Inuit Culture Analysis

Today I will be comparing the Inuit to the mi’kmaq. They are native tribes of Canada. They are different tribes

All of the groups that I studied are from all over Canada. All of the tribes are from mostly Northern Canada.I have been studying how the Inuit, Haida, and the Sioux are alike and how they are different.

According to the text, culture refers to the ways of acting and thinking, as well as the material objects that in harmony form a people’s way of life *. The physical environment of the Artic strongly influences the culture surrounding the Inuit people, mirroring a hunter and gathers’ society, as shown in the film, Eskimo Fight for Life.

After all, she achieved her purpose that she united two enemies Russia and the U.S bridged the divide between Russia and the United States. She made people to feel really happiness. For example: (one Inuit woman, a pediatrician from Magadan, she had family living on both sides of the Bering Strait, on Little Diomede and on Big Diomede. However, they had been separated by political differences. She told Lynne Cox that after today she thought they might see each other again. She smiled and and her eyes filled with tears.), that comes from Reading 2 (65). The Soviets had sent more than fifty people to welcome them with open arms. On the rocky beach, they held the party. They were standing around the tables, Americans and Soviets, they were talking

In these 5 paragraphs I will talk about the Inuit and Haida tribes.The second paragraph will talk about challenges they both face.The third will talk about resources they both have.The fourth will talk about the Universals of Culture such as shelter,tools,and clothing.

The Colonial Americans came to the New World in search of gold, silver, land, better opportunities, and most importantly they desired religious freedom. Colonial Americans weren’t the only people practicing religion. Even before the exploration of America, the Native Americans who were already residents of the land had begun in their own religious practices, traditions, and creating their own cultures. In all religious beliefs there is a divine creator or creators and we know this through studying the writings of different social groups. The creators in each religion may have different characteristics, roles, and relationships with humankind, but they all play an essential role in shaping the culture and beliefs of a person or a whole society.

The Inuit the Sioux and the Haida have a lot in common and a lot of things that are different. For example, how they do their art work, what tools and how they dress. I would like to learn more about what is their state animal, what is their state bird ,and some more about their religions.

The inuit, haida and iroquois are all hunters. They hunt their food down. Their main food is bison or buffalo, they follow the bisons and when the bison stop to graze the indians sneak up and kill their meal. All of the tribes live in canada. They migrated from pangea, the giant continent that was all 7 continents combined into one big continent. They all started in Africa and they started migrating to where their food was going. Their food was leading them to canada. They followed animals like mammoths spreading all over the world and they started making tribes and finding different ways of life.

The Canadian native aboriginals are the original indigenous settlers of North Canada. They are made up of the Inuit, Metis and the First nation. Through archeological evidence old crow flats seem to the earliest known settlement sites for the aboriginals. Other archeological evidence reveals the following characteristics of the Aboriginal culture: ceremonial architecture, permanent settlement, agriculture and complex social hierarchy. A number of treaties and laws have been enacted amongst the First nation and European immigrants throughout Canada. For instance the Aboriginal self-government right was a step to integrate them in Canadian society. This allows for a chance to manage cultural, historical, economic, political and healthcare of the indigenous people communities (Asch 21).

The Inuit is losing their way of life really fast and their home is vanishing before their eyes it is sad because this is their home and they have lived there for thousands of years.The Inuit also known as the Eskimos are a group that lives in the arctic and they have lived there for thousands of years.Because of many things their way of life is changing and they see what happens first then it will then happen us but their life is changing because of…pollution,unpredictability of the arctic,people.

The article we read over the Inuit tribe in Alaska was about this group of people and how the chances of them getting cancer are so little, it almost never happens. “1 in 1000 chances” as it says in the blog. The author of the blog is arguing that the reason the Inuit tribe’s chances of getting cancer are so rare because of the vitamin B17, which is in grass, which is what caribou eat, which is what the Inuit people eat. According to the author, vitamin B17 (or Laetrile) causes cancer prevention. While I agree that the theory does make sense, I don’t necessarily agree with it due to my own amount of research. I agree that most of the facts do hold up, such as the one mentioned earlier about the “1 in 1000 chances” and the fact that the Inuit people’s diet consists of caribou, seal, salmon, bears, and others. But as a whole, I feel that it may be other factors that are contributing as to why the Inuit people’s chances of getting cancer are so low.

Many people, when they think of Native Americans, will think of dancing and strange rituals, which is not the case with the Inuit Tribe. The Inuit Tribe are located in the far Arctic North. Also known as the Eskimo, the Inuit people have adapted to live in the freezing temperatures. They live by some of the most common ways Native Americans do. They practice not to waste anything they kill and also practice making arts. The Inuit Tribe have many ways to survive in the wild even with the hardships and scarce resources around them (Sontella 5).

The Native Americans had been in North and South American for thousands of years before Christopher Columbus was credited with the discovery. Back when the continents were still connected, the Natives found their way across a bridge that connected Asia and Alaska. An estimated 50 million people were living in the Americas at the time Columbus found land in the Bahamas. Of these 50 million people living in the Americas, some 10 million or so were living in what is now considered the United States. Time went on and these people migrated south and east, making adjustments as the climate changed.

The Inuit People The word Eskimo is not a proper Eskimo word. It means "eaters of raw meat" and was used by the Algonquin Indians of eastern Canada for their neighbours who wore animal-skin clothing and were ruthless hunters. The name became commonly employed by European explorers and now is generally used, even by them. Their own term for themselves is Inuit which means the "real people."

There are many universals of culture, and they are all affected by the geography greatly. To start in Canada and Alaska it is very cold and snowy so these universals, Shelter, Food, Clothing and Art and/or Recreation can be affected by this climate and geography.
