The Chipewyan (/tʃɪpəˈwaɪən/ chip-ə-WHY-ən, also called Denésoliné or Dënesųłı̨né or Dënë Sųłınë́, meaning "the original/real people")[2] [3] are a Dene Indigenous Canadian people of the Athabaskan language family, whose ancestors are identified with the Taltheilei Shale archaeological tradition.[4][5][6] They are part of the Northern Athabascan group of peoples, and come from what is now Western Canada.
They survived quite well, until their relocation shortly after this documentary. Look up sayisi dene relocation. It is quite devestating what happened to them
👍👍Marsi for setting them straight, mate. It's National Film Board propaganda. They couldn't even hire a local to narrate it. I can't stand the narrator's 🐂💩 phony accent. I had to turn off the sound to watch it.
Great short film!!! Caribou Hunter was using an Ol' Stevens 325 .30-30... Period correct, and likely nearly new rifle considering these were only made 1947-'49.
What a life. True freedom. A willingness to live a simple life like this brings true freedom. Modern politicians say freedom is not free. Their freedom is a lie.
True freedom? You spend all your waking hours searching for and processing food. Then, if there is some problem, you starve. You are dreaming my friend.
Technically made by Savage but Savage used the Stevens name on this rifle. It's a Stevens model 325 which then sold for $38.25. The Savage model 340 was a few dollars more.
The rifle the hunter is using is a Savage/ Stevens spoon handle bolt action probably a model 325. I believe they first came out in 1947. I had one in 30-30 . With a little work, it was amazingly accurate.
This is close in time and space to the hunting described in the book "People of the Deer" by Farley Mowatt (published in 1952, revised in 1975). There is some good description of methods and attitudes around hunting.
Concerned Citizen, sounds as though you are the one not educated about First Nations people. My people did not squander their resources, if something was killed it used to the fullest. The same can not be said about those who stole the land.

He is talking about the Dene, not the (not the Chippewa) Weeentuguy we gave them that name to describe the parka they wear. Chipewyan means the pointy heads in Cree, the soh-tohs or saulteaux are a little different
So funny... basically it’s Cree and Dene up there.. I am part French but also my moms side comes from Irish and Cree. Now how I know? Cuz I came from this reserve before the city. Haha I still remember the day we left. It was so sad. And very intimidating. Moving from local towns 1000 people plus moving to 30k people.twas something else
The Cree and indigenous people were tough as nails. They lived close to the land. While living a tough life off the land is not ideal there is something about living closer to nature that is good for your health and your overall well being. Beats sitting behind a desk.
Caribou don't live in the United States, the bison are slowly being restored. Bears and wolves too. Decimated in numbers! Maine tried to reintroduce the caribou but they weren't having it. Lol. Thank you.
They had no idea about the environment then. Opens with "The barren lands and forest fringes of Northern Canada...:, then proceeds to describe the culture of harvesting animals from these "barrens", which obviously can't be barren if large quantities of these animals are available to be harvested, Doh!
In subsistence hunting, one does not stop at one caribou. They will move on and may not be found for another year. Before and after the Game Dept. put a limit, one would not be bothered by a game warden. Eating and survival are more important than a quota. He surely regrets having a film crew along ...
I had a friend that while stationed in Alaska during his military he came upon some Eskimo’s that had killed several caribou. They had opened part of the stomach and were eating the vegetation that the caribou had eaten. They offered him some but he declined” he had a weak stomach ❤️🥴
They lived in summer camps on the trapline and sent their families to the rezz when winter came !once a year my great grandfather would bring a bag of candies after selling his fur and my grandmother said it was such a treat lol
most of us don't like been called Chipewyans. we prefer Denesuline or Dene. means human or man. depends. nowadays it's more of an insult to be called chipewyan
They aren't actually talking about the Dene, they're talking about the Anishinaabeg. Some Anishinaabeg are called Chippewa, and then the Dene are sometimes called Chipweyan. Two different groups that actually aren't connected at all. Annoying isn't it? :P
As a Manitoban, I appreciate the old docs. The only thing I can' t stand is the narrator's 🐂💩 fake accent. NFB would never hire a native Canadian native to speak for themselves pre 1980's. Welcome to Kanada, land of the "Not See's"", where P.M. Turdhole can declare a federal holiday for "Truth & Reconciliation" for First Nations, then turn down an invitation to meet with native leaders because he's busy on "govt business",then disappear from public view & then get caught later in the afternoon surfing in Tofino. Maybe someone could start a Gofundme for limp Dick Cheney to come up here on official govt business to hunt on the next holiday? Finding excellent local guides wouldn't be hard to find. There'd be a lineup, I'm sure..
As an African Black by skin colour, I was thrilled and amazed to had discovered my beloved native ancestors and relative bloodline groups in North American countries Canada and United States of America.
Wango Yima there are no black native tribes in Canada in fact its very hard for Non-Natives to claim being Native in Canada its not as easily as it is in America we have laws and rights protecting our cultures and languages from culture vultures skin colour wise whites and Blacks don't belong to North America....
I partially respect and agreeable with you firmly as there are no black Native ancestors yet their skin colours pured by the coldest temperature weather conditions during their migrations from one place to another since the past centuries ago
My dad is the young man playing the harmonica ...handsome man my papa
Wow! A real treasure to see this video. I'm sure you must be proud of him. These are true Men of that day. ( Not sure of the men of today)
Awesome ........ good memories of a time in the past ..... amazing to you???
Looks like he’s having a blast. This film fills me with admiration…

