Recently produced a movie named: History of the Inupiat.
A truely compelling movie that is shocking & sad; to say the least.

Watch these elders (in Barrow) cry as they recount the outright murder of 100's of thousands of innocent people - by the white man !!

I have written extensively about the Inupiat Peoples in Point Hope & Barrow.
I have no doubt made some mistakes; but none so severve as this:

I wrote that Point Hope had a population of over 10,000 people BEFORE the Whaling companies arrived and they were reduced to just 190 people.

( I was bashed as providing false information as the number was significantly much lower).

I was wrong. I was shocked to find out the TRUE FIGURES. (gasp).
The coastal villages (8) had a population of over 340,000 and were reduced to 1,200 !!!
For even more shocking facts about this unique culture – be sure to obtain a copy of this movie and DUCK-IN
another movie to clearly show the bizzare method(s) used to discriminate against the Inupiat peoples of Alaska !!


This movie is a MUST to watch! ESPECIALLY IF YOU INTEND TO VISIT BARROW & INTERACT WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO THIS ISSUE.


A magnificent documentry by Rachel Naninaaq Edwardson – Director / Producer
