Natives!! You are one of the few who has correctly used the term when describing of the original settlers of a land. Many others incorrectly use the term indigenous, Indian, etc., which are condescending terms. After watching this video, instead of "can you believe how they live here?" I'm walking away with "what a great life they have here!".

I used heroine as a way to escape ptsd from combat and now the bond that I have with my son is like anything else.

Multiculturalism doesn't work. It's how races and ethnicities have survived for so long. People aren't invited to other lands by the people. The government imports future voters. People are proud to be who they are and want their own nations. This global NWO isn't going to wash unfortunately for them. England is over run by British passport holders that aren't britons. Our kids have been sacrificed on the alter for diversity no one asked for. Don't let people take over.

Alaska is such an untouched state and there is a peace they must feel because they are so far removed from so much of the country especially in very populated cities. Untouched real spirit real values and a deep respect for Mother Nature.....Paradise found if you can survive the cold temps! 😊

Lovely to watch. It’s always amazing to see how different we all live.

I lived in Gambell when my son was 2 my dad worked at the clinic and my mom was a teacher. It was an awesome experience. We loved trying all the different foods. Bowhead was my favorite. I'm born and raised in Alaska and it was fun living in another part of Alaska and experiencing life out there.

I love the police officer's dark sense of humour, that's a resilient spirit

What a wonderful and interesting journey. I liked Sonny's personality so much, reminded me of a colleague I worked with a few years ago, with that subtle and chill sense of humor. Nick was very funny too. It's amazing to ''meet'' such nice and relatable people from all over the world through your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this series with us Peter!

The whale hunter is my favorite. With total humility and a cadre of adoring fans, he casually explains how he basically saved the village in 2020. Lower 48, take heed.

Noticing the young man who was offered a scholarship for wrestling, had some kids following them. You can say he’s becoming somewhat of a role model for them. It’s not too difficult to see why he would be hesitant to go to the states and leave his family and community behind.

Derek Jr's story has a movie like quality to it. Young island villager who caught 2 whales when he was just 16, has a promising sports scholarship offered to him on the mainland - he has to decide whether to leave his peaceful but quiet home behind, and possibly let its history die with it, or chase his dreams beyond the horizon. On another note, I hope the youngers can keep the regalia and traditions within their culture alive.

I love hearing about the lives of the natives in any country especially the country I live in they're very wise and we can learn a lot from them.

I am absolutely speechless on this content you are keep providing to us. Thank you! These people are so beautiful souls, has so much love, and humbleness in is heir talk…. God bless you all

What a beautiful place!! Many thanks and blessings to the Siberian Yupik people for allowing you to share this awesome island with us. 🙂👍

Peter I came across your videos recently and I can't stop watching. I have always been intrigued by the history of Native Americans and I love this series that you are doing. The history and life styles of the Native Americans are Beautiful and simple and so in tuned with nature. You are so genuine, natural and unbias in your interviews with everyone , it shows your respect and admiration for their life styles.

Absolutely breath taking scenery. And it looks so peaceful. And the people seem so nice. Im sure you will always remember this trip.

I really admire how it seems all native people really take care of each other and don't waste. More people need to try to be like them.

I've lived with and near natives and they are the most wasteful people I've encountered. They rarely work for what they have.

@Google commie Fktard People practice ethnocentrism. And they'd toss paint on a fur coat because they think people go out to kill an animal JUST FOR the pelt rather than understanding that they ate the animal, didn't let the hide go to waste in a landfill. How many hides are kept after slaughtering cows to make hamburger? How many hides are in the landfills rather than making shoes, laces, rope, purses, covering couches/chairs, moccasins, trousers, backpacks, diapers, etc. We WASTE it because we cave to those idiots that those the paint.

@A Z I just realized I read your comment wrong and I apologize.

It genuinely blows my mind how differently some people live, and to think this is still in the UNITED STATES! That's what really baffles me. In a way, despite all of their challenges, these people are incredibly lucky. They have a true community, one that virtually no other American will understand, or even has the capacity to understand. Hats off to these people.

