Nanook of the North

Videos

There has been considerable discussion in the course about the objectivity of the film, Nanook of the North, and it’s portrayal of Innu people. This 1920’s black and white film is of some historical significance if only because there’s practically no other footage around. Click on the link below to view the film Nanook of the North.

The Innu Nation has a couple of websites with plenty of information about their history and their culture. When I took a look at the Innu Nation site, the links were all down. Perhaps you’ll have better luck. Innu AIMUN has some good resources and their links are working.
