Hey everyone. Eben here. I feel like crying, reading all these positive comments is what I needed. This was all a crazy experience, that day I almost didn’t want to go out to that whale, i was worn out after going to most of the whales this fall season, but I did and now I am so glad I went out that day. BIG Thanks to Yes Theory guys to trust me in showing people my Iñupiaq culture and Iñupiaq way of life. Big props to Staffan for braving the arctic ocean! Something we all try to avoid while hunting.
Some people think we are horrific people and I hope this video can show you another side. Thank you to everyone!❤

29 years ago in North Carolina my boyfriend and came across a dead Basking shark floating near the beach. Got the okay to pull it on shore even with 2 4X4 Trucks once the shark was on the beach it was not moving again. It was 20ft they did check.
shouts out to eban, such a kind human. thank you for sharing so much and i send my condolences, love from southern california❤
WHEN SOMEONE SAY ALASKA MY MIND REMIND OF CHRISTOPHER MCCANDLESS WONDERFUL YES THEORY ❤️🤝
Just killing whales these days eh?
吃素食(在亞洲可以素食物)不需殺害生物
Absolutely loved it!!!! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Just breaks my heart what the white people did. I might be white, but im not them!!!
Bless this community..that they keep up with their traditions, as they deserve to.
Alaska is too commercial now
Rewatching this and thinking have you thought about a trip to an oil rig in the middle of the sea and staying out on that for a few days. If anyone could make that video the Yes Theory team could (Staffen no swimming in the sea this time though please…)
whale fishing so sad
Love the videos but why is Steffan so touchy with people 😂
$1,000 jackets you are both wearing, really? Seems like some total BS about what you preach
oops…The capitol isn't Anchorage (2:09). Although Anchorage is the largest city, the capitol is Juneau.
32:23 well of course it doesnt taste like fish, it's not fish. Whales are mammals. So their meat will taste of, well- meat.
only 3 mins in but is it crazy that I recognize this town and airport from Jet Lag the game?!
Eben kinda sounds like Obama lol
I think US GOVT. should subsidise Beef and all essential commodities to Alaska.They really need it. Someone should open vertical salad farm too to give them some greens for their diet.
This has been my favorite episode so far, thank you for going to this place and sharing.
What a beautiful feel good ending.
32:37 thank you for realizing the honor and sharing in the presence of the captain & elders and Eban ❤
Who thinks amar no longer fits the team?
i wood be so stoke if i can join you lot on 1 trip looks like lots of fun
Whale is a mammal so it would taste something like a land animal
Just recently found this channel and so glad i did. This will probably be the only way i will ever get to travel is seeing it through others eyes. The people you all meet seem so noce and genuine, such an awesome experience for everyone involved, i am sure. Thank you for letting me see the world via your videos!
It is such a beautiful place!
Yes theory never disappoints. Much love from India! Keep going!
Yes Theory, thank you so much. Through your videos we travel, we learn, we open our eyes. Please, dont stop doing this. The world needs your positivity, joy and that great storytelling ability. Love you guys.
That old man was awesome.
2:09 the capital is Juneau, not Anchorage
I'm in awwww.. Thankyou guys
I want some muktuk 😭😭
I never would have expected it to taste like steak fat either! But, I guess that's kinda like some shark as well, tastes and feels like steak. Great video!
If anyone is interested in learning more about arctic indigenous culture and the hunting aspect, the Yes Theory channel has a wonderful episode they’ve recently uploaded where they visited the most isolated town in America. They highlight everything very respectfully and it really allows you a whole new perspective.
You meet the nicest people. ❤
16:09 Darwin Núñez?!?! 🇺🇾
WHY YOU GUYS DONT GO TO GAZA?
''Together as One'' Great pleasure to meet Eben and his culture. Thank you for Yes Theory guys. You are really helping people's connecting in different culture so we can able to aware of our siblings lives. This is what I like in this channel. Serendipity.
MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN PHILIPPINES "TONDO" PLEASE!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Great channel. Amazingly sad how our country has mistreated native communities.
Loved this episode! ❤❤❤
Thanks!
This video made me subscribe ❤
Thank you Yes Theory Team and all involved people of this video. We need more content and creators like that. If you ever need a contact here in Germany, let me know, I would be honored to help you guys out. Love from Germany!
I think that of all the videos I've seen, this was the one that touched my heart the most
To be honest, we have a friendly feeling about some animals like elephants, whales and dolphins. That's why we feel sad about it. Otherwise, it should be alright. I am really supportive to eat meat. However, feel sad about a whale being hunted. If it was a Great white shark, probably I would go and help to the pull. Yes. It's all about perspective.
