Inuit Musical Tribute

[Benneiz]

I don't know who would dislike this! It's such beautiful music!

[boloruuka]

its like the kind of mongolian long song

[22himmel1]

good bless you tube

[callofduty1111111166]

Cool

[NoObSlaYer678910]

this is so fucking hardcore jk

this is such beautiful music

[roonghuatgmaildotcom]

This style bears some similarity with Manchu Shaman in Northeastern China.

[axium403]

This is more impressive than music today. Seriously? Older songs?

[waterninten]

amazing. the exempt in the begining is kinda fuzzy sounding. but is beautiful.

[scimatarpictures]

This is quite amazing...

[atabaskan19]

The real owners of Europe and Asia

ATABAŞKAN: Turkish

[superultramegamighty]

It doesnt matter where this girl is from music is always made by the person not by his/her religion skin colour cultural background or political views. we all have views and beliefs etc, this is nothing special. Beeing able to express this like Sainkho Namtchylak is the special thing. Thats why SHE deserves the full credit. Screw patriotism and all that dumb stuff.. Give the person props, listen, enjoy and stfu!

[juiceeddieshow222]

this is a beautiful song, native music is very soothing

[redtreestar]

why do so many of these Comment sessions turn to argueing? This is a beautiful interpretation of my Culture at its finest! Brings me to tears to hear such beautiful sounds... please try to keep Anger and the battles of who is "more right" to a minimum... Love this song! the loons in the back ground really make it!

[Liz66bee]

This just gives me chills - its amazing!

[Creppzu]

I probably would have never even heard this song unless it had popped up on my front page (on recommendations)

I do not regret that I was unable to resist the temptation to listen this :D It's so beautiful!

[Zarina2121]

i love this tribute and listen to it sooooo often 100% beautiful:)

[besmart78]

inuit lives in europe too

[ROTTIMAN31]

@besmart78 where?

[nameless9543]

this song is so... how do i put it... nice

[diazconias]

very wormy. I feel hugged

[roonghuatgmaildotcom]

Looks and sounds like Mongolians, or Asians ...

Beautiful!

[Loverleezack]

Its a little shocking reading the comments how truly ignorant people are! This is a beautiful song.

[PrObamaAntiTeaParty]

I sounds so similar to Mongolian music.

[siebzigfinger]

thank you for this ...very beautiful! love and peace to you.

[brightshadow121]

astonishing! who knew cultures could be so beautiful.=) yet they are slipping away, keep em strong, inheritances! you come from powerful people, take pride in your history, seriously tho, take it, take that pride and swallow it, like a pill. haha.

[OL8Twho]

I'm very excited to see the group softening a hide by throwing a guy up and down on it. He's way up there @ 3:08. I wish I had enough friends to soften my elk hide like that! Awesome! I love learning about the Inuit and other northern tribes.

[yalguun]

the singing is just like Mongolian "long song"

[Mamaii102]

i love hearing throat singing but why do white people call us eskimos were not eskimos were inuit.

[aldebarania]

@seetangadler vorallem kann man nie schreiben was einem auf dem herzen liegt ;) Music from heart to heart have no frontiers.

[kriann]

i'm studying indigenous religions and feel so blessed to have discovered this beautiful way of singing. thanks! alhamdulillah!

[brightshadow121]

@kriann indigenous? hope that aint a label, label u back. jk. what does it mean?

[alikimarkan]

Amazing glory!!!

[haruch]

Joy and Replenishment. Thanks fer the Showin'. We Ain't Dead Yet. Thanks, and Thanks Again....

[cervusadfontes]

their world is dead

we destroyed it

and now ... we die too

[y0utub3r12345678]

@cervusadfontes Inuit Culture-Long Gone=Fucking great.I hate em all

[honeybeeman]

so pure , ah amazing. thank you for uploading. it would be such a loss for something like this to disapear

[curuxa64]

Oh¡¡¡

is nice, is the land, they sing from the more deep in their souls.

[THIDUA]

Very beautiful! Please pass your language to your kids and your self!

