Episode of Series “The Stories of Tuktu”.
A general look at some of the things made by the Inuit and a commentary on the clever use that they make of the few materials that are available in their harsh environment. We come to the conclusion that they are highly skilled, overcoming problems that to us would seem almost insurmountable.
