You ask just the right questions. Very respectful. Very kind. Without your insightful questions it would just be another kind of meaningless documentary. You have brought something new to the scene. I really appreciate that.

i moved back to my reservation from the inner cities after college because us as native people know what freedom really is. i can hunt, pick food be connected to the culture and live a good life around the people and land i know.

I feel like the mainstream media only ever shows the bad side of remote communities like depression, alcoholism, etc. Which exists elsewhere too. But they rarely shine a light on the cool aspects of living more traditionally and closer to nature. Thanks for providing viewers with a different perspective!

I have wanted to live in Alaska ( not in Fairbanks, no city life) for about four decades, my dreams have not come into reality, and now I’m way too old to be self sufficient in such extreme weather. Young people: whatever your dreams may be, DO IT, don’t wait for any reason, just DO IT, live while you still can. God bless one and all.

As an Alaskan, I commend your respect and truthful video of our Native people.

This is my native home town!!! I’m SHOCKED TO SEE IT HERE! Thank you!

“ I feel native” that’s all he needed to say … living that close to the land in such a harsh place you have to be native it’s in your blood… awesome people!!! 👍

Thank you Peter. I am an armchair traveler and your videos are the best. I hate the process of traveling and am getting too old now but you go to places I would love to visit if I could just get taken up from home and dropped down in new places. You are a perfect guest because of your easy way.

do more on native american reservations, all over the US and Canada, theres so much to see and learn

I love how they work for each other's family before they get Married. That is an absolute bonding experience that would make others feel comfortable around each other. I think it's genius

I'm yupiq, inupiaq, and siberian yupiq. My grandma Grace and Uncle Tommy are from Gambell. First visit i ever had they had just caught a whale and were cutting off pieces and handing it out. I know I'm blessed to be part of something so special

I love hearing the guys say "This is our way of life." Simple six words I've heard said from many indigenous people across this land. And it makes sense given that the indigenous ways of life were criminalized, demonized, and nearly extinguished. It's a powerful thing to see folks fighting to keep their traditions alive and live off the land. Nature isn't something out there; it's our home, it's our mother. And yet so many of us are completely alienated from it and take it for granted. Thanks for sharing.

Is it me or was Peter way "happier" here, compared to most of his videos? You see him smiling in almost every shot.

Being born and raised in Alaska and then moving to the states. I like the way he said " you feel free here" explains Alaska perfectly. Always love going back home to Alaska to visit, it resets my soul and reminds me how insignificant the petty stuff of the states is. I'm really glad, that you respectfully put the culture of Alaska in these videos.

Love how you showed the life of just the people who live there. No government officials or council members. Just daily life

I grew up on the coast of Norway. I remember the first time I travelled inland for a long time without seeing the ocean. Took me a while to understand what was wrong, felt sort of like a pressure weighing on me. And I remember the joy of seeing the ocean again, walked straight down to the shore, stripped to my boxers and went straight in.

My husband participated in Operation Santa Clause and visited Savoonga on one of their trips several years ago. When he got home (we lived in Anchorage) he was full of stories about the people. He was so impressed! On one of the trips he made (I don't recall which village now) he was serving as the unpacker/organizer. They had brought in a cargo plane filled with Christmas: gifts, food, and much needed supplies. As he worked to cut open the boxes he heard laughing coming from various groups of the elders in the gym (they were setting up in the school's gym). He finally asked one of the elders why they were laughing at him. The man kindly explained that he was using a "woman's knife" and they thought it was quite entertaining. My white husband wore a sheathed ulu on his belt for easy access and was proudly using it to get the job done. He didn't know it was considered a woman's tool. They all had a good laugh together and the experience really endeared my husband to those people. It was one of his most talked about trips.

this is the best travel channel on youtube

56 miles one way in a small boat is crazy, and extremely terrifying.
