Flaherty was alone, in the sense of white, proffessional assistants,
but he utilised the the local community when and where he could.  He gave
great credence to the local population for bringing him the vast quantitites
of clean water he needed for developing (he developed and edited on
site) and for generally helping out.  He gives an account of this
in an article in an out of date book called (I think) Film
and Film Makers, which has had various editions.  It's a series of
articles and profiles on film directors, mostly transcribed
interviews.
