00:00:15,975 --> 00:00:18,644
GORDON PINSET: Last time
on The Polar Sea.
2
00:00:18,686 --> 00:00:22,272
The passage explorers are in
the kingdom of the polar bear,
3
00:00:22,314 --> 00:00:25,484
where the mythic beast
is a source of
fear and concern.
4
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:26,861
MAN:
We have to be able to track
5
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:28,570
the condition
of polar bears
6
00:00:28,612 --> 00:00:31,072
and determine
what's happening.
7
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:33,158
PINSET: On the rugged coasts
of Baffin Island,
8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,244
scientists are racing
to fill knowledge gaps
9
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:38,372
in Arctic biology,
10
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:41,166
as it changes
before their eyes.
11
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:43,293
You're starting to get robins
up here,
12
00:00:43,335 --> 00:00:46,171
I mean, think about it.
Robins up in the Arctic?
13
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:48,799
PINSET: Yet ancient
traditions remain,
14
00:00:48,841 --> 00:00:51,343
like the hunting of narwhals.
15
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:55,305
Now, as some sailors make a
dash deeper into the passage,
16
00:00:55,347 --> 00:00:57,641
the crew of Dax
find themselves broken down
17
00:00:57,683 --> 00:00:58,934
in the wilderness.
18
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:56,157
PINSET:
Dax has traveled
almost 4,000 kilometers
19
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:57,576
on its quest,
20
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:59,119
and it's worn out.
21
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:06,293
RICHARD TEGNER: We didn't have
much wind so we motored a lot.
22
00:02:08,545 --> 00:02:11,048
Maybe up to 90% of our time
23
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:14,468
on the boat we spent motoring
24
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:17,930
and which would show later
on that was not very
25
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:19,932
good thing to do
with this boat.
26
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:31,485
MAN: Here you are.
Thanks.
27
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:32,778
(BOY SPEAKING)
28
00:02:34,446 --> 00:02:35,781
Hello.
29
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:37,658
You are fine?
Yeah.
30
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:40,535
MARTIN SIGGE: We
have a leakage from
the water pump.
31
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:44,205
We need to bilge every hour.
It's just, we...
32
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:47,001
You know, what can we do?
We can't just continue,
33
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:48,877
so we're back here.
34
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,671
So we'll see what we have.
35
00:02:54,382 --> 00:02:57,469
We don't know
how long it's going to last.
36
00:02:57,511 --> 00:02:59,805
I'm going to get a hold
of our mechanic tomorrow
37
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:02,181
in Sweden and talk to them
and see if it can be mended.
38
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:05,144
Yeah, it's...
39
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:26,123
We are safe.
We are alive.
40
00:03:26,957 --> 00:03:28,750
That's number one.
41
00:03:28,792 --> 00:03:30,794
These problems
put a kind of...
42
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:34,131
Cloud over...
43
00:03:35,174 --> 00:03:36,675
The...
44
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:38,259
The nice views.
45
00:03:47,019 --> 00:03:49,980
PINSET: They hang on to hope
that Dax can be fixed.
46
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:57,237
But they're too far from home
to get the parts it needs.
47
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,117
SIGGE: We realize that this
48
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,494
engine cannot be trusted.
49
00:04:04,536 --> 00:04:07,497
It would be stupid to go on.
50
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:11,793
I am, of course,
very sad for this.
51
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:14,504
That's all I've been planning,
really, for 18 months or so,
52
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:17,257
so it's a hard blow.
53
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,342
But,
54
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:21,970
what should I tell their wives
55
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:23,722
if I survive and they don't?
56
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,267
(CHUCKLING)
57
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:33,273
There's a loss to not see
the rest of the passage
58
00:04:34,482 --> 00:04:36,359
but we have seen Greenland
59
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:40,280
and we have seen
part of Canada and...
60
00:04:43,242 --> 00:04:45,702
One should be
satisfied for that.
61
00:04:45,744 --> 00:04:47,370
There were some good moments
in Greenland,
62
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:50,498
but I don't remember
them exactly.
63
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:53,418
I spent most of the time
in the engine room,
64
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,088
with my feet up
and my head down,
65
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,840
trying to fix various
technical issues.
66
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:01,218
It feels like...
67
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:04,554
A bit like
an amputated adventure.
68
00:05:04,596 --> 00:05:07,390
I agree with Bengt
who described...
69
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:11,603
Our experiences so far,
70
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,605
which has been
wonderful, but
71
00:05:14,106 --> 00:05:15,899
I really
72
00:05:15,941 --> 00:05:20,403
would have liked
to complete this journey
73
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:25,366
and sort of cope
with all the difficulties
74
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:29,329
that would have occurred
during the rest of it.
75
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:40,841
TEGNER: I didn't feel like
going home really.
76
00:05:42,301 --> 00:05:46,387
I was at the beginning
of the Canadian Arctic
77
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:50,058
and I saw all of
this beautiful mountains
78
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:53,270
and glaciers and wow.
79
00:05:53,312 --> 00:05:54,938
I don't want to go home.
80
00:05:57,107 --> 00:05:59,400
I talked to Martin and Bengt
81
00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:00,944
if it was okay with them
82
00:06:00,986 --> 00:06:03,905
that I would continue
on my own.
83
00:06:03,947 --> 00:06:06,074
I really asked them
84
00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:08,535
more than once if they agree
85
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:10,287
on me leaving the boat and
86
00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:13,665
causing them more work.
87
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:16,668
Sure. Yeah.
We are all for it.
88
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:17,878
It's...
89
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:18,962
Good for him.
90
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:28,638
I will go out to the boat,
get my stuff...
91
00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:31,390
This is what I dreamed of.
92
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:38,606
And the way to get here
was this boat.
93
00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:40,234
DAX.
94
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:43,695
And my friend, Martin
who gave me the opportunity.
95
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:47,991
I love this place
and I'll see what I can
96
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:49,408
get out of it.
97
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:09,428

