The guys face on the cover is Itermonyaq, of ''The people of the Netsiilik'' who was filmed in the early 50;s as him his wife Tingook, and their adopted grandson made a living in the Canadian Arctic, completely off the land, no guns, etc. They later were to reappear on the movie ''Never Cry Wolf'' as the Old Inuit folks the main character hunted with, and the young Inuit man who hunted Wolves.
We once owned a version , as we home schooled our kids and the curriculum had these movies.
Any filming made, is done ''Hollywood'', aka, editing and voiced over.....there is no other way, film is film...
Point Hope, for all its good and bad, is the longest contentiously occupied place in North America.
The ''old village'' where they are is abandoned due to erosion, and quite a new town was started in the 60's and slowly people moved over.
One cool note, his 1917 Enfeild 30-06 was most likely given to him at the end of his Alaska Territorial Guard service, as were all the other ATG rifles given out in 1942. I used to have a 1/2 dozen of them, as they were very common.
