Why Canada's Northernmost Town Exists
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2021
- Grise Fiord is Canada's northernmost town and sits in the northern region of Nunavut Canada. This is one of the northernmost towns in the world sitting well into the Arctic Circle. With 24 hour darkness in the winter and 24 hour light in the summer, I explain why this town exists and how the town is able to operate in such a cold, arctic climate.

Pilot in the Canadian Arctic here🙋♂️ I usually fly to Grise Fiord a couple times a year for private charters and I can certainly say that the people in Grise Fiord are some of the nicest and most generous people I’ve ever met. Everyone always comes up to say hi and have a talk. Locals always offer to give us a tour around town and every time I learn something new about the history of the village. Some trully warm-hearted people in this beautiful place!
Lovely.

Then why did you Christian’s murder thousands of indigenous children just for having different beliefs?
Your religion is a pyramid scheme created and controlled by evil ppl n pedophiles, you’ve destroyed almost every other culture that existed (South American natives, North American natives, africa, and in recent heard America fucked over the Middle East
How much is it to fly there from a big city? I'm a photographer and this would be a pretty crazy visit..
Just for you to know, 2.3 °F is equivalent to MINUS 16.5 Celsius. It would be quite nicer if it wasn't minus.
That would be👍 apologies.
That was the first thing I noticed. It would be quite a warm place if true. :/
Yes. 16.5 C = 62 F and is much much nicer than -16.5 C/2F
The problem is he put -72C in the thumbnail...clickbait.
@@carbrickscity That’s the lowest point, not the average that the dude was talking about. But yes, the title is clickbait, which all things considered, is probably a good thing for the people living there.
Also worth mentioning, the Inuit were relocated during the constantly- dark winter time, and with nothing. Many did not survive, but that so many did really speaks for the incredible ability and skills of the people
Yes they had to be so resourceful and mentally strong. I would immediately die
@@proserpine3332😂😂 immediate death
Damn really inhumane actions by the Canadian government I thought they were better than most Colonial Nations
Also worth mentioning that’s a bull shit story .
In the 1950s, 87 Inuit were persuaded by the Canadian government to leave their homes with promises of better hunting and the option to return home if they wanted.
87 ppl …… = the Inuit 😂 👌
Hmm sounds like they had options
@@connieartist1907 ?
Just a few corrections. It is pronounced "Greece" not Gr-ice. Resolute Canada is actually called Resoute Bay. Also, Grise fiord does not have an aboveground piped water system as it is not feasible due to the cold. They have two insulated and heated water storage tanks that have to last the whole community for a year. Water is delivered by trucks and sewage is taken to a sewage lagoon for disposal. They have a very short time to refill the tanks during the warmer weeks. Last thing, sealift is not Government run. It is run by two independent companies with GN being a large customer but local people, construction companies, and municipal operations also use them to order goods, vehicles, food, and more for themselves
@Sut Nack You should always care about false information.
@Sut Nack No Problem but I actually do live in Nunavut and travell to Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord three times a year. Didn't need Google. It's just 26 years of experience.
Also, showed a non-Canadian soldier (maybe Russian), Russian military vehicles and a building flying a Russian flag out front. Lazy film-making.
@Sut Nack just because you dont care about something doesn't mean others dont. Get over yourself. The world isnt about you.
Also its -16 not 16
When they said in 2010 that the government recognized this they showed an image of Justin Trudeau, when it was Harper who addressed this, not Trudeau
I caught that aswell.
i had to do some digging ... shame that was motioned like that.
Trudeau wasn't even in politics in 2010.
It was probably intentional. Trudeau is evil.
@@anari234 He was a sitting MP since 2008 in his riding in Papineau. He wasn't leader of the Liberal Party or PM then.
7:15 “Ignore all the bullet holes, we just need to fix the tire and it’ll be in perfect shape!”
That’s not the same truck the one with the tire off was an older body style the one that’s shot up was a new body style
Not the same truck, but still scary for a small population where everyone is related to everyone.
It's really disappointing that the video creator just subtly dropped this in with no context.
@@combatLaCarie Great point.
