9:30 am
[000:00:00;00] the is it possible to get lost in time? well, come to come chuck a and see for yourself. here's several unique ethnic groups are remaining in their own bubble of sorts. surrounded by these beautiful landscapes. we come to see how the natives of rushes, far, far east to lives and preserves the entrance additions and culture. and if we've come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey here
9:31 am
or here. so one thing that i've come to learn here in come shatka is it really is a true melting pot. many different cultures coming together, but the edelman were believed to be the 1st people to come to come check out. you yourself, are you the woman? where do you come from? usually it's not screwed up this way. we don't know from where the a tillman came to come shatka. there are several theories, but none have been proven. one hypothesis says it's woman sales here from hawaii. another claims we tracked from mongolia. some say we originate in america. however, the implement call themselves the people living here long. yeah, that's what they told me in literally means
9:32 am
a local archeologist proved that the it's woman has been living here for over 8000 years. they were here before the carfax, the chief chief, the events and the alleys. to do this before and sisters had spread across these parts before their arrival. they works, the land they fish ton to the sea, mammals gather, did woodwork and grass for etc. and we, their defendants continue those tradition. so the german scientist george stellar, he was also a traveler. he has a theory that and you've already touched on this a little bit. the edelman and the north american natives are the same people. and you've been to canada, you've been to north america in the states. what's your thoughts? what's in tough. we're often told that we look like the play and get the turkey, etc. okay? nobody at the but i see differences and they see them to our language is,
9:33 am
are different. and so our, our cultures, dance, for example, our traditional activities are not the same either. sure. there's a similarity when you visit one of their villages. you look like you could easily blend in, but the clothes are different, traditions and culture well, 3 times. so i think we're different from them in that were indigenous to come chattanooga. they have their own tribes in a sniff, cities with their own rich cultures and traditions. you mentioned earlier that you don't mentor believe to come here to contract to 8000 years ago in that 8000 years . are there still traditions from them that you still have in your daily life, in your daily routine? the yes we do have these traditions. we still celebrate the implemented ritual festival of all light. like our ancestors we chase evil spirits away. all our women get together make awful faces and scream their heads off until evil spirits the car
9:34 am
to leave our homes and our families. we still dance till we draw because we still love to have fun seeing her deal us and dance like our ancestors did. boredom was a major send for them, having fun, enjoying life, feeling happy is one of the most important pursuits for the tillman to be a great to me and you and we still respect this tradition of ours due to most of those we. so we've grasp baskets using c, we'd towards the end of august, we go to the pacific shore to gather, see we will use it to cover our typical it's omen dwellings, pitt houses, and buy la guns with them while ago. but and then there's fish, of course, where the fish is our livelihood. we stole fish, dry fish ro we'd dry. you cooler, a fish meat that comes from salt guys, simon, chum, salmon and co host salmon. we make a lot of preserves for ourselves and for our dogs,
9:35 am
we pick berries for us. if you don't go foraging then it's like you haven't lived that year. as soon as berries come out, you feel this urge within you. you want to go and pick them, and i'm not talking about picking raspberries and strawberries in the garden. i'm talking about cranberries blue, honeysuckle, and crowd berries. in a sense we modern it's women still follow the traditional life style of our forefathers. we talk to the earth spirits negotiate with them, and thank them during specific parts of the year. exactly when our ancestors did the same. one of the traditions that you have in the abilities that you have, i would say, is being able to cook using wooden pots without an open fire. for me, that distrust seems impossible. how do you do that? there's our ancestors didn't use iron. this is a steel knife, but in the past tools would be made of obsidian or stone. these days we cooked like
9:36 am
everyone else and it's the women who do it. in the ancient times, however, men were in charge of the cooking. they would heat stones in a fire and put them inside, wouldn't pots with water and pieces of fish by replacing cold stones with hot ones from the fire. they would simmer the fish to it's really delicious. our traditional, ancient way of cooking is much better and preserving all the whole some properties of fish, and was wondering what of what they didn't use salt, i'd suggest you give it a try. it's a physically challenging process. so how does off to them when you get hot standing next to a fire, they would strip to the waist and sometimes even remove their pants. it's on the cooking would be done inside a pit house. they had special wood and tools to help them pull stones from the fire, dropped them inside the pots, and put them back. i want to ask about the raven. i know that it's very important
9:37 am
to eat them in culture. but it's also important in ireland, the irish goddess of war. what are done? it is also surrounded by raven. she appears as a raven, the scandinavian god odin. also, is it surrounded by ravens? why do you think that this icon of the raven is so important to the people in and across many different indigenous cultures or not? so you could have the corey x and the to, to also believe that could kenya, quote, the raven created, come, child, good. and gave birth to the corey act and that you 2 people in the tillman believe that the could the raven, together with his wife eat home, created the land of come chattanooga becomes human. we see this differently from the cory x and the choke. she for whom this land was a rock lifted from the depths of the ocean. for us, this land as a living thing was once upon a time, the codes and a home that were flying over these parts. and all they could see was an expanse of
