People of the Seal, Part 2: Eskimo Winter

This documentary is the second installment of a collaboration between the British Broadcasting Corporation and the National Film Board of Canada. It features some of the most vivid footage of the Netsilik Inuit, focusing on their life in the Pelly Bay region. The film documents activities such as hunting seals through breathing holes in the sea ice and the social dynamics that occur during the mid-winter season.

Viewers will see the communal aspects of Inuit life, including family gatherings and social events within igloos. The film highlights traditional games, contests, and ceremonial activities that reflect the rich cultural tapestry of the Netsilik people. This documentary serves as an important record of a culture that is rapidly disappearing and provides valuable insights into their way of life.