Ladies and gentlemen,
98
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:12,640

Take care.
101
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:30,325
PINSET: Dax will go by barge
102
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:31,952
to be stored in Montreal.
103
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:36,748
BENGT: We only got
halfway this time.
104
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:38,417
We may...
105
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:41,336
Complete the other half
another time,
106
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:43,504
maybe from the other end,
I don't know.
107
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:45,506
I'm not giving up.
108
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:48,302
Just making a stop now
for a year or so.

PINSET: Martin and Bengt
will fly home to Sweden.

TEGNER: When we
made the decision,
111
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:11,032
I felt sad
112
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:13,994
because we couldn't complete
the Northwest Passage
113
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,329
with this boat.
114
00:08:22,294 --> 00:08:24,879
It's no principle to complete
115
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:27,924
the passage
in the traditional way.
116
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,511
I'm an Arctic hitchhiker now.

in Pond Inlet,

at the entrance
to the Northwest Passage,
119
00:08:43,023 --> 00:08:46,443
6,000 kilometers from
its end in Alaska.
120
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:53,408
TEGNER: Being onboard the Dax,
121
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:56,536
I must say it has been
an experience for me,
122
00:08:56,577 --> 00:08:58,163
very useful.
123
00:08:58,205 --> 00:08:59,747
It made me
124
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:03,543
look at myself
in a more clear way.
125
00:09:04,503 --> 00:09:05,920
And
126
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:10,717
look at myself through,
for example, Kerstin's eyes.
127
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:13,345
At home,
128
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:18,599
I am a bit critical
about Kerstin,
129
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:20,394
how she does things
130
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:24,689
and being on board the Dax,
131
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:29,403
I experienced Martin behaving
the same way
132
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:32,447
I think I do at home and
133
00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:34,574
it was not at all pleasant.
134
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:39,454
Because of these experiences
I have made,
135
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:43,208
I think I will come back
as a better Richard.
136
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:50,965

at the Parks Canada,
146

you really feel
that you're in the Arctic.

