Aboriginal Ways of Seeing the World

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses Aboriginal ways of seeing the world. The paper uses two sources to illustrate its points - the film "Annajant: The Fast Runner" and "The Other Side of Eden" by Hugh Brody. The paper shows the way in which both sources show that there was Inuit society that was essentially based on a very strong relationship with nature.

From the Paper:

"Aboriginal Ways of Seeing the World The film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner is based on an ancient Inuit legend. Although the film is largely fictional it can provide a glimpse into traditional Inuit lives. Through the film we learn a great deal about family, cooperation, reliance on land and spiritual forces in Inuit societies. Although films from an Aboriginal perspective are a relatively recent occurrence, there has been a great deal of anthropological work done on Aboriginal people and hunter-gather societies. For example, The Other Side of Eden by Hugh Brody is an examination of both hunter gatherer and agricultural societies from an anthropological perspective."
