Summary:

Nanook of the North: Presents a documentary on the life of an Eskimo family pitting their strength against a vast and inhospitable Arctic. Juxtaposes their struggle for survival against the elements with the warmth of the little family as they go about their daily affairs. Contains both documentary footage and staged scenes.

Nanook revisited: When Robert Flaherty produced Nanook of the North, some of the film's content was staged and not a true picture of the Eskimos. In this documentary, a modern-day film crew revisits Inukjuak in northern Quebec, the site of Flaherty's filming, and the facts are separated from the fiction.

Houses of the Arctic: Called Dwellings of the Far North on the container, this short film, an extract from the actuality film "Houses of the Arctic and the Tropics" included in the Peoples and Cultures of the World: Pathé Science Series, is the igloo-building sequence from Nanook of the North, re-edited and titled as an educational film.

The wedding of Palo: Nanook's obvious successor, this film is the last beautiful work of the famed Danish polar explorer and anthropologist Dr. Knud Rasmussen. Traditional eskimo culture is embodied in this early ethnographic film of life in Greenland focusing around the contest between two rivals for the love of an Inuit woman.

Arctic hunt: Frank E. Kleinschmidt led an expedition to Alaska in 1913 to gather specimens for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, and made this filmed notebook at a time few people had seen images of the far North, documenting scenes of Eskimo life include their trading and bartering practices.

Primitive love: Two excerpts from the documentary feature ("Winter in the Arctic" and "Polar bear and seal") which focuses on an Eskimo family and their daily struggle for existence in the Arctic wastes.

Eskimo hunters (northwestern Alaska): Part of The Earth and its Peoples series of thirty-six educational films, this documentary, called Eskimo Hunters of Northwest Alaska on the container, is a first person narrative in which an Alaskan boy of Point Hope describes his family's existence and the lives of Inuit on the coast of Alaska.

Face of the high Arctic: This short documentary studies the geological evolution that has gone on for millions of years in the High Arctic, following the evidence of glaciers that have advanced and receded, and tracing life forms that have changed with the climate.

Houses of the Arctic: Called Dwellings of the Far North on the container, this short film, an extract from the actuality film "Houses of the Arctic and the Tropics" included in the Peoples and Cultures of the World: Pathé Science Series, is the igloo-building sequence from Nanook of the North, re-edited and titled as an educational film.
