have revealed that Inuit are related to Northern Navajo, who were originally descended from the Thule people of Asia. If anyone knows more about the Thule people, I'd love to have that information. Thank you.
We came in after the Thule's, they were more peaceful but we(Alaskan Inuit and Canadian Inuit etc...) were more warlike nd had a lil bit more advanced weaponry like powerful bows while they had only spears and harpoons. So the Thule were much more of a primitive people than Inuit that came in later and were replaced by us Inuit.
jabames a Do you have any dates as to when the Thule came in, and also when the Inuit arrived? I read another interesting article that said there were the original Inuit which settled in Alaska but when their numbers grew, they split. Some went North (Inuvik and across to Greenland,) while others went further south and inland. The inland group split and some went even farther into AZ and NM. This article defined one difference between these genetic pools as: (1) Alaskan Inuit were fish and shellfish eaters, (2) Inland (forest) Inuit, deer and meat eaters, and (3) the last group now known as Southern Navajo became pork ranchers and eaters by tradition.
I also read an article that said ALL Mongols have a blue spot at the base of their spine, but Inuit do not which only further substantiates their not being Siberian Mongol. But if, as you say, the Inuit came in after the Thule people, then who were the Inuit and where exactly in Asia did they come from? I'd also like to know where exactly the Thule came from (there is such a deficit of information it's really frustrating.) If you know of any resources, I'd be glad to know them. Are you Alaskan or Canadian Inuit?
I'm totally fascinated by Inuit people. I think of all of the centuries of surviving in such hostile places (I wouldn't last two days!) and I am really in awe of their accomplishments. (I also find their/your art fascinating, too.) I think there should be more studies and documentation of your culture as there are less than thirty-five hundred Inuit on the face of the planet. I consider Inuit a living cultural treasure and we need to collect as much documented information as possible before it all disappears forever. Thank you for your post. :)
West Winds I think the Thule developed about 1000 AD to what we know of them archaeologically speaking, and they survived till maybe 1600 AD. Yeah I think we descend from the area of Japan, there's an ethnic group near there that had/has the same technology we used for hunting and stuff (I'm Yup'ik so that's what I think we're more closely related to), that would explain why we aren't directly associated with the Mongols, but we're close to em still. Hell, I can blend in with almost any Asian country or city xD.
If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and can you tell me whether or not you possess a blue spot?
I met a woman in California who was Inuit. She was very petite; maybe around five feet tall. Then there is Eric Schweig who is six feet two inches tall, so I'm interested in the average height of the different groups of Inuit. The reason I mention this is because I have always felt the Inuit were closely related to Koreans. Why? Because Manchuria sits just northeast of North Korea and the Manchurians were a tall tribe who became the last Chinese dynasty, the Qing (pronounced Ching) dynasty. The Han Chinese (the Qing/Manchu conquered Chinese) are much shorter, so whenever I see a very tall pure blood "Chinese", I'm wondering if I'm looking at someone with north China Manchurian genes. Korea has traditionally been a land bridge and both the Japanese and the Chinese have used it to attack each other so the Koreans have Chinese, Manchurian and Japanese blood in them, and my question has always been, "and what else?" This is why I am eager to track down the Thule people and any other groups which could have made their way to Alaska.
This is what Wikipedia has to say: "Inuit are the descendants of what anthropologists call the Thule culture,[14] who emerged from western Alaska, after crossing from Siberia, around 1000 CE and spread eastwards across the Arctic.[15]
This article also references our American habit of calling all of you from Alaska to Greenland "Eskimos". I know that some of you object to this term and consider it a pejorative, so I have renamed you "Tundra Nomadics" to stay out of trouble. :) I need to study the language tree of all TN's trying to unravel your mysterious past.
So, you see, jabames a, you all are not only totally awesome, you are also totally fascinating!!!
West Winds Yes we are probably related to Koreans, probably more than any other asians, I don't have a blue spot. I prefer to be called Yup'ik, not eskimo or Inuit. We are short people, Indians are taller than us and usually have buck teeth, and they look way different than us Inuits, seems like they have their own distinct look, they don't look like Inuit or Asian maybe a lil bit. I'm taller than the average Inuit, 5'10" while 5'7" or shorter would be the norm nd they would be slightly built nd very skinny while me I have more Russian blood nd am taller nd built like a tank. I even have some relatives that are white looking cuz some Russians married some of my ancestors in thw 17 or late 1800s. nd yeah some Chinese have their own look too, sometimes we will get mistaken for em too but not really, we look like Japanese too a lil bit. And this one time I got mistaken for a foreign exchange student this one kid from Korea asked if I was asian xD...
a youtube discussion with no cuss words? am i in some sort of shamanic dream world?
American English subtitles are not accurate to what he is actually saying and teaching
The woman behind him is his Spirit Guide, whom he banishes at the end of the movie because of his turning to Jesus...
@DritonGusia Ok, you are right. :)
@DritonGusia Gravity is gravity, wheather you're genius, epileptic or insane. A spirit is energy. Wheather in this dimension or another. And yes, there are other dimensions. Yes, there is a scientific explenation for everything. Just because it isn't explained or misunderstood at this time, doesn't mean it won't be in the future. I'm not ignorant though, for I believe in a creator.
Salut " Moustache " !

@istiklalcaddesi
Ah! But you are forgetting the aforementioned Peter Freuchen (best bud and business-partner with Knud Rasmussen), who played the popular novelist and romantic to "Kunuk"'s exacting ethnographer to the American market. His one experience with Hollywood in it's Golden Age in the late thirties' (while filming the movie "Eskimo!") resulted is some of the funniest s**t he ever wrote. The actresses were Japanese-American (Nisei) who recast themselves as Chinese when WWII broke.
@amicrowaveoven they are Indie-Mongolian
bless.
Interesting fact: the Inuit people mostly have AB+ blood type.
i would have tried my best to avoid going outside. I got cold just looking at them walking through all that wind.
"Come i want to show you something outside"
Me: Um... i cant i have a cramp in my leg
This was interesting. The overall level of the comments here, though, is quite pathetic.
@y0utub3r12345678:
I agree with "IIIIIIIII0o" -- be proud of who you are. Don't let people tell you one culture is better than the other. This is done for "control" and is also arrogant. Indigenous people have a lot of wisdom and knowledge that non-indigenous people do not understand.
You don’t get evil shamans,he lied to call himself a shaman and obviously was other than a shaman
1. This story is insane. 2. Why does it say 1922? 3. This guy’s (Avva?) life story is a story of triumph. Basically a nasty, randy little shaman ruined his parents’ life before he was even born, cursed his birth, made his childhood seem terrible just because all of the weird taboos and then he became a shaman. And, he didn’t mention anything about revenge at all. I mean clearly the taboos are like the backbone of believing in all this but, I mean, barring all of the ambiguity about living like that, all of the stories he told about becoming a shaman were really positive and beautiful.
wow it snows in turkey?
@DritonGusia There is a scientific explanation for absolutely everything. Just because we haven't discovered things scientifically, doesn't mean it shouldn't be existant. People always make that mistake. With that attitude, we wouldn't have learned how to fly.