[mrworms3d]

i wouldnt put that in my ipod but i guess it takes talent to make that :]

[samdon815]

The inuit [ first people] represent the original race to have evolved on this world. Not red or yellow , Andonite.

[celticraider1]

Close but not true, the oldest human race is believed to be the Bushman of the kalahari desert, I think they call themselves the Sam or San people

[nunavunmiut]

there is no Siberians in this video were are and always well be Inuit people from nunavut.

juliethepussycat you have to back to school and find out more about Siberians and the Inuit people find out what the difference is

[positionnormal71]

incredible sound.

[juliethepussycat]

Indians and Siberian people seem soo similar!

[MegaJaMs]

Indians???

It's a bit misleading these days anyway. I'm pretty certain that there never was any real isolation between Asia and America. The continents we're only defined as such relatively recently, in ancient times there were no concept of "Asia" and "the Americas". They were just two adjoining lands, with only a small separation, just as it is now. The Siberian Yupiks came from the Americas, for example.

Cont.

[MegaJaMs]

Continued.

There's no real reason to make such a separation (in terms) of such close lands, with a boundary much less obstructive than for example mountain ranges and such. They can easily be considered the same lands, West Alaska, and Chukotka (or far east Russia in general).

[Sharkwell]

Thank you for sharing this and explaining a bit alongside, a great contribution; I also enjoyed the Turk-dispute below - all good :o)

[UluKokturk]

Sainkho Namtchylak is not a siberian singer

she is from Turkic Country TUVA and she is 100% Tuvan Turkish!!

[johnxxx20000]

Sorry, but the Tuvan republic is in the far south of Siberia, so "Siberian singer" refers here to a geographic criterium. As for the ethnic point of view, the Tuvans are not Turkish (from Turkey) but Turkic (a vast ethno-linguistic family)!

[UluKokturk]

do you know my history better than me?

Turkish is not only Turkey Turks live from tuva to hungery!

Tuvans are 100% Turks !

Yakuts/Sakha 100% Turks

Kazaks, Tatarians, Huns, Mongolians, Uzbeks...100% Turks you should study turkish history!

[johnxxx20000]

Don't be angry! I just pointed out that Turks from Turkey (with an Mediterranean type) are ethnically different from other Turkic populations (with an Asiatic type) even if all those peoples speak related languages. Being qualified in such matters is always necessary.

My best regards

[AntiKyrgyz]

@johnxxx20000 modern tuvans are ethnically mongolians, they were ruled over by the uyghur khanate only.

[mavikilen]

tuvans are ethnically mongolians who speak a turkic language, real turk genotype is found in Oghuz

[olie0bent]

@UluKokturk mongolians are not turks, maybe do your turks learn a diffrent histroy than the rest f the world, but mongolians are not turks...

[WeeabooChan]

@UluKokturk kazaks are mixed blood all the way. MANY are part chinese...

[ddaulet]

biz, kazaklar cin degiliz

[fatlady57]

hi i'm an inuk (inuit) (not eskimo) from canada. the throat singing is called qiaq'vaaq pronouned "kiak vaak ( the q's are hard k sounds produced in the back of the throat)

and yes where i come from where decendants of monguls as for the alaskan inuit or eskimos as they prefer i cannot say for i don't know there origin story

[Lovecrowd]

Very special, thanks for keeping this kind of traditional music a live.

[GenjiXLegend]

(I mean well. Argh, typos.)

[GenjiXLegend]

(I mean so good, not so weird. Lol)

[GenjiXLegend]

I love Inuit culture so much... This song and video evokes the feel of it so weird. The singing actually sounds a lot similar to Tibetan, btw.

[msoviet409]

Once upon a time during the Ice Age from a far away land of the Alta mountain in Russia a group of people crossed the Bearing strait to settle in a new home in the Arctic zone. It's cold there, they must be crazy. But they were so used to it.

[TikiShootah]

what the throat singing called where they hold it for a long perido? I hear its inuit also.

[Waqaaaaa]

I believe that Toothache43 is wrong. Who knows, maybe we native peoples of the north came from the Steppe or Siberian area. Them Koreans that live up here in Alaska say we look Tuvan/Mongol.

