Netsilik Eskimos on NOVA explores culture under pressure
A NOVA documentary follows Balikci back to Pelly Bay to chronicle the Netsilik people’s shift from dog sleds and skin clothing to Hondas and motorboats after a decade of Western influence and a deadly influenza outbreak. The film contrasts old seal hunting methods with modern techniques, while elders discuss identity and survival for their children.