9:38 am
water. they landed and the raven was able to stand, but his wife sang to her chest, and there she gave birth to their son seems to come in, which means are then looking for n quotes, the raven made him become land, which means we walk upon the land of quotes and the homes 1st sun seems cutting good when we call to the spirit of the earth, it seems cut in we talk to work, we say seems good in thank you. please help us later they had more our children end at some point. the tillman came into existence. is it a coincidence that many? consider the raven to be there for father, a wise bird, or some kind of an important character in our story. i don't know. what i know is that the raven holds a lot of symbolism for russians as well. it's symbolizes wisdom, a sort of intellectual force that sees every thing for some. it's a hard question to answer, but i like the fact that we share some characters be that metaphorical
9:39 am
representations are actual spirits. we believe in the unify us. it means humanity used to be one. it just means tribes split apart at some point and went their separate ways. the raven, however, remains sadly and which still binds us together. this the news, i'm sure that at some level our cultures have something in common in your push, the way we see ourselves and perceive our connection to nature. the road is my understanding and we've talked about this a little bit already in this conversation. the dance is very important to them and culture. but in the past dance was a asking for a good hunch or may be asking for good health. does dance today have the same type of meaning for you, or is it more just a tradition? yep. no, our dances are also rituals. you enter a sort of trends during the it's,
9:40 am
i'm in festival of how i lie. we hold the russian traditional dance championship for the indigenous people of cum shatka, where we dance for 17 hours, non stop there, we share energy, communicate with our tribes, the earth, and the spirit, the, the, the mix, an unforgettable experience. each indigenous dance is a story, a way to get in touch with higher powers, and the energy that surrounds us. air, water, earth, fire, and the spirits of animals which we sometimes also invoke in our dens you through
9:41 am
many years ago the gentleman used to dance, so they literally dropped from exhaustion. was human over generations. and generations of different ethnic groups within kentucky has mixed. is it safe to say that the cultures and traditions of the different groups have mixed to become a unique come track, a culture can years not going to use it? certainly the traditions and cultures are mixed. and traditionally, korea commend and women never dens close to each other. they dance their separate dances each and their own bible. the it's all men are very different. the always i see a man he should care the issue because she's
9:42 am
a woman means and we go the the, the story to the doctor, this dance practice now the to condense together and have fun. there's a cross pollination of cultures. on the one hand, it's beautiful on the other, it's becoming more difficult to make distinction is and figure out what austin took it to him in culture is a and of so there are no more peer at. tillman, tillman. families are all mixed with other ethnic groups.
9:43 am
the 1st of all, i want to thank you for bringing us in here to have this look into your life, into your culture. it's fascinating. thank you. i guess i want to ask 1st uh, what does it mean to be claudia? where do the critic people come from? and what does it mean to you? not to do it, there is a distinction to go. there are coastal connex, the num one and 200 corrects the just to them who heard reindeer, and let's say that they're known as rich folks because they have huge herds and reindeer are highly prized by c. r grandmas who raised and taught us in the village would always say that the correct main treasure were a large family, a really large one under heard of deer sky. that's why people took good care of their families and know reindeer reindeer, maybe even took priority. as they were essential to life and how by side all our clothes,
9:44 am
everything we have everything our ancestors had. it all revolved around reindeer. when they made clothes or a reindeer meat, they used to say that the animals lived on with them. we where it's skin live, the life goes on. you can see that we're surrounded by randy or heights. and i can see that they're working specifically on making these beautiful clothes that you're known for. but it seems to me that it would be incredibly difficult to make all of these clothes and by hand. do you have specific tools that you use to to make your clothes? yeah. for doing so. yes, we do. uh well for the for civilization came to us, so to speak. there were these old tools are, these are the tips, the connection? yeah. they were created naturally. i go up there, very old. that's a kind of with this rock is used to carry leather and what if the sun with this is
9:45 am
the best traditional tool to get phone instead of moving the video because quarter . so here's a more modern version from the time when we began using iron it throughout the course on boston, which is sharper than stone. most i've seen that when my grandma had me tana hyde was the iron tool, and she didn't give me a high quality piece because she knew i would rip it from you. so she gave me anything that wasn't valuable for renewals. can you show that we just do what we use to use this board for tanning? we place it like this style and put the deer skin on top of it. of the image and i am not going to press hard now because this piece has already been attend school or otherwise i would be going like this. i thought to put your arms get really tired of these,
9:46 am
but that's how you build muscles and become very strong in the safety of the line. so if we remove the top layer, we grease the hide with deer mux several times 3 or 4. so it becomes soft when it's soft like this, we can further process it using our hands. okay. how much time does it take for you to make a specific piece of closing? let's say a coffee uncle for a, for code, for example. regarding how long it takes isn't much depends on what the craft artist plan is, how detailed and beautiful she wants this piece of clothing to be. there is also burial clothing. it is our custom to have that ready when people are still alive today, it would be very unusual. but our people had this tradition thing and then, you know, we made our own burial clothes. it would take 3 or 4 similar pieces to make a complete set for women,
