"I love going to different places and seeing the particular strain of how people have figured out how to live with that land. The land dictates how cultures develop and then their subsequent stories. In a way, a lot of these stories that I work on are relevant, contemporary looks at cultures and places that are really timeless.”- Kiliii Yüyan

In the Arctic, Sea Ice is synonymous with the sand in the desert. The ice is vital for transportation, for food, for living. And while the temperatures seem inhumane, the Arctic is teeming with life. Indigenous tribes call this frosty land home, but they’re not alone. Polar bears, musk ox, whales, and caribou are some of the arctic animals co-existing with more than 40 different ethnic groups in the north. Through beautiful images and awe-inspiring moments, National Geographic Live takes you on a journey with our first Indigenous speaker Kiliii Yüyan to understand the native people and their relationship to a frigid land and its animals.
