movie in the Terrace Tillieum
Theatre tonight. ,

Gordon Eastman's 90-minute
color, 16mm movie, “North of
the Sun”, is more than just
another Arctic wildlife ‘and
hunting film. In the excellent
life-like color, Hastman, weaves
a spell-binding behind-the-
scenes documentary on. the
master hunters of the Arctic,
the Eskimo people themselves.
While there are approximately
50,000 2skimos in the world, this
film relates to a portion of the
16,000 Eskimos who live along
the coasts of Alaska and on the
nearby istands. Despite the
many hardships that they
encounter, their friendly
attitude is ever present. As
never before, this film shows
you the way of life of the real

' children of nature, living up to

the definition of their name-
Eskimo means “eaters of raw
meat”. This name was given to
them by northern Indians.
Eskimos are known for their
good humor, and their warm
hospi.ality to strangers, and all
throughout the film this fact’ is
apparent to Eastman and the
movie viewers.

Eastman’s fine camera work
takes ‘North of the Sun” movie
viewers into the homes of the
Point Hope, Alaska Eskimos,
where he shows the making of a
pair of muk-luks by an Eskimo
woman. Made of tough
sealskin soles and caribou for
uppers, the Eskimo muk-luks
are warmer footwear than even
today’s scientist can design.

MUK-LUKS
Outfitted in his new muk-luks,
Eastman mushes in. an

Eskimo's dog team sledge out
onto the ice floes, accompanied
by an Eskimo hunter, whose
marksmanship with a rifle is
demonstrated with
sharpshooting kills on a 1,000

. pound Ugaruk and a smaller

seal.

Instant death shots are vital
for the Eskimo hunter. A
wounded seal wouid slip under
the ice and be lost. The winter
‘survival of the entire Eskimo
village depends upon . the
marksmanship of its hunters.

Eastman then phetographs
the’ skillful way. in which the
seal is skinned out by Eskimo
women, Deftly using ancient

- skinning tools, the women waste

‘not an ounce of flesh nor do they

One of the finest sequences of
the majestic polar bear ever
filmed is included in Eastman’s
North of the Sun."’

A huge bear is spotted: from
the alr, and after the bear's

‘course is plotted, the pilot puts

down the light aircraft a- few
miles ahead. As the glant bear
approaches, Eastman stalks the
handsome trophy animal to
within 25 yards. °

BELUGA

“North of the Sun” concludes
with a sequence on the
preparation and the hunt for a
120,000 pound bowhead whale.

Eastman shows the skillful
making of a sealskin canoe used
by a band of brave hunters in
the hunt, A small explosive-
charged harpoon is prepared
with equal care, and the hunt is
immediately preceded by a
dance, attended by the entire
community, of course.

The intrepid hunters bivouac
for three tiresome weeks on the’

icy wind-swept edge of the sea.

and the ice floe as they waited
for the whale to show itself. A

‘huge sky-blackening flock of |

eider ducks fly overhead, and
one of the hunters deftly brings
one down for supper with only a
stone-and-thong bolo as his
weapon.

Finally the whale is spotted
and the whalers paddle off to
face their fearsome quarry in
only atiny sealskin canoe. Seon
they return with the 60-ton
whale, the head of which alone
is as large as a house. It was
one of the largest whales ever
caught at Point Hope, which is
the oldest existing community
in North America.