Very hard wind.
161
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:18,737

00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,356
There's no rooms
for anybody.
181
00:13:35,398 --> 00:13:38,817
It's just the flat bed
for everybody.
182
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:42,989
It was more peaceful.
183
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:44,616
Families are together.
184
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:49,579
There is a lot to love
in a little house like that.
185
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:52,999
We traveled by dog team.
186
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,336
We would have
about 14, 15 dogs
187
00:13:56,377 --> 00:13:57,836
to pull the whole families.
188
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,091
Very peaceful.
189
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:03,884
The dogs never tied up.
190
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,097
They live in peace too.
191
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:13,019
And then our lives
start changing.
192
00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:19,609
PINSET: In the 1950s,
the Canadian government
193
00:14:19,651 --> 00:14:22,654
feared that its claim
of national sovereignty
194
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:25,615
over the Northwest Passage
was weak.
195
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:27,742
The United States
has always considered
196
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:30,870
the passage
international waters.
197
00:14:30,911 --> 00:14:33,956
Canada worried about the US
and other countries
198
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:36,876
sending icebreakers
or submarines through.
199
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:40,171
To claim sovereignty,
200
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:44,008
Canada needed people living
in the high Arctic,
201
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:48,763
but no Canadian citizens
lived North of Pond Inlet.
202
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:51,098
Higher in the passage,
at Resolute Bay,
203
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:53,434
Canada had just built
an air base.
204
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:59,649
Now, bureaucrats decided
it needed civilians there
205
00:14:59,691 --> 00:15:01,735
to bolster
its sovereignty claim.
206
00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:05,613
So, they hatched a plan
to move Inuit North.
207
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,492
They convinced Inuit
from Port Harrison,
208
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:12,245
on Hudson's Bay, to move north
209
00:15:12,286 --> 00:15:13,996
with the promise
of better hunting.
210
00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:17,417
The officials did that knowing
211
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:21,128
that Port Harrison's Inuit
had no experience hunting
212
00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:23,172
the big game
of the high Arctic.
213
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:26,008
So hunters from Pond Inlet
214
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:28,094
were also recruited
to go north
215
00:15:28,135 --> 00:15:29,929
and help those
from Port Harrison.
216
00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:34,559
That's where Zipporah's family
came in.
217
00:15:40,314 --> 00:15:42,901
Joseph Idlout was
known in Pond Inlet
218
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:44,569
as a great hunter.
219
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:47,572
There had even been
a documentary about him.
220
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:50,324
Now government officials
convinced him
221
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:53,202
that the hunting would be
even better further north.
222
00:15:53,244 --> 00:15:57,206
So he agreed to move
his family to Resolute Bay
223
00:15:57,248 --> 00:16:00,543
and Zipporah's father felt
compelled to follow.
224
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:13,473
KALLUK: The people who
asked us to come here,
225
00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:16,350
they're more powerful
than my father.
226
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:18,478
He had to listen to him
all the time,
227
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:19,896
whatever he says.
228
00:16:19,938 --> 00:16:21,564
That's how...
229
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:23,357
That's how we're
supposed to be.
230
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:24,567
That's life.
231
00:16:24,609 --> 00:16:26,611
We had to follow.
232
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:29,113
Anybody who's older than you,
233
00:16:29,155 --> 00:16:32,074
you have to follow,
everything what they say.
234
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:36,996
PINSET: Zipporah left
Pond Inlet for good.
235
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:41,208
Her group eventually
labeled themselves
236
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,377
"Human Flagpoles."
237
00:16:43,419 --> 00:16:46,422
Watching the Northwest Passage
for foreigners,
238
00:16:46,464 --> 00:16:48,007
who never did show up,
239
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,054
until climate change made
the passage safe
240
00:16:54,096 --> 00:16:55,055
for cruise ships.
241
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,643
(HORN BLOWING IN DISTANCE)
242
00:17:00,812 --> 00:17:04,023
TEGNER: My plan is to jump
243
00:17:04,064 --> 00:17:06,776
on a cruise ship
that comes here
244
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:09,612
and leaves on Monday the 19th
245
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:13,366
and that will hopefully
take me
246
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:15,034
all the way to Cambridge Bay.
247
00:17:15,994 --> 00:17:18,329
This is where
my adventure starts.
248
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:37,264
I was waiting
for the passenger group,
249
00:17:38,474 --> 00:17:41,519
and I saw them
coming up the hill
250
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:44,647
like any tourists with
their gear and their cameras
251
00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:47,107
and I thought,
252
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:51,070
"Well, look at this
boring group
of elderly people."
253
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:02,081
PINSET: Richard boards
the Akademik Ioffe.
254
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:06,753
She's a Russian submarine
hunter from the Cold War
255
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:09,088
that is now rented out
for cruises.
256
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:21,726
The cruise will visit
historical sites
257
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:23,185
on the Northwest Passage.
