Questioning exclusion of Nanook from list of docufiction films

This list has traditionally started its list of docufiction films with Flaherty's Moana. My question is what the substantive reason is to exclude Flaherty's earlier Nanook of the North. As with Moana and other later films (e.g., Man of Aran), Flaherty in Nanook created fictional identities and family relationships, casting locals he considered likely to be good "performers" into these invented roles. As with Moana, too, he set-up artificial sequences, for example, when he arranged for Nanook to hunt with a spear, in the manner of his ancestors, rather than with a rifle as was by then standard. Perhaps it has been a "tradition" to pick out Moana as "the first" but could we please have a substantive discussion of why Moana counts as docufiction but Nanook does not? Thank you.

However, I'd still like to hear from anyone willing to offer a rationale for leaving Nanook off the list. Nandt1 (talk) 13:21, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
