Heidi Inuit Tribe Analysis

Everyone has heard of the term Native Americans at least once, but have you ever heard of the Inuit and Innu people? I did some research on the Innu and Inuit people and there were a lot of things they had in common and things they didn’t. So, today I will be teaching you about the similarities and differences between the Innu people and the Inuit people!

The Coastal Makah and the Plateau Nez Perce are different because of how they gather food. With evidence from the film “Native Peoples of the Northwest” and in the textbook “The Washington Journey” The Makahs used spears and nets to hunt for fish like salmon or sometimes hunt a whale. This proves what the Makah does instead of the Nez Perce.The Nez Perce males hunted, fished, and gathered wild plants while the women dried meat and fish for eating. This would prove the difference in what the Perce does instead of the Makah.The similarities with the two tribes is that they both hunted for fish. In conclusion, these were the differences between the two tribes.

The artwork is different and unique. They made artwork of arctic animals, people, spirits. Like, polar bears, the chief, and the gods they believe in. The housing is also different. They live in igloos, tents, and Inuvialuit houses. Igloos are made of ice. Tents are made of wood and animal hide. Also, Inuvialuit houses are made of wood, dirt, and hides. They also ate different foods. The Inuit ate Hooded Seal, Beluga Whale, Walrus, Narwhal, Caribou, Polar Bear, Musk Oxen, Arctic Fox, Arctic Hare, and the Arctic Bird. The Inuit are different.

There are many similarities and differences between Inuit, Eastern Woodlands Hunters, and Eastern Woodlands Farmers. They are different because they had different regions, environment, and history. They are have similarities like where in the world they lived and came from.

This essay will be about three of the tribes that made up Canada’s first people. Those three tribes are the Inuit, Innu, and Plateau people. There are many similarities with the tribes. There is also many differences between the tribes. This essay will cover the similarities and differences between the three tribes.

So these tribes have a lot of things in common and things that are different. The Inuit,Haida,and Siox are more alike than you think. They all live in Canada together but in different territories and provinces. The inuit live in northern canada,Greenland,and Siberia.

The Canadian Inuit were a domestic, tribal, egalitarian society in the 19th century. And some cultural changes occurred; making the Inuit adapt and become more aware of other resources they could get hold of, for gathering and hunting for food. In the 19th Century, the Europeans discovered the Inuit culture and this provided new resources for the Inuit to gain an easier way to gather and hunt for food. But because of the European influence, the Inuit’s culture changed to adapt with European Individuals living in their land, and European resources that had been made access to them. By this cultural change in the 19th century there was “an increased diversity in the social structure and material culture of the Labrador Inuit society” (Auger, 1993:27). The Labrador Inuit was a significant Inuit Society to have an ethnographical research made to understand a little bit more to; how the Inuit was affected and how the food process was changed. It will also be discussed the significant ideas and techniques that the Inuit used to gather and hunt for resources.

Although very similar, the Haida and the Inuit can also be vastly different. I want to point out the similarities and differences between the challenges faced, the resources available, and the universals of culture in each tribe.

How are the Inuit, Haida, and Iroquois alike? Well to start they all live in Canada! The Inuit live the Atlantic coast of Labrador in Canada. The Haida live in the West Coast of British Columbia in Canada. Last but not least, the Iroquois live Southwest and North Ontario in Canada! Second, they use the similar fishing tools. The Inuit use spears and kayaks. The Haida use spears, nets and traps. Last the Iroquois use spears, arrows and nets. So they all use spears to help them fish. Third, their art. All of the tribes use their are to communicate and also tell stories. Some use it to tell spirits or talk about spirits. Fourth, they all got interrupted by the Europeans. The Inuit is was a good thing cause they taught the Inuit new thing but they brought drug which is illegal to the Inuit. To the Haida it was bad cause they took/killed all the seals so the Haida couldn’t have seal. Last, to the Iroquois it was a good thing because they got to see new things. Fifth, their homes. They made their home after

The people of Inuit, Yup’ik, Unangan, and other Native Americans Indians have lived in the harshest environment on Earth from Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, and to the East of Greenland along the coast of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. From Labrador to the interior of Alaska the Athapaskan, Cree, Innu, and other Native’s people lived in the subarctic region of the land. These people had the ability to depend on their years of knowledge of the sky, ice, ocean, land, and animal behaviors in order to survive. Living in the area that was vast and dealing with seasonal dynamic extremes these Native people of the Artic and Subarctic had a honorable endurance for an millennia of exchanged goods, ceremonies, and shared feasts with neighboring goods that has help them throughout the years.

              The Inuit tribe has used many natural resources in assisting them to provide food. As they hunt, many of their game don’t just provide food, yet more than that. The Inuit hunters have used sealskin and blubber, from seals they have caught, were used to make clothing, materials for boats, tents, harpoon lines, and fuel for heat and light. Their boats, harpoons lines, clothing, help them gather even more food.

They have different styles. The Inuit make carvings of men or animals very different than the Haida's art they make baskets and they weave hats. But these aren't the only ones that are different the Iroquois do clay art. All of these groups are very different. So this means they are all different. So they all have their own type of style. Speaking of style they also have different types of housing. Like us they have different types of

The Inuit have a Bladder Feast, which is a act of respect for the seals they catch during the year (Institution and Smithsonian). Lots of the Inuit culture is about them giving respect to the animals they kill and they use every part of that animal. The Inuit would hunt animals like bison, whales, fish, and arctic bears. The Inuit people have mastered the skills of survival in the arctic region. They use many tools in order to hunt. They use spears for catching whales and they hunt in groups on land. Over the years they have improved their ways of hunting and building their

The Inuit are very spiritual people and they do not believe in a lot of the same things we do. They believe in something called Animism, all living and nonliving things have a spirit. When someone or something dies they believe that things spirit goes to the spiritual world. They only people powerful enough to talk or communicate with these spirits are religious leaders, Shamans or “Angakoks”. The way these religious leader speak with them is through dances or charms. They wear masks and clothes of an animal because they believe it helps them to communicate with them better. Not all spirits are good ones, when the weather was bad or there was an illness going around they believed it to be a displeased spirit, but the Inuit used guidelines to try to make the spirit happy. There was five rules that need to be followed in order to please the spirits, 1) women are not allowed to sew caribou skins on the inside of there igloo on sea ice in the winter. 2) Inuit can not eat sea mammal and land mammal at the same meal. 3) A knife used to kill whales had to wrapped in sealskin, not caribou skin. 4) After killing a seal melted snow had to dripped into its mouth to quench the spirit's thirst. 5) The Inuit saved the bladder of the hunted because they believed that’s where the spirit was found inside. One of the most important spirits was Sedna, The Goddess of the Sea. She provided them with food from the sea, which made the Inuit most happy.

The Inuit people are also known as Eskimos. They have lived in the Artic area; the Tundra, where the climate is cold and too severe for trees to grow, for over a thousand years. Over the thousands of years living in the Artic environment, the Inuit people have adapted culturally and biologically. Among the biological adaptations, their bodies altered permitting them to adapt to the environment in five ways. In addition to biological adaptations, the Inuit people also adapted culturally, changing how they dressed, the type of home they lived in, and the number of individuals in their groups.