9:47 am
my size touch and feel how soft it is is very cool. now i understand that you decorate so beautifully your closing with bands and symbols. uh, are they just decorative or do they have meaning? just yes, that i'm getting the run because all i'll show you a piece so you can compare these ornaments are called sun. today we call them gel google and cut ax meaning moons. you correct? still use the lunar calendar for seasons based on the lunar faces. the correct people know how to get their bearings using the moon and stars will not our ancestors were really good at finding their way like this for so kind of that a visa or nimble, put, you know, beads were brought here and exchange for local products. we didn't have beats before that did some local craft. women took a liking to them once new because they added beauty to the traditional needlework patterns and brought out there also intensity. we knew i'm talking about the
9:48 am
traditional moves. our ancestors used to embroider on their clothes without beads. they may beads of their own from natural materials, like fish bones, shells into your hair. just one book here, i'll show you it did, of course, since this is an authentic codec son pattern or a movie, as we call it. so can you tell me a little bit more about what the symbols and bends me and specifically i am in the cracks, display their live file in these decorations. does anyone know some of the most important thing for them was the deer versus the waterlines. so most often to pick deer adler's, or mountains volcanoes or tree branches as the coastal corrects. also called lawns lived along the coast. so they had these wave patterns as for the colors they used, there weren't as many color options as today. and they mostly used red, black and white, and they're ornaments. elizabeth,
9:49 am
what the lowest becomes that my grandma used to say when we decorated my for jacket on the good news that you need to take inspiration from the ground. black or brown represents earth. yeah, green is for grass. we didn't have green or light blue, for example. the choice of colors was limited to the basic one, black, red, and white. white is the color of sanctity purity. red is the color of defense. it gives you protection. that's it. and back in those days are crossed, swimming also made carpet switch, told their family stories, see if there was no writing system. so ornaments told stories you could tell from those pictures the families occupational to even tragic incidents were depicted whole from when someone died or was killed away from home. family history was pass down an ornament of the problem. there's a legend about
9:50 am
a new man who room does the earth with his reindeer. when the animal google's and weary, it turned to his master and said to me, to drink my blood and we will become one. my soul will come back to earth and giving birth to a new race of reindeer people. we are now headed across the tundra of contract to meet the descendants of those very people, the peasants, the so you're out here with no signs in the middle of nowhere, no communication. how do you know where to go this month? we have a special route so we can't go beyond certain limits because that's outside. i'll post you. so we pay for the right to keep our animals in certain areas and for hunting land. the climate fact as to it's very hard to think if there's a lot of snow, the accounts get to the most. so we need to move to another place with less snow up to 50 centimeters. and how many ranger do you have in your heard here? and so, is it difficult to control them with this 2000,
9:51 am
including the cough so that the number of fluctuates as some do you have become sick or full pray to other animals including 2 legged ones, most people up right as to who, right. so we're going from the, it's not easy to control the reindeer. it depends on the past you'll end. or if you stay in the same place all the time, you'll destroy all the mos. it takes up to 25 years for new most to grow. you need at least 15 years for some of to appear. so we can't stay in the same spot. we need to keep the rain dea moving. you're just looking for areas where there isn't a lot of snow or ice when you're out here in the nature, when you're with the ranger, what do you feel? what isn't it for you to fulfill the journey? besides, i feel free out here at the north folded by. was there anything else that civilization doesn't get in the way? because there's no radio though, so i can't listen to the news that goes so find things out later. but just to just put an end to ask for anything else. sorry about
9:52 am
the dog footing as a very special place in the life of the indigenous people in come chunk of what seems like entertainment for some was once a crucial method of survival in extreme whether this american family is now reviving. these ancient traditions the now that is impressive on very all right. so let's get right to and i've heard the rumors that your children before, they can even walk are already in a sled. what is flooding to with these dogs? is it a sports? is its a way of life, is it an ancient tradition? talk to me about that? no,
9:53 am
go through what they say the most. my wife participates in dunc said races even when she's pregnant and was to be in the bathroom waste is like, let's go with our kids are in the sled, went according to i still do. i'm sending for us is on live life in the forest with dogs. close to nature because even with the time we pause cultural tradition and emotion this down to our children. that very perceptive read that will cause they grow up surrounded by this strong healthy and learning from us, speeding up. and we think that they do dug, setting on their own by, and i can tell your whole family is involved. so what exactly is a musher and what you have to have in your skill set to become one that you're the marshal, tell you, is dedicated to his dogs and he lives with them. is a little the mush that drives the dog, said to me, or if i thought i would call in the boss lead a couple. everything depends on the marcia the entire life of his team. look inside . now, do you become a musher?
