    Disclaimer

    Please note that this is an archival film that occasionally makes use of outdated and offensive terms. Such offensive terminology is no longer used at the NFB. This film is therefore a time capsule from a bygone era, presented in its original version, in the hope that it will help raise awareness, educate and generate discussion.

    Lumaaq: An Eskimo Legend

    Lumaaq tells the story of a legend widely believed by the Povungnituk Inuit. The artist's drawings are transferred to paper, cut out, and animated under the camera. The result is Inuit prints in action. Dialogue, music and artwork make this film a total cultural transplant.
