  • Tundra nomads like nenets or khanty or chukchi still live like their ancestors in a way. They still work hard nomading with reindeer for hundreds miles every month.
    But wait! how about women giving birth in tundra when there are no hospital or clinic for 500 km! Well most of times they give birth right in tundra in their choum. But not always! Just take a look!

    *My best friend's grandmother grew up like this. I still remember her telling us about it when we were young girls.*
    She always said life was hard and they appreciated the little things they had. Without work there was no life. It made her stronger - somehow. But she hated that the whole village, especially the men, always pretended that being pregnant was just an excuse when you needed a break. They just couldn't understand why it was harder for pregnant women. *Men always wanted children. But pregnancy was a weakness. Total madness.*
    She gave birth to 7 children. 6 died during childbirth because the man refused to help. It was too unhygienic for him.
    The births themselves were torture. If she screamed or cried, she felt it for a long time. She would be a weakling. Exclusion. After the death of the 7th child, she ran away after the hospital with her only surviving child.
    She always felt her existence as a Tundra woman as a slave. She said: *"If you never question your life, if you put up with everything just because a man says so or because tradition dictates it, then in time you learn to love your chains. And so the next generation is born into the cycle. I wanted to break out of this cycle. Build something better for my child."*
    Edit: With some answers I really ask myself: are you serious? This woman has experienced hell on earth for herself, lost one child after the other, was always considered weak or weaker, condemned and abandoned by the husband and the village because of traditions, escaped this world and made a life for herself and her child. A new life built full of love, health security and acceptance. And yet she is accused of lying and you want to hear the man's opinion. Do some people genuinely believe that only then were the woman's experiences real and understandable? She fled her traditions. She fled from pain and lack of understanding. And yet the opinion of the man who allowed all this is to be important?
    I don't wish anything bad on anyone. But I hope that these people experience something like this themselves, so that they realize the harshness and ignorance of their words.

      @@NMN_CP I said that they "appear" happy, healthy, and loved. I never claimed it was my professional opinion. I also never professed to be an expert in child rearing or pediatrics. However, from what was available in the video I made a few observations that led me to post what I did.
      The children were appropriately attired for their environment. Their clothes were handmade and not store bought. This shows a level of care and forethought on the part of the adults. As they cannot just run out to Target and purchase new clothing as the children grow and seasons change. (Though I imagine it's just different levels of cold/winter there. Lol) Also, taking into consideration that there is no running water, they look to be fairly clean. The children have pink, chubby cheeks. Their eyes are clear and bright. My last 2 observations along with the meal preparations we witnessed on film lead me to believe they are well nourished. I witnessed no emotional outbursts or behaviors that could be cause for alarm. I could be wrong in my assumptions, but I doubt it.
      Just like right now, for instance. After reading your comment, it APPEARS to me that you are an asshole. Who else takes time out of their day, to give another person hell, for simply posting a kind comment? 🤷‍♀️

      About screaming / wailing- it's interesting that they don't do this. I started to scream during my labor and my midwife told me don't scream high pitched, but grunt if you need to. Screaming brings the energy to your throat and changes your pushing when you need that energy where the baby is coming out.

I am thankful that my ancestors brought me to a nice, warm place where I can have a better life. I don’t have to keep a constant fire going, sew leather and fur apparel, herd, hunt, or eat raw meat during my pregnancy. I give big props to this woman for being strong supporting her family and giving birth in the cold temps. I see similarities to my culture in terms of staying active during the pregnancy and also not being noisy during childbirth. Gonna try my best when the time comes. 😅

      4 hours must be the max until the docs decide to do C-section. I was in labor for 12 hours and pushed for 4 hours. The doctors decided to do a C-section because baby wasn't coming out. Turns out, baby's arm was caught up on my pelvic bone. In the old days, they maybe would've had to reach inside the birth canal and break baby's arm to get her out. Even though I didn't want the C-section, I am still very glad for advanced medicine and that we could get her out safely.

    What an incredible glimpse into the traditional way of life and resilience of the nomadic people indigenous to the harsh Arctic tundra regions. This video provided unforgettable insights into how they've adapted to thrive, even when it comes to something as fundamental as childbirth, in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
    I was in awe watching the nomadic women going about their daily reindeer herding tasks while heavily pregnant, traversing the frozen landscapes seemingly undeterred by the extreme conditions. The strength and self-sufficiency required is admirable.
    The scenes of them giving birth outdoors in basic tents or even sleds, assisted just by family members, truly highlighted their close connection to nature's cycles. While it seems unimaginable from a modern perspective, you captured how this is simply a way of life upheld for generations, steeped in ancient traditions.
    At the same time, I appreciated seeing the efforts to medevac certain higher-risk pregnancies to the nearest towns when possible. It drove home the thin line these communities walk between preserving tradition and adopting practical adaptations to improve health outcomes.
    More than anything, the raw footage felt like a window into a world untouched by modern societal constructs. The power of the visuals alone - newborns swaddled in furs, nomads undaunted by blizzard conditions - conveyed such resilience and harmony with their environment.
    While alien to my lived experience, glimpses into the cycles of life in these remote regions prove how the human spirit can endure and even flourish under the harshest circumstances. An eye-opening, humbling, and extraordinary look at traditional Arctic cultures.

    Much respect and the pregnancy and labor part is so much like our culture, if a woman is giving birth and they scream or yell it’s a sign of weakness so once you know you’re in labor even if it’s very hard you cannot make any noise. It’s sad for the women because some of the things we learn in our culture isn’t so great! You’re a human being, you’re not some metal thing. I gave birth my baby boy last year November but I tried not to make any noise no matter how painful it was didn’t take the epidural cause it’s also a sign of weakness.

Watching this type of content, watching Eastern European cook can dehydrate do everything on the fire pit, and without power without heat without all that stuff, and they are able to survive and thrive, and they live a hard life but a full, loving happy, Life. I don’t envy these women. But I sure respect the heck out of them. They are strong, proud, beautiful, contributing members of this group of this family they make it work they stay positive. They reflect on what life really is. With my medical conditions nowadays there’s no way I’d be able to do that type of off grid living. I do live in Alberta Canada where it gets -50 Celsius I know how to grow my own food how to cook my own food how to process it now I’d like to learn how to dehydrate my meat, because. It’s not -50 all year round that’s only for a few months and it’s -30 Celsius for six months so for four months we have summer and that’s when we grow everything we possibly can if the deer and the rabbits don’t eat it. Lol. Anyways, what I wanted to say, was blesses people whatever they believe in whoever they believe in bless them every day of their lives they are the true heroes of our world.

    Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing Vera's birthing with us. The first time I'd heard of 'silent labour' was from my own mother. She too said that to make a noise was 'a sign of weakness', and I recall my mothers last two pregnancies/labour very well. Not a noise from her at all. I put it down to good old farming stock! When I was 21 and 22, I had my children. I endured long labours of 25 and 19 hours. Did I have a 'silent labour'? Well, not quite but I did grit my teeth and kept remembering my mothers words. I did just grand and didn't cry out, however, I managed to eat into the pillows during both my labours! I love all of your delightful short films as they always leave me feeling calm and serene. The peace loving nomads could teach us so much in our fast paced world. Thanks again. It's been a wee trip down memory lane!