258
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,565
This leg is dedicated
to the Franklin disaster.
259
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:34,072
John Franklin
was a British naval officer
260
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,032
famous for exploring
the passage.
261
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:40,078
All but 300 miles of it
had been mapped
262
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,580
when he sailed in 1845
263
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:46,084
on what Victorians assumed
would be the crowning mission.
264
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:50,630
His warships,
Erebus and Terror,
265
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:53,215
carried 128 men
266
00:18:53,257 --> 00:18:54,801
and everything
they needed to maintain
267
00:18:54,842 --> 00:18:56,677
proper British society.
268
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,722
All they lacked
were the skills
269
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:01,599
to survive the Arctic.
270
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:07,897
The ships sailed into
Lancaster Sound that July.
271
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:12,568
Ships had probed
the sound for 20 years
272
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:15,822
but repeatedly been stopped
by ice at its western end.
273
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:22,536
Franklin made it to
Beechey Island and got stuck.
274
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:27,207
A century later,
Zipporah Kalluk
275
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:31,004
and the Arctic exiles
sailed the same route.
276
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:34,507
Their ship also met heavy ice
in the western sound,
277
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:38,803
but managed to push past
Beechey to reach Resolute Bay.
278
00:19:42,098 --> 00:19:44,266
Neither the British explorers
279
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:46,811
nor Inuit exiles realized
280
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,188
they had sailed
into a different climate.
281
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:52,399
At the western end
of the sound,
282
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:55,111
the relative warmth
of a maritime climate
283
00:19:55,153 --> 00:19:58,197
gives way to
a colder polar desert.
284
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:05,079
It was a difference
Zipporah's family felt
285
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:06,539
as soon as they landed.
286
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:12,211
KALLUK: We come here by ship.
287
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:15,255
When we land here,
288
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:17,466
we couldn't walk on the rocks
289
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:20,845
because we were only wearing
Inuk made kamiks.
290
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,973
They had to give us
rubber boots to walk around.
291
00:20:25,099 --> 00:20:26,392
It was very cold.
292
00:20:26,433 --> 00:20:28,519
Colder than
where we come from.
293
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:32,106
Yeah.
294
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:38,529
PINSET: Inuit had thrived
here 500 years earlier.
295
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:43,743
Then came a cold period,
296
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:45,912
now known
as the Little Ice Age.
297
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:49,331
Inuit abandoned their
whale bone homes
298
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:50,875
and left the region.
299
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:52,418
None had tried to return
300
00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:55,254
before the
human flagpoles arrived.
301
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,927
There's these everywhere
you look.
302
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:04,764
It wasn't that high,
as you guys can see.
303
00:21:06,682 --> 00:21:07,892
Just enough.
304
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:14,148
PINSET: Jeffrey Amaraulik's
grandfather
305
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:16,067
came from Port Harrison.
306
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:17,777
He intended to return
307
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:19,779
if the hunting
was not as promised.
308
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:22,823
My grandparents first came
309
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:25,159
and another group
come over.
310
00:21:25,201 --> 00:21:27,120
They came to these
desolate shore
311
00:21:27,161 --> 00:21:29,288
to pursue
the government's promise
312
00:21:30,081 --> 00:21:32,083
of a more prosperous life.
313
00:21:35,086 --> 00:21:37,713
PINSET: But they weren't
equipped to hunt the big game
314
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:40,424
that were the only food here.
315
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:43,803
AMARAULIK:
They had to get a couple
of families from Pond Inlet
316
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:45,429
to come up and help them
317
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:47,807
get familiarized
with the hunting.
318
00:21:50,143 --> 00:21:51,310
So the Kalluks,
319
00:21:52,103 --> 00:21:55,064
the Kalluk family came up and
320
00:21:55,106 --> 00:21:56,607
helped my family out.
321
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:01,237
Zipporah, I think
she was just a little girl,
322
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:05,365
but her,
her brothers and sisters,
323
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:07,326
parents came up here to
324
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:10,370
help us
325
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:12,957
know this land.
326
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,296
'Cause when you get out here,
there's nothing, gravel.
327
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:21,465
KALLUK: But us,
we never really complained
to governments.
328
00:22:21,507 --> 00:22:24,760
And it's the people
from Port Harrison.
329
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:26,929
They moved them,
330
00:22:26,971 --> 00:22:29,890
but they didn't know the land.
331
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:33,144
They didn't know
what kind of animals it has.
332
00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:34,352
They have no dogs,
333
00:22:34,394 --> 00:22:36,856
and they have
no sleds, nothing.
334
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:38,107
So they couldn't do nothing.
335
00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:39,900
So they were...
336
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:41,277
They didn't like it.

