During the Gjoa Expedition of the Northwest Passage, 1903-06, Amundsen mastered using animal skins for clothing, which repelled water better than cloth clothing, and he learned about sled dogs and their usefulness pulling sledges.
Otherwise, Amundsen learned some of his polar survival and living skills from Fridjof Nansen, who indeed spent much time learning skills from the 'natives'.
Inuit natives claimed European ancestry from the Goya crew (of seven), but no DNA evidence ever confirmed that Amundsen took a partner there. He often advised against it and wrote warnings to his crew not to take Inuit partners.