America is a very beautiful and diverse country and it even has many unique cultures that have come about since the founding of the US, it's very important to keep in touch with your people's culture I'm a White American and listening to old blue grass, country and western music has really helped me connect with my people's culture that unfortunately many people have forgotten about

You've gotta travel to the Pacific Northwest. It's mind blowing gorgeous

Love this. This is only the second of your videos I've seen, but I've just pulled up several others to watch. Having grown up in Alaska, though I've never been to St. Lawrence Island, it still brings back a TON of memories from my childhood through early adult life, from having lived about half that time in Old Valdez, and then for another 13 years in New Valdez, after the quake. I miss Alaska very much. My dad used to visit St. Lawrence Island over the years, because he was a builder, and in the 60s, he was one of the few men around Alaska who knew how to fix Xerox machines...he was the first one licensed to do that, in Alaska. That position took him to many remote places, as the villages were able to get the machines. Thank you for sharing your trip.

peters content is amazing, helped me through hard times and i learned so much about other cultures etc

I would have never imagined that people in US administered areas will be living like that and what a beautiful landscape this island has and the people too, hunting whales and walruses, amazing work enjoyed it thoroughly, a subscriber from Pakistan.

This thing called life...the vastness and granularity is bewildering. We're all here for it... Thanks for keeping such an elegant and raw chronicle of this way point in time, Peter.

Peter, you're channel brings big city people like me, briefly into lives that we rarely see. These people live honourably and peacefully each day and make this sorry world a little better. Many thanks for your insightful travel logs that keep me coming back.

the nick's sens of humor is on point ! hes a little sniper

Thanks for sharing this one Peter. Regarding that feeling you mention, I can resonate with your experience; when I travelled to the island of Guam a few months ago where my people are from, I noticed a similar sense of electricity (the best way I could describe it) on the island that I've only experienced in a few other places like Mt. Whitney, CA that have a natural commanding presence that really demands your humble attention. As i've grown older ive become less spiritual in the conventional sense and have grown aware to an undeniable natural energy that is beyond measurable qualification but certainly begs the question as to what else is out there.... what an extraordinary experience these peak moments are that we get to experience. Thanks again for sharing, cant wait for the next one.

How beautifully magnanimously awesome!! I feel the intensity..wow!!

I’ve been watching these videos and I just want to thank you for doing this. You have done an amazing job shedding light on indigenous people like myself. I’m from the Ho-Chunk Nation in Wisconsin. Which now I live in South Carolina at this time on the Rez here. Enough about me I just want to say that seeing other people who look like me hearing them speak and laugh it takes me home. It’s unfortunate to not go to the gas station and not see people like me there for example. When I go home you see everyone like me and most of them are related to me. It’s just been so nice to see the pride and love from other tribes it makes my heart full! Maybe you can connect with some Ho Chunks soon we aren’t a rez and we are pretty spread out hard to lock us down just saying 😂 Thanks again

This is just amazing. I love Nick’s sense of humor! Such amazing people. Thank you for sharing this.

it would be nice to have the Siberian yupik visitation as a tradition. it would be great for keeping in touch with distant clans and bringing in new bloods.

Other cultures are just amazing to learn about. Keep on with the videos. Amazing work.

Love your closing comments. I lean towards believing that those fine, noble people are living the way we once did, with the same value for family and community; and hard work and role modelling - all of which has largely disappeared from Northern communities of Alaska and Northern Canada; Newfoundland included (where I hail from).

I fished around St. Lawrence Island in the 80s. Many days we could see Russia. This was when the cold war was ongoing. I find it interesting the differences between the natives in this video compared to the Athabaskan natives that live in my area. Very interesting and well filmed video.

WOW, Peter, amazing. I am older women and this is something I feel I have missed. Thank you so much for this doing this and sharing. You are a very blessed man. You are drawing so much from your experience, which is helping others see the world. Thank you! Ever video is amazing and thank you. I live in the southern part of Alabama. Come visit.

Holy moly. I could follow Sonny for days and just listen to him talk about their island. So honest and straightforward. You just know you will learn something new once he opens his mouth.