339
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:51,329
AMARAULIK:
This is one of the last
carvings my grandpa ever did.
340
00:22:52,579 --> 00:22:54,372
He was a good man.
341
00:22:54,414 --> 00:22:55,791
Great hunter,
342
00:22:57,001 --> 00:22:58,752
great grandpa.
343
00:22:58,794 --> 00:23:00,046
We miss him.
344
00:23:02,380 --> 00:23:06,052
The government promised
my grandparents,
345
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,346
there would be a ship
that would come,
346
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,018
and they would stand
and wait for hours, even days.
347
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:17,395
That what's this means.
They were waiting and waiting.
348
00:23:19,023 --> 00:23:21,399
Looking that way
where the ship would come,
349
00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:23,944
but it never came.
350
00:23:25,612 --> 00:23:29,075

00:23:57,311 --> 00:23:59,563
That's called Beechey Island.
358
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:03,276
It's a really rough place
to stay in the winter.
359
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:08,030
It's all gray and no colors,
no vegetation, no nothing.
360
00:24:23,379 --> 00:24:27,674
PINSET:
In the Royal Navy tradition,
Franklin's men kept busy.
361
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:31,387
They built their ice fort.
They played games.
362
00:24:31,429 --> 00:24:33,764
But the Arctic
pressed on them.
363
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:36,142
They froze in
their woolen uniforms.
364
00:24:39,561 --> 00:24:42,773
Without fresh meat,
they got scurvy.
365
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:45,734
Three sailors died
on Beechey Island.
366
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:50,530
Their bodies were exhumed
in the 1980s,
367
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:52,574
perfectly preserved
by the cold.
368
00:24:55,493 --> 00:24:57,537
They showed signs
of pneumonia,
369
00:24:57,579 --> 00:24:59,915
scurvy and possible
lead poisoning.
370
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:04,920
All were maladies
they might have avoided
371
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:06,880
by following Inuit ways.
372
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:09,925
But they were far
North of Inuit villages
373
00:25:09,967 --> 00:25:11,509
and most game.
374
00:25:13,887 --> 00:25:18,142
Moreover, Royal Navy personnel
did not deign to hunt
375
00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:22,520
or wear fur and they dismissed
Inuit ways as savage.
376
00:25:24,606 --> 00:25:27,276
They were stuck
inside their ship
377
00:25:27,318 --> 00:25:29,403
and their Victorian attitudes.
378
00:25:31,529 --> 00:25:33,491
Only when Inuit
became Canadian
379
00:25:33,531 --> 00:25:35,533
did attitudes seem to change.
380
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:46,544
By the 1970s, Canada even had
a picture of Joseph Idlout
381
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:49,756
and Zipporah's father
on its currency
382
00:25:49,798 --> 00:25:51,300
to proudly show Canadians
383
00:25:51,342 --> 00:25:53,802
living on
the Northwest Passage.
384
00:25:53,844 --> 00:25:56,096
But the respect
was just symbolic.
385
00:25:57,848 --> 00:26:01,268
Oh, we just do everything,
what the white man says.
386
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:04,730
Anything. Everything.
Little things. Big things.
387
00:26:04,771 --> 00:26:07,066
We couldn't say no because
they were white
388
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:08,775
and way up there.
389
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:12,446
We were just the little people
down there.
390
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:15,282
That's how we see
the white people that time.
391
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:23,581
PINSET: The new arrivals
had been dropped
392
00:26:23,623 --> 00:26:26,710
near the Canadian
air force base.
393
00:26:26,752 --> 00:26:29,255
They were not allowed
into the base, but
394
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:32,091
used its cast-offs to survive.
395
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,053
KALLUK: There was no woods
around here, so
396
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:37,513
the air force people
397
00:26:38,138 --> 00:26:40,057
bring some woods,
398
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:43,601
so my father built that house.
399
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:47,440
So, we had a house.
400
00:26:47,481 --> 00:26:48,732
One year, we didn't.
401
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:52,194
We had to borrow
other people's houses and
402
00:26:52,236 --> 00:26:54,572
live in the tent first
403
00:26:54,612 --> 00:26:57,491
and then have
somebody else's house
404
00:26:57,533 --> 00:27:00,827
until my father finished
the house that he made,
405
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:01,954
our own house.
406
00:27:05,999 --> 00:27:08,377
PINSET:
The famous Joseph Idlout
407
00:27:08,419 --> 00:27:10,087
was allowed into the base
408
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:12,172
and he began
to frequent its bar.
409
00:27:14,592 --> 00:27:16,093
One night, he left the bar,
410