Wow cool u musta heard some crazy stories ehhhh....BIGFOOT???
Dude said…“We forgot to be hungry…there was work to do.” You can’t lose with an attitude like that! Bravo
The old timers I worked around (I'm 60 now ) they used to say,,, stopping to eat was a sign of weakness .
As an half Ojibway half Oji-cree. This is very educational to me. Very nice and entertaining video.
AMAZING how these people survived. So interesting I enjoyed this video very much. THANKS
They survived quite well, until their relocation shortly after this documentary. Look up sayisi dene relocation. It is quite devestating what happened to them
Terrific film. This is real history. Thanks for uploading!

I love these old films!
Tuff People, tuff Dogs, and tuff hunting. I like these old films.
There are no Chippewa, Ojibway, Saulteaux in this film. It's Cree and Dene (aka Chipewyan) in northern MB.
👍👍Marsi for setting them straight, mate. It's National Film Board propaganda. They couldn't even hire a local to narrate it. I can't stand the narrator's 🐂💩 phony accent. I had to turn off the sound to watch it.
Yes my family's ojibway side are from more south. Ontario, koochiching band. Brings me back to netting fish ricing😊feeding mink to sled dogs.
We are Denesulin'e. It brings back great wonderful memories ! I'm now 57
Tadoule lake?
That’s how my dad grew up. He is 75 now. He still loves going back to the bush.
My great Grandpa (komosoom) is in this film, Solomon Cook, its such a feeling to see how he lived.
I like how the narrator’s accent is all over the place :).
Yes, he definitely seemed to get more and more "native" sounding as the film went on..🤔
Yes... accent is a fake..
Yeah, it's making me crack up laughing😅

Did you moose hunt or shoot a rifle. What do you know about hardships. Your another internet keyboard warrior just like the other person.
This was made in 1951. That Savage 30/30 would have been a brand new gun then. I think that model came out in 1950.

God bless the original american people. The people who respect nature and other people. Love from Greece my good friends.

I read the Mowat books but the film just showed me how different these times and those times were.
Thanks great job guys 👍🇨🇦

I miss them so very much my dad my Disain Family. Always in my heart.
I believe the narrator is actually saying Chipewyan which is an Athabaskan speaking people rather than the Algonquin speaking Chippewa or Anishinaabe.
Loved this. My home 🤙🏾🤙🏾

My people, my grandparents would always tell me stories about this
Amazing strong people I wish I could go stay about a week with them if I could last that long but I try ** they work really hard ❤
looks like a savage model 340 , bolt action 30-30 rifle, hard to tell from the film,but thats my observation. nice film.
It’s a Stevens model 342
@@ffarmchicken Basically the same rifle with different writing on it.
Nice one. The peoples mentioned in the film are not Chippewa, Saulteaux nor Ojibway. Narrator talks of Chipewyan (an Athabaskan people) and Cree.
It took me a while to notice that . I was confused
Very true . I am Dene , North Saskatchewan, NWT border.
We are called , Denesulin'e.
Great History Amsd Very Historycal
