Branston, Brian, (film producer.). McKennirey, Michael, (film producer.). Pearson, George, (film producer.). Robinson, Richard, (film producer.). British Broadcasting Corporation (London), (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: The first of two coproductions by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the National Film Board of Canada, People of the Seal, Part 1: Eskimo Summer is compiled from some of the most vivid footage ever filmed of the life of the Netsilik Inuit in the Kugaaruk region of the Canadian Arctic. The original films of the Netsilik series attempted to recreate the traditional lifestyle of Netsilingmiut living in the area around Kugaaruk. They show the incredible resourcefulness of the Netsilik (People of the Seal) who have adapted to one of the world's harshest environments. Part 1: Eskimo Summer shows how Inuit families prepare for winter by hunting seal, birds and caribou and by fishing for Arctic Char during the extended hours of daylight.
