Content description from WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/inughuit-the-people-at-the-navel-of-the-earth/oclc/317358592) :
Greenland's spectacular Arctic landscape provides the backdrop for this portrait of the island's Inuit people. The camera follows a tightly-knit Eskimo community through the seasons as members hunt for the seals and narwhales which provide essential food and clothing, celebrate a wedding and enjoy the perpetual sunlight of summer. The Inuit discuss their uneasy relationship with Denmark who governs their land, the displacement caused by the installation of an American military base, and threats to their traditional way of life, particularly the generational conflict caused when the young are sent south to Denmark for their education.