And Toothache43 Oriental means "east" Oriental people are from Far east Asia...

Yupik/Inuit is close to the Turkic language in Tuva and Mongolia

[NuclearKhan]

When he said "oriental face", he was saying that they look Asian or Mongoloid.

[toothache43]

Sorry, you are wrong.The Inuit and Yup'ik people were in North America long before the Mongol Empire-i believe about 12, 000 years earlier.

[purizzia]

que cantos mas hermosos¡ me encantan las pinturas de las que están acompañados. me encantaría conocer más sobre los inuit, sobre su mitología, sobre la diosa Sedna...

[vespertinne]

What is the translation to this song? What is she singing about? I would love to include this beautiful music in a performance my friends and I are doing to celebrate Inuit and Yupik culture. Where can I find this on a CD or ...? Thank you. Beautiful!

[johnxxx20000]

It's not an Inuit song but a Tuvan song by the famous throat singer Sainkho Namtchylak, and it is called "Inuit wedding", therefore it has something to see with the Inuits, that's why I chose it! But I couldn't translate the song. Maybe someone here could?

[ruladrise]

i see very similarities with Turkic Kulture!

[Liz66bee]

Absolutely beautiful music and slide show:-)

[johnxxx20000]

Thank you very much!

[Waqaaaaa]

Wow man Nice vid... Although I am Yupik Eskimo

but nice vid =]

Mongols and Eskimos are like cousins :P

[loopitje]

beautiful...

[benzo430]

there's a movie called The White Dawn that has a seen with throat singers that is really good. you can find it on netflix

[aagii1233]

This is so impressive! i would never say that "inuit and mongols are the same". But I am a Mongolian and this songs just makes me cry. My tears are falling... and falling. I love Inuit ppl...

[piontro]

Only ignorants from the U.S.A. called the Inuit the derrogative term of Eskimos to a proud people like the Inuit.

[GonzoMcMoonbeam]

Ignorants from Canada, too.

[meleahrubino]

To be fair, in Alaska we do call them Eskimos. And it's not derogative. When we say "Eskimo", we don't mean any harm. And it's not meant as an insult. It's simply the term we're used to.

[zmitregnistegra]

This is because Yupiit speak an Eskimoan language. Inuit would only refer to Inupiat, hence the designation, "Eskimo".

[patchuly737]

Yes you do The right name is INUIT, not Eskimo, Asshole, you must be from the USA

[meleahrubino]

It's pejorative in certain areas, but not all. I mean no offense. My friend in Alaska refers to himself as Eskimo, so I'm only speaking from my experience.

[benzo430]

I had a Inuit friend when I lived in Alaska , I ask him if he felt insulted being call an Eskimo he said he was proud to be called an Eskimo. so It's mostly in the intent of the word. If I went to a different country, I would be proud to be reffered to as " The American"

[sillba]

Beautyful:) And thx for sharing all that info on the right side bar also:)

[debashir]

How did the inuits migrate to North America? Through Greenland or through the ice bridge once connecting Asia to Alaska? Inuits must be a very very old ethnos I guess. It's pity you didn't preserve your history, I am sure you have a glorious past.

[Chilsuhn]

I have to comment on the idea that Native Alaskans have not preserved their history. Have you not just seen that which was shared with you. Many of my close friends and relatives are very involved in their culture, language and know very well their history. Please be careful when making such comments.

[FreeeeS]

it's great to have found you here debashir.

[Edithalba1844]

Overwhelmingly beautiful! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous video! I feel deeply touched and full of admiration for the Inuit sense of art!

The great surprise to me is that the throat singing (is this what they call Katajak?) is followed by some fantastic female voice reminding me so much of Mongolian Long song, the "Urtin duu"!

[johnxxx20000]

Thank you very much! All I wanted, when creating this modet tribute, was to show the beauty and singularity of the Inuit culture.