It's the safety vehicle for the safest town in Canada according to the video lol
Half of the families there were brought from Nunavik, not Nunavut. I lived here for two years and loved every moment. Just so you know, the jet you showed doesn't land there! It is also not serviced by Canadian North it is serviced only by Twin Otter Kenn Borek air. What you see is the just the bookings through Canadian North. Also, it is pronounce "greese" not Grise. ;) I did weather and "air traffic" there. My son was born while we lived there!
How does money get into the town?

Thanks for setting the facts straight!
I spent my teen years in Canadas Northwest Territories. Admittedly, not as far north as Grise, but I've been to Iqaluit, Yellowknife, Hay River, Nahani Beut, Fort Resolution, etc etc.
Our northern communities are beautiful in every season.
Even the coldest.
God bless you
Hey! How are you! I want to discuss about these places with you! How may I contact you. Di you have Instagram account! Pls reply
thats cute but who would wanna live there? lol

I travelled up to Hay River back in the summer of 2006. That’s the farthest I’ve been north, apart from living in Fort Mac for a couple years in the late 90’s, prior to moving to Cowtown before the turn of the century. It is definitely something else there man I tell ya. The scenery is quite nice but the bugs are hell on earth, I thought Fort Mac was bad… and having survived two winters there, I can only imagine how much worse it is farther North. I’ve been in Cowtown since and the winters here are still too harsh and drawn out for my taste. It takes a very hearty kind of people to live in such an environment, and I give mad props to everyone who lives up in the territories.
I spent 6 months at CFS Alert which is even further north but the conditions are fairly similar so I can only tip my hat to the residents of Grise Fiord and the tenacity they show by thriving in that kind of environment.
I’m a vehicle tech on OJT but is it optional to go to Alert or we’ll eventually have to go there once or sometimes with the CAF?
It's amazing that inland areas to the east of Qaqortoq in southern Greenland have an icecap climate while Alert with more than 20 degrees further from the equator has a tundra climate.
Is it possible to visit at any cost or anyway as an American citizen
"its good the crime rate is so low because the only police car is out of service as it is missing a wheel... and has a bunch of bullet holes in the windshield..."
Great video. I really appreciate your respect when speaking of the Inuit peoples and their terrible mistreatment by the Canadian government. Sad to know that this really happened less than 100 years ago.
Appreciate it. I was surprised to hear about the mistreatment when I was researching Grise Fiord, but I think it’s something people should definitely know about.
@@uncovering_yt:
Thank you for giving us this wonderful video of Grise Fiord !! I love it 💯 % !! And yes !! I would definitely love to live in Grise Fiord !! Because i love winter !!
To me the perfect place to live is where i can find winter all year round !! Grise Fiord is definitely that type of place !! 🥳 🆒️🤘🔛
I think a lot of other people in the world would love to experience the current ‘mistreatment’ the Canadian government provide the Innuit. Free health care, dental and almost everything else in their lives being highly subsidized, subsidies and benefits that other people can only dream of. I know it’s the in thing right now to moan about out how bad native people have it but in real life they have benefits that no one else comes close to.
I have a question:
I wish i could build my dream home in Grise Fiord or Resolute Bay. But, i heard that those lands belong to the Innuit people and native Canadians indians. That a foreigner can not buy, rent or build a house there. I don't know if is true or false. Please help me solve this little doubt. Thank you. 👍
@@pepitalacoja3870 depends on the province, would have to look into nunavut but in ontario thats a true statement
I have been to Grise Fiord (pronounced Greece Fee-ord). The community is not only inhabited by Inuit in Nunavut but also Nunavik (northern Quebec) which is evidenced by the dialectal differences in Inuktitut.
I flew in on a twin otter. You fly very close to the mountain, so they stall the engines to make the landing. So winds cause significant issues in the flight making it in.
It’s also one of the few places that have their weather recorded manually rather than radar.
I definitely could live there. The people in the community are lovely and I still have friends who reside there.
Do they have internet over there ?
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 Yes. It's expensive but they do have it
Thank you for sharing their story.
To many native tribes sharing stories is a great thing. My own tribe used to send off a few ppl to find new lands/ppl to live with them, for 3 generations.
