With features like a wide cockpit and long, narrow shape, the kayaks were designed to enhance the speed and ease of hunting caribou, since hunters have little time once caribou are spotted in the water. Otto Apsaktaun and Gino Akka are the last Inuit elders who know the secrets of making a unique Canadian boat built for the Arctic – the Netsilingmeot caribou-hunting kayak. With features like a wide cockpit and long, narrow shape, the kayaks were designed to enhance the speed and ease of hunting caribou, since hunters have little time once caribou are spotted in the water. In the summer of 2002, the elders invited the youth of their hamlet of Kugaaruk and a couple of southerners to join them at a remote tundra camp on Barrow Lake. Using a combination of traditional and modern techniques and materials, the group work ten twelve-hour days on the kayak construction. They also hunt, cook, play music, and teach the children Inuit traditions like the art of throat singing. While completing a pair of highly-crafted, beautiful kayaks, the elders also transmit and preserve their vanishing Inuit culture.

Disappearing World, The Eskimos of Pond Inlet

For the Eskimos of Pond Inlet a new village in North Baffin Island in which they have been settled by the Canadian Government the life of the semi-nomadic hunter has given way to that of wage-labourer, in what appears as a pre-fabricated `township'. Although hunting provides an important supplement to the Eskimos' income, it is now a part-time activity, and since 1975 (ten years after the start of the government's housing programme) nobody has lived all year round in hunting camps. For the older inhabitants of Pond Inlet, the old way of life is still vivid (in 1935 only 37 Eskimos lived in the village) and their reminiscences and recollections form part of a powerful statement about the present situation. These statements take the form of monologues, or comments addressed to friends and family about the effects of fifty years of contact with whites. Apart from these `interviews' with the Eskimos, the film accompanies one family grandfather, father, mother and children as they go out hunting seals and jigging for fish. The visual contrast between the splendours of the open spaces of snow and water and the township of Pond Inlet is a startling one which reinforces the Eskimos' statements. We also see one member of this family selling seal skins in a trade store, and captioned information is given about the cost of maintaining the hunter's equipment and what he can expect to earn in any one year. The material was filmed during a seven week period in June and July 1975. A sophisticated `observational' style is used, with long takes, few pans, no commentary or formal interviews and full subtitling. Caption cards are used to good effect, conveying necessary information without intruding on the narrative. These `technical' factors have important consequences for the film's anthropological value, not least because one of the aims was to enable the Eskimos to `speak for themselves'. Although it would be naive to suggest that the `people's voice' manages to override the exigencies of making such a film for a 52 minute television slot, the Eskimos did have a say in the making of the film, and one of them was also involved in the editing. The striking oratorical style of the Eskimos awakens the viewer to the point that in this film they are addressing the Whites, voicing their distrust, having overcome the fear with which they first encountered these `visitors' to the people's land.

Description
With the DRUM DANCER, we discover a universal language through music, an intermediary from which bonds are beautifully woven and transcended through time. A rhythm which scans the existence of man and proclaims life. Throughout time and most certainly due to its simple fabrication and workmanship, the drum has been an integral part of the Inuit life who in turn, have transmitted the language of this instrument from generation to generation.

This video has been provided by Canada's Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) from its Inuit Film and Video Archives (IFVA). The earliest videos in the IFVA collection date from the early 1970s. Inuit videographers have captured the transition from dog teams to digital phones; they have chronicled the division of the territories, the creation of key national Inuit organizations, the concept and signing of the Inuit land claims, the creation of Nunavut, and the evolution of a new political, socio-cultural environment -- their priceless archived work represents a period that is absolutely unique in history. IBC's main production centre and IFVA facility are located in Iqaluit, the capital of the Nunavut Territory. Websites: www.inuitbroadcasting.ca; www.building4dreams.ca/about-ifva/