[Edithalba1844]

Dear friend, please allow me to add this quote to the exchange of feelings and opinions on your beautiful video: Humanity may be likened unto the vari-colored flowers of one garden. There is unity in diversity. Each sets off and enhances the other's beauty. ('Abdu'l-Bahá, Divine Philosophy, p. 25)

[ga3ya3]

i really appreciate this video, and i would be glad to see more and hear more.....even if you can mention references it would be worth it.

My respect to all you spirits.

[psychotherapy09]

mix of throatsinging and indigenous Siberian tones? not bad

[Balatanhan]

I think you al wil find the following ones from you tube interesting (Yakuts Sakha Wonders)There are many other videos showing the link between the central asia (altaic, turkik) people and the unit and native americans. It is amazing to see how our ancestors had travelled such distances.

[aihlo]

cool, great vid. thanks for posting. Are the inuit as messed up as Native Americans in the USA, like suicide and alcoholism, etc?

[johnxxx20000]

Yes, they still were recently, but they have now their own State, the Nunavut. So they can direct their destiny by themselves, and it seems to be the least destructive way to adapt to our modern world...

Thank you for your comment!

[aihlo]

That mightve sounded demeaning, now that i reread what I said, I don't mean "messed up". I just mean, well, everyone probly knows what i mean, there's just no way to sugar coat this issue anymore, it's totally ignored...what happened that is: it kills me, christians chanting thou shall not steal, while living on stolen property? the hypocrisy will be seen if we can summon the Great Spirit to return through our belief and understanding that it was once here. equilirium through wisdom.

[KhleoKisser93]

I love the Inuit culture. I'm even working on a book about the beauty of them all. I wish I really I was apart of such a wonderful and yet mysterious culture.

God Bless.

[oOCaillechOo]

Beautiful.

[trinetis]

I have so great respect for this whole culture. Its so indescribeable how this makes me feel. Sometimes I wish I wasnt born and raised in Denmark. Sometimes I wish I was a part of that. That whole natureloving, spiritual world of no greed at all. I mean - where I live, people whine about nothing getting the right birthdaypresent.. And up there I just get the feeling of such great love and appreciation of what you have.

(Sorry if my english was terrible)

[xttamx]

TO TRINETIS:

I apperciate you admiring my people's culture, you have no idea how much it means to me. But you do not have to be inuit to walk as one of us. Anybody can adopt our ways, dont allow what the rest of this materialistic world does to force you this or that way. Be yourself and be proud be a warrior on your own path of life. You are a comrad to me at least in my eyes.

[trinetis]

But actually, I'm pretty close to this. You know, I live in Denmark and Denmark partly owns Greenland. I so wanna go there, when I've saved enough money. I wanna go there for at least a month and I wanna live as a greenlander - no fancy hotels and such.

[wolfnwren]

This music gets in my bones and my heart. Thank you.

[xttamx]

As a proud half Inuit half Cree Native American man I would like you to know I deeply express my graditude to you for put this video/song up.

[johnxxx20000]

You honor me with your comment!

I hope there were more tributes to the Native peoples of America, and of the whole world!

My best regards

[Kydia]

[txstoryteller]

Haunting!!

[motifontheback]

[INUKSTONER]

Thank you! Soon, for sure..

[sjancke]

I really enjoyed watching it...i love the art work and the music is very fitting!

I love this!

[johnxxx20000]

Thank you for your very kind appreciation!

[arnaud83630]

i research group terra nuna and his song "inuit"? do you know this song please?

[vilisiee]

I love inuits, Seulement les inuits.

[arnauyaqnasook]

just for future reference the inuit from canada don't like to be called "eskimos"

we prefer the term inuit

[Okpakok]

~*Great Video*~

~Skeemo~

[Panchorum]

The human voice is definately the best thing in the world.

[maferYT]

Thank you for the video. Your explanations are really interesting!

[1OLDWAC]

Yet another beautiful part of the human contribution to our search for the uniqueness

of our existence. Beautiful Beautiful!

[mossyslopes]

That was really beautiful.

[HabibiLooks]

This is very similar to Mongolian long song... we truly are the same people.

[BIGpapaUS]

i think this is so cool throat music!!! and inuit eskimo music

[BIGpapaUS]

This is for my little man keenan who is very special to me.hope you like it little man.
