Editing Nanook of the North (section)

===Visit to the trading post===
In one scene, Nanook and his family arrive in a kayak at the trading post. Going to trade his hunt from the year, including the skins of foxes, seals, and polar bears, Nanook comes in contact with white people and there is an amusing interaction as the two cultures meet. The trader plays music on a [[Phonograph|gramophone]] and tries to explain how a man 'cans' his voice. Bending forward and staring at the machine, Nanook puts his ear closer as the trader cranks the mechanism again. The trader removes the record and hands it to Nanook who at first peers at it and then puts it in his mouth and bites it. The scene is meant to be a comical one as the audience laughs at the naivete of Nanook and people isolated from Western culture. In truth, the scene was entirely scripted and Allakariallak knew what a gramophone was.<ref name=Rothman>{{cite book|last=Rothman|first=William|author-link=William Rothman|title=Documentary Film Classics|url=https://archive.org/details/documentaryfilmc00will|url-access=registration|year=1997|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|pages=[https://archive.org/details/documentaryfilmc00will/page/9 9–11]}}</ref>