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:18,971
drove his snowmobile off
a cliff and died.
411
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:23,183
His family believed
he killed himself.
412
00:27:26,437 --> 00:27:29,064
His was one of many
drunken suicides
413
00:27:29,106 --> 00:27:32,485
linked to the despair
of the Arctic exiles.
414
00:27:33,651 --> 00:27:35,695
Those who survived
the dark times
415
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:37,531
did it by clinging
to their culture,
416
00:27:38,782 --> 00:27:40,200
especially their music.
417
00:27:41,659 --> 00:27:43,329
KALLUK: When we got here...
418
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:45,456
People,
419
00:27:45,498 --> 00:27:48,417
they throat
singing a lot.
420
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:51,044
When they have
everything they need,
421
00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:52,670
like food,
422
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:55,215
animal skin for clothing,
423
00:27:56,258 --> 00:27:58,594
they celebrate and
424
00:27:58,636 --> 00:28:00,137
they get together
and they do that
425
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:02,389
throat singing and
426
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:05,309
it reminds you of
427
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,355
families were around you and
428
00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:14,401
it makes us feel better and
remember all that.
429
00:28:16,278 --> 00:28:18,864
Proud of my daughter Celina
430
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:21,074
for that she could do that
431
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:23,452
and she's doing very well.
432
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:26,246
I started practicing
433
00:28:26,288 --> 00:28:28,666
when she was
still a little girl.
434
00:28:28,706 --> 00:28:31,001
And then when she was coming
bigger and bigger
435
00:28:31,043 --> 00:28:33,795
as she starts interested how
we do it a little bit,
436
00:28:33,837 --> 00:28:36,923
teaching her how
to do it a little bit and
437
00:28:36,965 --> 00:28:40,135
she's get into that
with other people
438
00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:43,222
who could throat singing and
439
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:46,308
that she is. She is...
440
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,394
That she's very good now.
441
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:51,938
CELINA: Being sung to
by my mother
442
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:55,609
most of my childhood,
all my childhood.
443
00:28:55,651 --> 00:28:56,943
We would... I would hear
all kinds of
444
00:28:58,612 --> 00:29:00,906
different kinds
of throat singing,
445
00:29:01,781 --> 00:29:03,450
hymns,
446
00:29:03,492 --> 00:29:06,161
traditional
Inuk music, even...
447
00:29:19,174 --> 00:29:21,885
I kind of grew a love
for Inuit songs
448
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:25,389
very early on and I realized
throat singing
449
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:27,849
by Inuit is very unique
450
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:30,769
to Inuit but
we didn't hear it very often.
451
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:33,855
The traditional style
of throat singing.
452
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:37,276
I cherish that forever
453
00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:39,653
and I respect that
454
00:29:39,695 --> 00:29:43,574
and I'm able to teach it
to my daughters.
455
00:29:43,616 --> 00:29:46,826
Now we've been able
to teach younger girls
456
00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:48,954
throat singing
and I can throat sing with
457
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,164
almost anyone now.
458
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:01,634
I think the best way
I've seen it,
459
00:30:03,051 --> 00:30:05,387
comparing it to
an English style of singing,
460
00:30:05,429 --> 00:30:07,055
is when you sing
461
00:30:08,265 --> 00:30:09,808
in a canon,
462
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:13,479
or like a zipper.
463
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,522
You can't zipper a zipper with
464
00:30:15,564 --> 00:30:17,441
the little teeth hitting
each other like this,
465
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:18,692
they have to
466
00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:21,861
alternate
and overlap a little bit
467
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:23,739
and hook to
each other like that.
468
00:30:23,781 --> 00:30:26,866
When one girl will breathe in,
469
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:29,286
the other girl or boy
will breathe out.
470
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,752
So it becomes
a circular breathing.
471
00:30:36,794 --> 00:30:39,212
And in that, it becomes a game
472
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:42,215
because you have
to be very quick,
473
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:45,678
and you have
to last pretty good,
474
00:30:45,719 --> 00:30:47,929
and your breath...
You have to be able to
475
00:30:47,971 --> 00:30:51,224
control your breath very well,
so that you don't pass out.

