The article “the inuit paradox” starts off with an Inupiat woman describing the most common foods that she consumed growing up in an Inuit community in which foraging is necessary for survival. She describes that the traditional Inuit diet focused primarily on meat that was foraged from the environment.
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 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
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.
A culture is known to be a group of people, usually a group of First Nations people who share the same knowledge, beliefs, values, languages, experiences, etc. amongst each other as a community. Those cultural knowledge and activities continue to be passed down to younger generations as time goes on. First Nations cultures are very important to many First Nations people because it is like the backbone to not only their future but their future generations as well. Just like the Inuit people who cherish their own people and culture. (NEED REFERENCE)
All of the creators in these religious groups had the power to build and add to this world.
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.
Over centuries from when the first Europeans arrived to the Americas, the Native American populations have drastically decreased. The diminishing population of Native Americans is a crucial warning that the culture will potentially go extinct. However, many individuals have taken efforts to preserve their traditions and keep them alive during the future generations. Here are some inspiring Native American women who strive to maintain their native language and culture in this rapid era of digital reliance and social media.
Historically it has always been the trend that people are in constant competition for power so that they may impose their ideologies on the rest of society. The government has imposed political and social structures that are in line with their views but they have been shown to promote social inequalities at Indigenous women’s expense. The overrepresentation of Indigenous women in the Criminal Justice System is seen though history, and discrimination can be found at The Canadian Justice system’s actions as an agent for society as a whole has contributed to the devaluation of Indigenous Women. There have been numerous studies and reports done on the relationship between the Canadian government and Indigenous women which has shown the negative impacts of policies enacted. These actions have proved to
European explorers typically viewed Native Americans and Inuit (formerly called “Eskimo”) peoples as uncivilized savages who could be ignored, treated as curiosities, or manipulated to meet the goals of businessmen, clerics, scientists, or politicians. Civil interaction with native peoples was pursued only when it was critical to the success of European ventures such as procuring gold, silver, fur, and land. These exploitative or antagonistic relationships with native groups arose from ethnocentric attitudes which to some degree still persist in both public and private arenas. But today, we understand the importance of looking at primary sources, both written and archaeological, for a richer and more complete narrative about what such earlier encounters meant to the participants.
The Inuits had many ceremonies relating to their religion and celebrating. Many of their traditions had music and dancing involved. The Inuits main instrument for music was drums. They made drums by caribou skin or walrus bladder stretched over a wooden hoop. Drum dances usually happened in very large igloos. The Inuits songs and dances were about spirits, told stories of a good hunt, or welcomed others. One special type of music the Inuits was called throat singing. Throat singing is when two ladies compete against each other. They make sounds with their throat and chest. There were also religious ceremonies called Kashims. Kashims were healing rituals. There were also special ceremonies such as the Bladder dance. This dance was for the belief
In order to solidify the First Nations’ place as “designated outsiders in their own homeland” (8) the press had to show how Indigenous people become the ‘other’ when compared to the white settlers of Canada. In comparison to the white setters presumed racial superiority, the media would use headlines and stories that evoked images of Indians as dependent children. One specific instance of this is the “federal government’s poster campaign to instruct the ‘Eskimo mothers’ about how to use their newly awarded family allowance funds by the Department of National Health and Welfare” (148). This campaign created a standard that, despite being mothers and raising children in this land for generations, the Inuit mothers were not capable of providing
One day, a small Inuit girl on a peninsula in Alaska was gathering the fish that her father had caught. Suddenly, a large cruise ship pulled up and blew it’s horn. This scared the Inuit girl, and she dropped all the fish and ran back inside. Most Inuit are scared, like this Inuit girl, of ships such as this. The Bering Strait is an area of ocean between Alaska and Russia. The ice is melting, and more luxury liners are being lured in. This causes huge issues, like the Bering Strait melting, tourism locations opening up, and how Native tribes respond to the large ships.
What's different about american culture and inuits culture? The inuits food is mainly fish, whales, walruses, and polar bear. The americans food is a variety between american food, chinese food , mexican food, and ect. Why the inuits food affects their climate is because they have to eat this food because there is not much around to eat or to get . Why americans can eat whatever because we have so many different climate in the United States where they can get different food from. I know america has a lot of different kinds of food because we have so many resources that we can get different kinds of food. Why my evidence supports my answer is because i've read in a book that there is not very much out there for food because it is so cold
I have never heard of the claim the Inuit languages have more words than in the English language. With the issue of determining whether this statement is true or not, I believe consulting an expert in the Inuit language is the best approach. Also, for a word to be considered different from another it must have a slightly different meaning or be used in a different context.
