Robert Flaherty is a geologist. I came to the Eskimo activity area on the east coast of Hudson Bay in Canada for work needs and lived for 11 years.
. Beginning in 1910, he was ordered to explore mines in Hudson Bay, Alaska, and brought a camera with him. He shot some scenes of the production and life of Eskimos on the Arctic coast, but the film was destroyed by a fire. In 1920, he returned to the Eskimo village again under the patronage of the French leather goods dealers Levyon brothers and filmed the film again.