They would then return to our tribe. Bringing us the knowledge, tools etc and stories of those they met. Becoming our brothers.
So. I thank you for sharing the story of these people.
Having spent about a year in Iqaluit, I can appreciate the remoteness of these communities and the resilience of the Inuit. It's a fascinating culture and way of life and I loved living up there. It's hard to get a true sense of the isolation unless you go up and take a walk through Iqaluit or any other of the smaller communities. The airports really are the only lifeline for these communities. Without them, they'd cease to exist.
They were provided little to no support in first years. I am sure they would be able to continue live there
@@Roman.Imperial.Artist Cut off the aircraft and ships that bring in supplies and the town would wither away. The main thing is fuel to power everything. Unless they built out some kind of elaborate wind farm or put in a mini nuclear power plant to produce all the electricity they need, they are dependent on fuel deliveries for their diesel generators. They have put in some solar to help with energy needs in the summer, but it obviously doesn't help when they are in complete darkness in the winter. Also if they cut off the fuel, they wouldn't be able to use their ATVs, trucks, snowmobiles, and boats, making hunting for their food much more difficult. They also use diesel to heat their homes since there are no trees to use as firewood.
I spent 2 years living at Alert, which is 500miles/800km north of Grise Fjord. Alert is the actual furthest north permanent settlement in the world. It is mostly a military station, although Environment Canada has a weather station there as well. My first two trips there were Inuit to work around the camp, but that did not work out - it was too far north for them!
The difference with Alert is that people cannot voluntarily move there. It’s a military base but it’s not actually identified as a “community”
Fantastic pøace to live
There are still inuit and other native folks there.
@@distantlight4527 Nope. The nearest Inuit village is about 800km south. The meaning of the motto of Alert means: "land beyond the people."
@@klondikechris I've spent years there Chris. Inuit and other native folks often work there.
Looking forward to the journey your YT channel will take and can't wait to see your sub count sky rocket! Great job
You deserve way more subscribers. Great video!
Thank you! I got a bunch of videos in the work since people seem to like this one👍
Not when he can't pronounce the name of his subject.
Grise Fiord. Pronounced Grease Fiord. Canada’s most northerly permanent civilian community. There are 2 permanent communities further north but they are largely military/weather although some civilians may be in the mix. Eureka & the world’s most northern permanent community-Alert.
Thanks for pointing out - Its french - Grise.
Came here to say this. I'd say it sounds more like "Greeze" Fiord. I've never been but I've spent a decent amount of time in Resolute, beautiful part of the country.
@@EricAlHarb It might be from French, but in Norwegian Grisefjord means "Pig Fjord".
Yea brise is NOT the most northern at all it's third
Alert seems like a cool place.
I spent a number of years in this area. Usually travelling between Resolute, Arctic Bay and Pond inlet. I was lucky enough to get to Grise Fiord twice. This was in the early 1970's. All these places were created by the federal government. I was appalled by some of the poor living conditions created by the government. The manipulation of these people by government and industries that went up there during that time was disgusting. Government spent decades trying to gloss over what I always termed as deliberate government abuse of humans. From that point on, I would never again vote for either of the 2 parties that created and maintained this abuse. Worse still is that the vast majority of Canadians are ignorant of Canada's geography. And that the bigotry directed at Inuit and First Nations peoples was led by none other than our Canadian government.
It was practise, so they can implement and destroy any of remote villages...now taking their guns too...seems kinda prearranged to me...kinda like good ole Charlie says by 2030 you will own nothing and be happy
This is terrible.. The canadian government has a lot of reconciliation to engage in with the TRUE canadians.
It’s horrible how they treated them initially..
I'm an Aussie, and that's certainly not a greenhouse I'd like to be throwing stones in, considering our federation's having caused generations of misery to our indigenous peoples. We still have such a long way to go. At least Canada's trying to address the problems in an inclusive manner! Thanks Canada!
So many great hearts and teachers from Grise Fiord with an abundance of knowledge on how to survive the extreme. It is worth a trip just to hear some of their stories and make new memories.
