the most cheerful people in all the world
... so much truth in that statement, "the most cheerful people in all the world" .. That is almost a myth these days, PUCK says...
BACKGROUND: Setting off by canoe with Indigenous guides in June 1920, Flaherty followed
Moose River to Moose Factory on James Bay. Here, he boarded a schooner,
and finally, in August, reached Inukjuak (formerly Port Harrison) in
Nunavik. Holding auditions, he selected a man of the Itivimuit tribe
named Allakariallak for his star, whom he would subsequently immortalize
as Nanook of the North.
MEANWHILE:
Otis was looking at
THE FILM:
The intertitles set the scene for Nanook’s introduction — a man
untroubled by the corrupting influences of civilization. “The sterility
of the soil and the rigor of the climate no other race could survive;
yet here, utterly dependent upon animal life, which is their sole source
of food, live the most cheerful people in all the world — the fearless,
lovable, happy-go-lucky Eskimo.”
