Nanook of the North (1922)
- The hearthstone of the Eskimo... Seal oil for fuel - moss for wicking-a stone pot for melting snow. The temperature within the igloo must be kept below freezing to prevent dome and walls from melting
- Nyla chews Nanook's boots to soften them, a most important operation, for sealskin boots become stiff and unwieldy overnight.
- Rubbing noses - the Eskimo kiss.
- Breaking camp, Nanook and his family ever on the quest for food prepare to start for the sealing grounds at sea
- If Nanook had not put his sled on top of the igloo for the night, the dogs would have eaten the seal hide thongs which bind it parts together
- As Artic snow is dry as sand. the sled runners must be glazed with ice to make them slide easily.
- The tiny igloo Nanook made for the puppies has kept them warm all night and safe from the hungry jaws of their big brothers.
- The puppy rides in Cunayou' hood during the day.
- The kingships of Nanook's master dog is challenged
- How Nanook hunts the "Ogjuk" - the big seal.
- Being a mammal, the seal has to breathe frequently, so from the time the ice, each animal keeps at least one funnel-like hole open to the surface so it can come up for air at twenty-minute intervals.
- From the smell of flesh and blood comes the blood. lust of the wolf - his forebear.
- The most desired of all meat is that of seal. It affords the maximum of warmth and sustenance. The 'blubber-eating Eskimo' is a misconception. Blubber they use as we use butter.
- With a relic of the feast, a seal flipper Allegoo and his companion enjoy a tug of war.
- By the time the team is straightened, a threatening "drifter" drives in from the north.
- Almost perishing from the icy blasts and unable to reach their snowhouse, the little family is driven to take refuge in a deserted igloo
- The shrill piping of the wind, the rasp and hiss of driving snow, the mournful wolf howls of Nanook's master dog typify the melancholy spirit of the North.