We are gro for you inc and we provide vertical hydroponic garden for they school. This is a wonderfull community and we are proud to ave them as client. Merci to due north for helping us to connect whit this amazing community.
I love how he talks about how safe the town is, while showing photos of an RCMP truck which is missing a wheel, and has the front windshield covered in bullet holes.
Thank you for mentioning that. I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that.
Such a safe place excluding the gunfight with police lol.
It's more likely that someone shot at a polar bear that ventured into town and missed.
"Do you think you could live in Grise Fjord?" I did for a few weeks back in 1995. I was helping out a friend who needed to travel for a conference. It was an amazing experience. Awesome community. Sad history.
liked before watching the video, only seen one other video of yours but I know it'll be good
"Most residents use all terrain vehicles like ATVs"
Thanks for the info
I appreciate the effort you put into the video, but there are many issues with this video's production. There is inaccurate terminology and pronunciation, unclear writing (did the territory or federal government take over the co-op?), footage that doesn't accurately portray the messages of the video (wrong locations, Canadian parliament photos for the territorial legislature, US gov photo, etc.)
If you want to run an educational content channel you need to do much more in terms of editing and vetting your content.
But what if they wanted to run a DISinformation channel? Would it be propaganda or stupidity? Or both? Why is a US channel serving up negative stories about both canada and russia?
Russian soldiers and military equipment made no sense indeed.
Thanks for the video. Good one. You probably deserve more subs
Appreciate it! Just got to keep uploading👍
Instant sub! Can’t wait to see what you make next!
Thank you so much! Check out the new vid if you haven’t already🤙
First time viewer, Great presentation, I knew of this place was always curious why would any community be situated there, now I know. The huge and uninhabited Devon Island is a barrier between Grise and the next cluster of settlements (Baffin Isand). keep up the good work,
7:16 just missing a wheel? Looks like it was shot at too…. Great video. From Subscriber #285
Safe
Amazing video, very high quality too. Subbed my man, good luck
Thank you so much!
Really great,thanks for sharing beautiful video 👌👌👌
Not sure if the clickbait thumbnail because Canada has never been -72C
The lowest temperature ever registered there is -52.6 C, far from those -72 C on the thumb.
Seems about right. I lived there for 7 years, it is cold for much longer in Grise, but I found temperatures were even colder when working the bush in Northern Alberta (Rainbow Lake/High Level). I have to watch the video and may have more to say later (reading comments first) - Doug Beiers
Dude you first video went viral awesome
That was super interesting- thanks for posting
I really hope nobody has said this before but I watched a video in my grade 8 class about this settlement. They were relocated per the government but what doesn't seem to be included here was that some of them were a partially militarized force. In addition to just living and holding our claim to sovereignty in the North, many Inuit people were paid to patrol the Arctic on skidoos with M1 garand rifles (reliable weapon for the cold climate).
Inventive name, the Arctic Patrol. 🤭😂
Edit: I hope I'm thinking of the correct settlement
This is a sad story. Native people in modern times never lived this far north permanently and only used this area as a summer hunting ground. Much of the hunting and fishing they were promised is not there most of the year. At least the government did finally compensate them and apologize.
im sure the dead people is happy about that.. or something
I was wondering that myself before the European/colonial invasion of their lands, how far north did the Inuit people thrive in, most of the time?
@@rscott2247 fairly well on large islands, during the little ice age they were forced south and the europeans were blocked from the north atlantic for a few hundred years.
"here's 10 million dollars for your town! Good luck spending it!"
Yup $115,000 each .
For all 87 Inuits who choose to live there
Great video 😁 Also surprise Charlie Bird at 5:54 🤗 Irish national treasure 🤗 He's been everywhere!
Nice video! I learned a lot👍
Remote areas like this should have government funded flights, and the governement should only cover the cost of the per-person flight.
I'd think a lot of the extremly high cost of food comes from transportation costs.
I suspect such a subsidy probably exists. Or something close to it.
I really wanna visit it once!! How cute they even have a children slide there… 😍😍
I know right! Would be a crazy experience!
