  • I worked in Sanaquilowack years ago. Two belugas tried to get into the bay. Lunch time! The inuit dropped those whales with rifles pronto. They rushed out with skiffs. Within a couple of hours only a small piece of bone or two was left on the shore. Virtually no waste. A can of beans was about $6 then. The inuit must hunt to survival. It is their right. It is their land. I am a kabluna and I know it.

  • @coolhandjackman Well said.

  • All the whale hippies need to STFU. Where are the Millions of Native Americans hunting buffalo today? They are either dead, or on reservations sucking on a 40.

  • This show should be called "A day in the life of Whale Hunters and Reindeer Herders whom are very poor and starving"! Not survival, existence.

  • 240p....come on...are you based in Africa or something...

  • I cant feed five children so you know what I do? DONT GET PREGNANT. I dont understand any person regardless of whether they live in the middle of bfe in sudan or a home in boston that has one child much less a bunch that cant even feed themselves. Its called either pull out or just dont fuck.

  • a bunch of comments from biased fools I see

  • 12.40 Roman Abromahich owns Chelsea F.C football club in England he is very rich

  • When does Russia follow rules? :) But seriously, IWC go f*k with Japanese whale hunters.

  • Woww, people are sometimes a real bitch and extremely ignorant. Who would keep them starving by making them use traditional methods? Its not like they're going to fish more than they already do.

  • I wonder how close are they related to the Alaskan Natives. They look identical.

    FTW, the indigenous North Americans are doing great for themselves. From eastern Canada right up to Alaska.

  • @CruzanRastamon

    of course they are related, Bering Land Bridge.

  • Why does everyone point fingers at someone else? No one country is to blame more than anyone else! WE* are all to blame.

    Instead, why not use our compassion for these and other people to UNITE us together.... Together, WE (* world entities) can do something about injustice all over the world!

    If I can help in some way, please let me know.

  • This is traditional whaling !!! With the harpoon in the hand !! Very nice !! You can't compare this to an industrial Jap whaling fleet !!!

  • Its obvious that the IWC in restricting the manner in which the Whale is hunted to traditional means as a way of limiting the numbers caught each season. I think they are quite fearful that by allowing mechanized hunting they could decimate the whale population in that particular region.

  • I have no problem with Whale hunting if its a matter of survival rather than tradition. Unfortunately some countries partake of the practice so they can sell the meat as a delicacy and I totally disagree with that.

  • save the gay unborn baby whales of wang ding dang

  • Well, I live in Russia and really enjoyed this video. Even if it was shot in over part of Russia it really seems for me like another part of world, like if I was watching images of Australia. So fascinating. I really hope that those people's problems will get solved. Also, I was very impressed to see that local people still maintain their traditional way of life.

  • they are catching whales for food which in my opinion is ok if it is a neccestity which is very true in this case good on them.

  • remarkable people, to be critical of anything they have done for 3,000 years to survive the hellish north is simply foolish. These people know what they are doing. They have not caused the immeasurable losses in whale stock that the japanese have with industrial fleets hunting entire pods and killing them all. These people are to be admired and any criticism of their 'cruelty' is laughable if not an outright sin.

  • These indigenous people prospered and flourished under the russians. Where are the indigenous people of Alaska? They're all gone...

    One more thing: these Chukotskis are 5miles away from the 'dream land of hope'... NOT ONE DEFECTED or EMMIGRATED OVER TO AMERICA. I wonder why? Possibly because they are down to earth and have a lot more common sense than so called 'civilised city folk'?

  • @CavalerVlah

    all gone eh? you fucking moron, go to Alaska, there are natives everywhere.

  • @CavalerVlah off course they have more common sense.and btw, this isn't some jungle tribe to be looked down upon.they are civilized.just not so industrialized.soviets had and i believe, still have as russia, one of the best educational systems in the world.so those guys, even tho they hunt whales as their ancestors did, may be a lot better educated than most of the america's midwest.

  • CavalerVlah What are you talking about! The Chukotskis HAD NO WAY TO DEFECT! The point being...they WERENT FREE ! Those who LEFT OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING from Alaska did so because they WERE FREE TO CHOOSE. Go paint your Socialistic, communistic illusion for people who dont have any brains in there head and are looking for what they think is a free meal ticket.You keep banging your drum for gov control. I'll keep donating to charities without it being filtered through the pocket of big gov!

  • It is so good to learn of other cultures, and not judge them. but learn what their history is about and how they have lived for ages.. They have a right to their way of life, just as any other group of peoples. it would be so nice to see these kinds of videos on regular tv instead of the trash that the corporate media decides to shove down our throats, So I have stopped watching tv. This video is fascinating and I truly appreciate the filming and posting of it. Its like meeting a new friend :-)

  • Well said...

  • wow beautiful

  • there isnt anything wrong with eating a whale..thays what they are made for. praise be to God almighty

  • Very good video. Teaches to understand diferent cultures and people.

  • When Americans go on kill human beings for oil..to have a life stile destroying the nature , they use modern technologies for billions ..and make the Chukchi to hunt their food on skin boats...The world is one absurd place

  • @kirilmv forget killing for oil...how about killing for convenience?! The slaughter of innocent unborn children, All of which could be adopted if the government would get out of things. That alone should resend our governments rights to case judgment on ANYTHING! These people don't waste, they take care of their own, old and young. They have no gov. from any nation trying to help...only control the only thing these people have to be controlled. God protect them!

  • you cant expect a culture to give up the food their ancestors survived on. love to learn about the struggles of different cultures. thanks so much for downloading.

  • I can see Russia From my Hoausse!

  • Never mind looking at Russia, you need a dictionary to learn how to spell.

  • @Breemode are you serious?

  • @popper504 Yah, Its right ouver there

  • well...I guess this isn't like the hunting of blue tuna.

  • Fantastic

  • Absolutely fascinating!!!

  • The rich and powerful politician is an interesting guy. I hope he is good friends with President Putin. Otherwise, this governor is going to end up on the bottom of the ocean wearing a concrete swimsuit.

  • I don't understand why these people are following the rules of the Irrational Whaling Commission. It is not a law enforcement agency, can't arrest anyone, and has no authority other than public opinion. These people should use whatever methods they can to hunt whales. And if the IWC rep doesn't like it, then he can go overboard and swim back to shore. The restrictions that are being put on these people show a blatantly racist attitude on the part of the IWC.

  • Thank you for sharing!!

  • Very informative...