PINSET:
It was their attitude that
enabled the exiles to survive.
484
00:32:52,429 --> 00:32:55,808
Just as it was attitude that
condemned Franklin's sailors.
485
00:32:59,102 --> 00:33:03,356
Franklin's ships
fled Beechey in 1846,
486
00:33:03,398 --> 00:33:06,944
but were soon
trapped in pack ice.
487
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:10,656
Eventually the sailors left
to walk out of the Arctic,
488
00:33:10,697 --> 00:33:13,951
hauling heavy sleds
and lifeboats.
489
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:17,537
And then true darkness
descended.
490
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:33,011
Over the next 30 years,
491
00:33:33,052 --> 00:33:35,555
Britain sent dozens of parties
492
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:37,724
to look for her lost warships.
493
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:45,649
One was finally found
170 years later
494
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,150
on the ocean floor.
495
00:33:53,448 --> 00:33:57,577
The sailors' remains
were found in 1857.
496
00:33:57,619 --> 00:34:01,498
They fell beside life boats
that contained silver cutlery,

00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:04,459
silk scarves and chocolate.
498
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:09,047
They had died hauling vestiges
of Victorian civilization.
499
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:14,845
Even as they became cannibals.
500
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:21,226

They found pieces of
human body parts in pots and
504
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:35,699
this news came back to England
505
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:39,536
with the research expeditions
and they were terrified
506
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:43,540
and they couldn't believe
that noble English gentlemen
507
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:45,083
ate each other,

into the Arctic
and the unknown.
523
00:35:42,474 --> 00:35:45,268
They were last seen that
summer, moored to an iceberg
524
00:35:45,310 --> 00:35:48,021
high in Lancaster Sound,
taking on ice.
525
00:35:48,063 --> 00:35:49,522
They were never seen again.
526
00:35:49,564 --> 00:35:54,193
Franklin and all 128 of
his men never returned.

and their memory.

00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:08,166
share it with
these thirsty sailors.
535
00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:24,432
It's walrus,
536
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,938
narwhal, seals,
narwhals and fishes.
537
00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:41,700
PINSET: In 2010,
the Canadian government
538
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:45,078
formally apologized
to the Inuit exiles.
539
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,164
Their survival story
540
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,208
has become an inspirational
example for young Inuit.
541
00:36:55,296 --> 00:36:58,466
Zipporah and Celina
work together now
542
00:36:58,508 --> 00:37:01,260
to pass their culture
to the next generation.
543
00:37:01,302 --> 00:37:04,222
CELINA: We're having
this bonfire today
544
00:37:04,263 --> 00:37:08,267
to gain interest
for a youth committee.
545
00:37:08,309 --> 00:37:11,855
So, we've invited
everyone in the town.
546
00:37:11,897 --> 00:37:13,481
We don't know who's coming.
547
00:37:13,523 --> 00:37:16,234
Right now
there's a few children.
548
00:37:17,110 --> 00:37:19,154
I know it's cold, but
549
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:21,698
we don't let cold stop us
usually, here, so.
550
00:37:27,286 --> 00:37:29,581
Pick two rocks equal in size
551
00:37:29,622 --> 00:37:31,583
that will fit comfortably
in your hands.
552
00:37:34,335 --> 00:37:35,837
Does everybody have two rocks?
553
00:37:35,879 --> 00:37:36,880
Yeah.
554
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:38,757
Everybody ready?
555
00:37:41,509 --> 00:37:43,386
CELINA: Okay, go!
KALLUK: Okay.