Worked up there on the health unit it the 90s great place great people video brought back lots of memories
These extreme northern towns are really fascinating
I suspect the shot of the pickup truck on the bridge (when you’re describing how they get around) is from another town, not Grise Fiord. I believe it’s Pangnirtung?

Beautiful video. I would, however, have a difficult time living in such a small town and away from any other place. Here I thought that a town with 10,000 people was small. Grise Fiord has only 129 residents. Wow. All that matters is whether the people living in this town are happy. From the looks of it, they are.
Thanks for the video- would be interesting to visit
Beautiful information thank you.
It amazes me how resilient humans are. I watched of video of Oymyakon and Yakutsk. Amazing. I don't think I'd last long in these places.
Fact check false: I would die immediately
Alert is further north than Grise Fiord. This title is inaccurate.
That's only for scientific purposes I think though not a permanent place for people to live.
@@sundinfamforlife4129 It's still a permanently inhabited place. People live there all year round.
@@blmarecommies2725 I guess I just don't consider it one because only scientist live up there. Just my opinion though.
@@blmarecommies2725 In the 2021 census, the permanent population of Alert was recorded as 0.
It’s the world’s northernmost continuously inhabited place, not permanent
I lived in Tuktoyaktuk NWT for a year, it was quite an experience.
Thanks for the info about the Inuit! I am one myself and I don't hear much about our history.
Interesting video. Thanks. May I point out that Grise is actually pronounced 'greez', and that Nunavut = syllables 1 and 3 as 'u' in push; #2 like about, per their respective Wikipedia articles?
I appreciate the insight. Next time I’ll do more research into the pronunciation of the words.
when I lived in the Arctic everyone pronounced Nunavut as noon-na-voot
only in southern Canada have I heard it pronounced as none-na-vut
@@STMUN , well, I'd have to say a local trumps even Wikipedia. Thanks for the local info. Just to verify, both #1 and #3 syllables rhyme with 'boot', rather than 'foot' or 'but', right?
@@jimgreen5788 that's how I heard it
@@STMUN I've never heard anyone in any part of Canada pronounce it 'none-na-vut.' I've only heard /nu: nʌ vu:t/
Yep that's me at 2am wondering why I need to know about this random town
That's awesome!😂
Uncovering, since it was 2 years ago that I first saw your video, I'd forgotten I'd already been here. This time I heard something else, which I missed the first time, which is re. the polar winter, which lasts far longer than 2 months, since the calendar winter across the globe last 3 months. What you meant to say was the polar night. Way down in Barrow/Utqiaġvik, AK, it only lasts around 60 days. Here, it lasts for 100 days--27% of the year.
Another thing I neglected to bring up back then was Grise Fiord means "pig inlet" in Norwegian, because the landmark’s founder, Otto Sverdrup around 1900, thought the walruses in the area sounded like pigs.
Saw you had “666” subscribers so made sure to give you a follow! Cool video too!
Great.
Some of their formal generation was moved from Pond inlent and few northern Qubec inuits were back to Kuujjuaq.
It's bad result which the relocation policy of Canadian government brought.
That's a kind of byproduct in Cold War.
At 7:14, I could swear it looks like bullet holes in the RCMP truck windshield!
Officer put his truck out of its missery after the wheel broke
he wanted a new one / one with NO A/C
Really interesting.. thanks for sharing 👍
I work for co-op and have never once picked an order to get sent out there which honestly suprised me, and I know I couldnt live in that place permanently but one month would definetly be a cool experience to try
With the new Star Link Satellite High Speed Internet technology available, plus wind and solar panels, and satelite TV and telephone services, I would think life could be livable there. Also newer house construction technology could make living in the North much easier than before.
honestly, I'd go there just to escape technology; but the housing idea is pretty on point, maybe container homes could also be implemented.
Unfortunately I believe Star Link only works at 60 degrees latitude and below. Grise Fiord sits at around 76 degrees.
You pronounced it wrong dude. Grise sounds like GREECE Fiord. I lived there for one year when the population consisted of 80 people.
Great video.Random fact Im from Ireland and the guy with the beard at 5:54 is an Irish reporter named Charlie Bird who Was there in 2014.
