Mar 30th, 2017: Inuits
Brian Adams is a Pro photographer, author, and blogger. He likes to photograph smaller towns of American citizens.
You know, the kind of town you may live in, or maybe grew up in, but certainly know people who do. What, your neighbors don't spread blubber in the yard to freeze? Well, they must hunt and fish and steam bathe like every one else. And they certainly must maintain their vehicles unless they're rich enough to trade every year. Some must rock&roll, giggle and act coy if it's not a selfie, and hang out at the diner or bar swapping lies. See, just typical Americans. But they don't look like us, they look funny, they look foreign. Well they're Inuits, and their small American town is in the American State of Alaska. They do American things like work, and curse the weather, watch TV, have family problems, celebrate birthdays, catch diseases, love, loathe, and die like every other American. But they're different. We're all different, we're all individuals, but we're all Americans in the same boat and better start paddling in the same fucking direction or we're going to sink together. Capiche?

I know it has been said before, however, everyone who lives on this continent came from some other place. We're all immigrants. We just arrived at different times for different reasons.

In fairness that describes everywhere humans live aside from a relatively small area of Africa.

There is a film, Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, that is made by an Inuit director. It takes place in the ancient past, and is definitely worth watching. According to wikipeia,

The trailers for the film don't begin to show how astounding the film is. Put it on your kweekwee (queue)

Thanks for the tip.
