It's interesting to consider what may be the real reason why the Alaskan natives would return to Portlock. It's doubtful that they are coming back to establish a community, but more likely they are happy to be making money as paid actors in a show. I've heard it said that the show must be real, as they are all using their real names... or so we are led to believe. Just because the names are real, doesn't necessarily mean the show is "real". Now I wouldn't say this show is quite as cheesy as Mountain Monsters, but it does have its entertainment value.
Perhaps the reason Naantinaq won't show itself is the bad acting, terrible narration, and the horrible (and unnecessary) dramatic background music. And like most shows of this type, the so-called "professionals" get into the woods and suddenly act like rank amateurs. They make a concerted effort to make as much noise as possible (like rustling branches and loud talking). Then they start waving lit flashlights all around, and even when they say they see something, apparently the camera person doesn't think to turn his/her camera around to try to see the event until it's too late, if they try at all. Perhaps the camera people are well trained to not disclose the fakery on film.
It would be nice to see a real documentary on Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Naantinaq, and I'm not referring to Expedition Bigfoot either. That show also falls into the category of "docu-drama". Discovery Channel, History Channel, and the Travel Channel have all decided to compete for the Lowball Cheese Award, but give them their due; people continue to watch and it looks like the trend will continue.