This is what
you're gonna get!

PINSET:
One irony of the exiles story
562
00:38:35,272 --> 00:38:38,900
is that global warming has now
shifted the climate north.
563
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:43,780
The exiles have gotten
got back the climate
564
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:46,658
that they left behind
50 years ago.
565
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:49,619
KALLUK: When we just got here,
it was different.
566
00:38:50,745 --> 00:38:52,497
Colder.
567
00:38:52,538 --> 00:38:55,458
You had to wear big jackets
all the time.
568
00:38:56,293 --> 00:38:58,336
Right now, it's changed.
569
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:00,964
Flowers are growing.
570
00:39:02,132 --> 00:39:04,467
There's even green grass now.
571
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:07,846
There was nothing, nothing!
No moss, nothing
572
00:39:07,887 --> 00:39:11,016
when we just got here.
Just all gravel.
573
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:14,352
Today, there's lots of things
growing and
574
00:39:15,061 --> 00:39:17,522
all kinds of bugs,
575
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:21,818
even bees and all that
that never used to
be here, nothing.
576
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,285
But we can't change that
so we just live in it.
577
00:39:30,327 --> 00:39:34,413
It didn't change us.
We still accept whatever
578
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:36,374
comes.
579
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:38,877
(LAUGHS)
580
00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:44,174
PINSET: Another irony is that
the exiles today promote
581
00:39:44,216 --> 00:39:46,467
Canadian sovereignty
more strongly
582
00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:48,511
than does the government.
583
00:39:48,553 --> 00:39:51,056
AMARAULIK: They used Inuit
as human flagpoles
584
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:53,016
or whatever they call it,
585
00:39:53,058 --> 00:39:56,936
but they're still
fighting over this high Arctic
586
00:39:56,978 --> 00:39:59,772
like we were moved
here for nothing.
587
00:39:59,814 --> 00:40:03,401
We're here, we're Canadians.
This is our land right here.

This doesn't belong to
nobody else but Canada.
589
00:40:12,202 --> 00:40:15,621
I'm proud to be a Canadian,
even after all this.
590
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:21,294
PINSET:
The greatest irony is that
Canada's government today
591
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:25,464
encourages foreign ships
in the Northwest Passage
592
00:40:25,506 --> 00:40:28,718
and hopes global warming
will open a trade route.
593
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,096
Its biggest opponents
are the exiles,
594
00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:33,932
who hunt on the sea ice.
595
00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:37,227
They want to put
this Northwest Passage as
596
00:40:37,269 --> 00:40:39,645
as an international
strait, but
597
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:41,439
we're trying
to put a stop to that,
598
00:40:45,235 --> 00:40:47,112
because they're gonna have
ice breakers breaking up
599
00:40:47,153 --> 00:40:49,030
all of the ice all the time
600
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:51,241
and we'll have
trouble traveling down
601
00:40:51,283 --> 00:40:52,658
to the next island.
602
00:40:55,245 --> 00:40:57,372
Every year, there's more
and more ships.

PINSET:
That traffic will only grow.

retreat to a warm cabin
606
00:41:08,007 --> 00:41:10,385
is tourism
at its most sublime.
607
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:18,310
MAN: Our bartender, Gus,
told me we'd run out of ice.
608
00:41:19,811 --> 00:41:22,439
The freshest ice for miles
around is often to oldest.
609
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,899
This is millions
of years old, this stuff
610
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:28,361
that fell as rain as mammoths
walked the Earth
611
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:29,487
and we're going
to do it justice
612
00:41:29,528 --> 00:41:31,323
by having it in
our gin and tonics.
613
00:41:37,536 --> 00:41:39,456
TEGNER: All these amenities.
614
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:41,040
The comfort
615
00:41:41,082 --> 00:41:44,210
and the warmth and the food.
616
00:41:45,628 --> 00:41:48,214
It was like heaven
compared to the Dax.
617
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:55,638

I felt totally relaxed.

Or I thought
it was very simple.
621
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:11,863
Franklin's sailors
were not superstitious

though some started
to get quite suspicious.
623

After months,
they were famished

then the first mate
just vanished.
