Many people who live in those remote villages practice at least some degree of self subsistence. You realize they were doing this long before iPhones were a thing, right? This is a way of life for many people in remote Alaskan villages. Do you think they were carrying around iPhones when they went out whale hunting with spears? Just because you don't understand another culture doesn't mean you should disparage their way of life. You basically just called everyone who lives further north than Fairbanks, Alaska stupid.