9:54 am
people usually start with one dog and then the team start scrubbing with the 2nd side. now you do anything special to train your dogs to run or is this just in their genes yesterday when they have prepping for a race, isn't like any athletes. and we dropped a plan and tried to stick to it, which i believe these particular dogs have it in the blood. so if we don't need to make extra efforts to prevent the dog fits letting you just put it into the harness, it will get up to this land. and off it goes. i noticed an interesting phenomenon when they were getting ready to be hooked up the entire group of them all started housing at once. what does this mean? is this a signal? is this a rally private? they're getting ready to go running or they, it's a very interesting question issue and you pulled, i don't remember anyone giving you a comprehensive answer to it? no. i think by housing, they express the unit. see, an eking this to run is a line you do take will show example, once it will starts housing, the whole pan copies install it down and see. but the same is happening here with
9:55 am
the dogs in place. the manifestation of team square is how this might seem like the most basic of questions, but how many dogs are there to a slab? is there a limit, or is there a set number that have to be there must be used between 6 and 16 dogs for one said, depending on what's required from a good take killer run. well, if it's a long distance, isn't 1500 to 2000 to columbus is? yes, we would use as many dogs as we can up to 16 by so i give it to show run out 68, or 10 dogs of plenty. mm hm. now you know that different dogs have different roles on the sled, which implies the fact that they might have different psychological traits as well . how do you choose which specific dogs go where on a slide too much, that's what we see right from the start. and when the dogs are still puppies right here that camped in the kennel, and as they grow older, we start walking them. we take the mother on the lease and go to the forest for
9:56 am
a walk using it. and then we can wash the pumps and see that kind of i just right away. i need some opposite rank. they have a not afraid to run ahead. we. we mark them as potentially dogs who will stay of the team. yeah, that's what i mean. other bob, so last thing to have an always stay behind the brain of a one. see. so they will go in the middle of the dog team on campus there. and some always stay close to, you know, going round your legs, but they will run away. but you have to, they are afraid to follow the rest of the team. the best source of these dogs, you'll be harnessed in the rear of the team directly in front of the sledge, the wheel dogs existing. that's how dog rows of determines. let an initial stage before the day. so when you still in training, the dogs of the abilities will manifest themselves best. uh, is there ever a case where there's a dog that just isn't suited for running and what happens to that dog that happens was sometimes
9:57 am
a dog he's afraid to run in the hall and this with the team. it starts to slow down or going to even lie down. you can't use dogs like this. again, they're usually very good companion, so walks in the forest because they never run away. we have many such dogs here, but they remain part of the family and stay here with the rest of the team. the, the, we've traveled the breadth of the contract the peninsula taking in its mesmerizing landscapes and people the they live in some of the harshest conditions known to man for wind and snow, the even making their homes i'm, it's fire breathing volcanoes. here there is total harmony between nature and people preserving the unique culture and identity.
9:58 am
the, and is addressed to a joint session of congress is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu spent a good portion of the speech attacking americans who have been protesting israel's genocidal campaign in gaza. the majority of law makers in the chamber responded with a standing ovation. so look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're so short or is it conflict with the 1st law? show you alignment as a patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. at the point, obviously is to create a truck rather than to the area. i mean with artificial intelligence,
9:59 am
we have somebody in the team and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the job rally or my little story, the model girl to i got you. no problem. seem to them out of the know nothing 30 basically i side of the drive i showed to my brother through he was sudden to hoping for a lo so now i never look at searches as being saved. well, i guess i lost my live. that's the outcome of chicago. police. it'd be gang chicago is like, you'd be a photo that police. you really think your life the as another crime? say this could have been
10:00 am
a doctor. a nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here the the street, the parents are riddled with and got thousands, thousands of protesters, dumont that is really asp beep beep called me off for coming unlimited games. so i think the own government wants to punk off the top. you see, we were working for months to make sure that everything was going to up and property. and to date, it's all to accept. plus the games hosted by power to tear off to a stops as damaged to prompt. vince as rob john suspected bomb threats cost us from shot to over the wild premier sporting events. and it doesn't take long for the
