They are one of the smallest surviving indigenous groups in the world but their way of life is threatened by climate change and by the increasing influence of the outside world. Stephen tells Matthew Bannister about living in perpetual darkness in temperatures of as low as minus 40 degrees centigrade on a diet of walrus and whale blubber.
