During this time of year, I am enjoying rediscovering these old films by the NFB from the early 1960s. I remember watching some of these in school as a child. They give insight into the traditional lifeways of the Inuit, Inuvialuit of the Western Canadian arctic, and Inupiat of Eastern Alaska.
This is a series called Tuktu (a fictional name, but probably derived from Tuktoyuktuk, a town in the far north. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuktoyaktuk

(I'm thinking this could be from Alaska, judging from the clothing, facial features and the landscape. So probably the Yupik Eskimo, rather than Canadian Inuit)
