Interested in Inuit culture? Check out these films...
The Fast Runner is an excellent representation of ancient Inuit culture. The R-rating is for nudity, violence, and some language. Subtitles are utilized throughout. I do not recommend this film for children, but it's an extremely accurate portrayal of the culture. It was introduced to me by an Inupiat woman who raved about it. And I agree!

The Snow Walker is another excellent representation of Inuit culture circa 1940's. This film is rated PG, I'm guessing for language. No subtitles that I remember. It starts a little slow, but gets much better. It will leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the survival skills of this culture.

Whale Snow by Debby Dahl Edwardson is a warm and culturally sensitive story centered on the Inupiat subsistence tradition of whaling. It is available in both English and Inupiaq translation. The illustrations, by Annie Patterson are exquisite and add to the quiet softness that the story inspires.

The Alaska Geographic series is an excellent informational resource. The edition entitled North Slope Now deals exclusively with this area and even features relatives of my students. Although it was published in 1989, it is still current enough to provide a general understanding of culture, lifestyle, and issues faced by this northern-most region.

That's too funny! I'm not sure I'd know what to do with a goose full of guts LOL
Never look a gift goose in the guts. Happy Tday!
Ummm, yummy greasy dark meated goose. How lucky you are. I would happily scrape out the guts and pluck it all to have a fresh goose.
Happy Arctic Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Many blessings for you, my friend.

That was exactly MY predicament! When it comes to preparing game I tend to be slightly gutless. :)

I totally agree. I was quite honored to have this elder offer me a goose...just wasn't sure what to do with it! Happy TDay to you as well!

It sounds like you have had experience with this kind of thing. I've watched the pros around here pluck the feathers, but so far have no knowledge of what to do with the insides. If I rely on what I KNOW, the guts are tucked inside the bird in a neat little plastic bag! LOL! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