Thanks for the video.
For a 6 Subscriber channel this is really high quality

Note the lack of research though.
As reprehensible the Canadian Government plan to keep Canadian control of the Arctic...it will be a blessing when the Northwest passage opens and the route will be under total Canadian control and not an "International Waterway" as The U.S. contends...
You realize they are keeping control to keep a certain hostile county at bay who wants to take control of the area. The same country that we’re chasing fishing boats out this fall will military boats! Please explain why the northwest passage will be a blessing …it will elevate the battle as the viability will increase and so will development of oil
@@pulkpuller you do realize canada has immigrated too many people in such a manner that it won't exist within 15 years?
So let russia come save us
Looks cool and cozy 👌🏻
Damn what a great explanation! It felt like watching a wendover productions video😍...
I am truly ashamed of the actions my government took with these people, relocating people in the dead of winter to an arctic tundra with little to no supplies is beyond cruel. Honestly the repparations is not nearly enough. The people who made these decisions should be put on trial for crimes against humanity, swiftly found guilty and then thrown in the darkest deepest dungeon we can find. In a truly just world they would be relocated in the middle of winter to a similar location in the arctic and left to die.
Beyond cruel is choosing to be willfully ignorant .
Takes about 2 minutes of research to learn that only 87 Inuits were relocated …….. by choice not force
If you believe 87 ppl = the entire Inuit population 😂 👌
"Lowest crime rate out of any community in Canada" but some how their only police vehicle has a windshield riddled with bulletholes lmao
Too cold for them to go out and steal/kill , If it was warmer they would
It looks like a very nice community. Would be hard to adjust to the temperature up there at first (i live in New Zealand. The two main islands east of australia). The residents would more than likely laugh at us (in a nice way) for being whimps, i think they would be extremely generous and helpful.
I have a Ussick, I purchased while on one of my trips to Grise Fiord, 50 or so years ago.
Piameeni, the RCMP Special, and I were having coffee, when he told me about it. The Ussick is 23 inches long.
I also have a Carving from him.
It kinda seems fun to live there…said the guy who probably has never had to deal with snow
Although both Tundra climates..
The residents from Umiujaq, Quebec had a major transition to this polar climate. It's averaged around - 40C compared to -25C and a permanent summer ice pack
Lichens are the only vegetation and the Peary Caribou are tiny compared to the much larger Labrador/ ungava herds..
The greatest issue besides cost of living, is the complete lack of Civil Twilight for several months.
It's too far north even for tundra. Basically an ice cap climate with some melting in summer.
@@ALuimes Yes
Not even close, Grise Fiord averages -15C, not -40C. January and February is at -31C.
@@byt4fse2 I'm referring to the coldest winter month.. typically February in the Arctic.
Grise Fiord easily had months with average temperature in that range..
Whereas -30C would be a very cold month in Umiujaq
@@TaigaTurf January and February in Grise Fiord is roughly -30C, not -40C. No where in North America do temperature linger in the -40s. The coldest communities on the continent won't get colder months than -34C,-35C.
I already live mid ontario and spend time by the artic circle , I'd live around there for sure....weathers bit ruff tho
Lol you get summer in south ontario same day drive 10-12 hours north and your basically back in winter XD
Just saw Charlie Bird - he must have been there doing a documentary too. So interesting!
I would LOVE to visit some Arctic places. I live in the warmer, more garbage temperatures of London Ontario, where the coldest temperature during the winter barely falls below -20 degrees Celsius.
Why do you keep showing Russian troops and equipment when talking about Canada specifically? Lol.
Bro wtf how does this channel only have 1k subs?!?
Very interesting. Thank you.
The Queen Elizabeth Islands are further north than the Inuit's historical territory. They never settled north of the Parry Chanel, and the climate is colder up there than further south on more southern arctic islands, the main land, and Baffin Island, which is arguably the main population center of the Inuit.
The Queen Elizabeth Islands were uninhabited when Europeans arrived, and is missing the short summer that exists further south, even on Baffin Island. The only civilian settlements on the Queen Elizabeth Islands are Resolute, and Grise Fiord, both were established by the Canadian government to give legitimacy to its claim to this territory. The only other current permanent Settlement there is Alert, built at the very northern tip of the northern most island, Ellesmere island, it is practically at the North Pole, but it is a Scientific and Military Settlement, and not Civilian.
Resolute is much the same as Grise Fiord, but bigger, and more accessible, and further south, but similar Climate Zone.

That’s awesome! Stay a little while
7:13 are those gun shots on the window of the Emergency Car?
Whenever I think about living somewhere remote like that, I think about two things. I would be very likely to keep to myself, and I would be utterly useless to any community in their efforts. I'd be happy to live somewhere like this, but I wouldn't be able to do much for them.
In these remote communities it doesn’t take very long to start thinking about how far away everything is and also how it is impossible for you to leave where you are at, you can’t just get in a car and drive. If you are poor you can’t afford the plane ticket to get away from there and some people have no where else they could go anyways which contributes to the very high suicide rates in far northern Canadian communities.
Welfare recipient
@@dregstaMinimum $1500 plane ticket to fly out multiplied by however many family members you have. Not exactly welfare when a family trip to the closest southern city can be a $10,000 proposition. Unfortunately many people turn to alcohol in these places or SAD gets to them hence the high rates of northern violence and suicide.
@@squangan no no I was responding to the parasite Thomas Jones
@@squangan very sad
☹️ I wish I could afford to fly them out if that’s thier wish
You would think if they have one store to run and supply the community, they would stock it and have it opened. This is why the running of services on reservations keeps being taken out of their hands.
If they don't need it, why would they keep it stocked? Considering the prices, they would barely be able to afford it anyways. They likely make all their nutrients from hunting, in addition, it's kind of fucked up to say "that's why the running of services keep being taken out of their hands" when the government has declared Indigenous people to be "the wards of the state" and has barely ever allowed them to have any autonomy over the reserves.
@@HeadMaster95 Umm, clearly they need to keep it stocked. They can't hunt or grow everything they need to eat and the store carries other essential non food items as well.
@@meghanf2012 The co-op wasn't created until 1960 but they were forcibly relocated in 1953. They were able to then and now, be able to survive by surviving off the land.
The grocery store clearly isn't that essential to them. It's only like 100 people man, they can definitely feed themselves more easily off that land.
You should learn about Inuit culture, my man. It's pretty cool
My hometown of tadoule lake man was also relocated by the Canadian government. Death also followed. I'm lucky to be here
some part of me wishes i could live there I like the snow and cold but even more then that i like the idea of living in a small town far away from anything else.
I don't know why but the video features a lot of footage of Russian army vehicles and a flag around 1:00 mark and then around 1:40 when a Russian 'Pantsir-S' is anti-aircraft is seen firing, while the voice talks about the Canadian government.
because Putin/Russia will own all that soon
That's because Canada doesn't have single well thought out plan that they would follow concerning the Arctic sovereignty. They have spent little developing infrastructure in the North and more time wasting billions in Afghanistan. While Russia has fixed up several settlements along their vast coast facing the Arctic and even on several islands too. Establishing systems to supply them and connecting those on the mainland with roads to to the rest of Russia speed up troop movements.
You're mispronouncing the name. You have to say it like "Grease". I grew up in Resolute Bay and I hated it. But at least back in the day we had daily flights. Not anymore though since the mining company LCI closed down.
thats -16 degrees C, a whole 32 degrees colder then 16. Honestly great editing and concept, that sub count had me double take.
Damn, here I am complaining about living in Edmonton because it's so cold lmao.
Some of the things are true, some a bullshit. I'm one of the inuit who live in grise fiord, and I lived here my whole life (p.s you said Grise wrong)
I think that this tells us how great the Native Tribes are.
It is such a shame that western ideals have destroyed so much.
These Inuits and other tribes like them, are what make the Americas great.
I work in Baffinland Iron Mine. It's like living on the moon. 3 weeks up 3 weeks home. Living like this all the time would be hard the people are awesome though.
Wow!! Very good channel considering it's new. Videos editing is like channels with million subscribers.
