Research Paper On Inuits

In conclusion, the Cree and Inuit peoples appear to have many differences. But in actuality their way of life is very similar. They have both just adapted to their environment and learned how to best use what is available to them. They were both affected by the arrival of Europeans, in positive and negative ways, but they adapted. They both use their artwork to tell stories, and animals play a big part in their heritage and

The Inuit tribe are a nomadic people, so they did not stay in one place very long often. They would use snow to make an igloo. They would use harder snow to make the dome shape, and soft snow just to fill in any holes and insulation. If the igloo were permanent, they would use animal fur to make a sleeping platform, or in other words, a bed. In the western arctic, the Inuit, called the Inuvialuit there, had access to trees.

The Eastern Woodland Farmers and Hunters both live near the Five lakes between U.S.A. and Canada, they both use snowshoes during the winter, and they both lived near south, southwest of Ontario. The Eastern Woodland Hunters and The Inuit both fish as one of their ways to get food, both were also nomadic people, and they also were both peaceful people(they rarely fight in war). The Eastern Woodland Farmers and The Inuit both used boats to get around in the water, they both

The Inuit people live at a unique location. They live in the far North and into Canada. “There is a Canadian village, named Grise Fjord, just 500 miles from the North Pole” (Sontella 7). The Inuit people

Though they both live in the Mackenzie Delta, the Inuit have the northernmost part of the Delta. The Inuit live in the Arctic in places like Nunavut, and Greenland. The Inuit also hunt seal, because they reach more land that is next to an ocean. Adding on to the previous statement, the Dene scarcely even touch the ocean in their own territory, except for the Hudson bay. This being said, the Inuit can eat animals like seals, and walruses, while the Dene eat land animals like moose, and bunnies. The Inuit can also be contrasted in what water they are near.

You might be thinking to yourself, the Innu and Inuit people MUST be the same since they have the “same” name but the Innu people are different. For example, the housing that the Innu people mostly did was a wigwam. A wigwam is a type of shelter that is made from birch bark and wooden frames. The housing is different from the Inuit people because the Inuit people created igloos made from ice cubes, not birch bark. Also, the Innu people had hunting leaders for hunting groups when they went to hunt caribou, fish, and some more meat. This is different than the inuit people hunting “plans” because they didn’t have hunting leaders, they just went hunting whenever basically. There are a lot more differences the Innu people did compared to Inuit people but these are some of the ones that stuck out to me.

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.

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.

The igloo (from an Eskimo word meaning "home") was constructed of packed snow and used only during the winter, villages of igloos were built on the firm ocean ice of the central Arctic to help seal hunting through holes in the ice. They were also used as temporary structures in Greenland and in parts of Canada and Alaska. Food The traditional method of hunting seals during winter through the frozen ocean ice was most typical of the Eskimo of north central Canada.

The Canadian Arctic are known as the Inuit, which they are commonly known as Eskimos. The Inuit is a subculture of a Native American culture and they are losing their homelands due to weather changes. Even though the Inuit were the last Native American people to arrive they were one of the first people in Canada. They settled in Canada and they made their own customs. They have many different types of elements like of religion, art, clothings, and customs and traditions.

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.

Most of us don’t know much about the Eskimo, and what we think we know is often wrong. Although we think of Eskimos as residents of Alaska, they can be found in Siberia (an area of Russia), northern Canada, or we can even find them in Greenland. Eskimos probably migrated from Siberia to North America about ten thousand years ago by crossing the ice bridge that was connecting Asia and Alaska. That ice bridge has melted since then and became a body of water called the Bering Strait. Eskimos typically have tan skins, brown or black eyes, high cheekbones, a broad face, and straight black hair. They look a lot like the people of Siberia and a little bit like an American Indian.

Most believe that Native American live deep within temperate forests, but one tribe lives within a much colder and frigid climate. This tribe is known as the Inuits. Inuit means “The Real People” (Santella 5). A group of Inuits traveled to the Americas from Asia, and they went towards the north pole. They eventually settled in the Arctic regions and began to thrive (7). They are widely dispersed throughout the Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian, and Greenland regions (6). The Inuits have an interesting history, lifestyle, and religion.

Over the course of history, indigenous people have been the target of discrimination, racism, and systematic oppression. Beginning as early as 1492 when Columbus reached the Caribbean, indigenous people were either attacked, enslaved, or forced to move back to make way for European expansion, which ultimately led to the destruction of Native American livelihood. Multiple wars broke out between the Europeans and indigenous groups, like the Pequot War in 1637 and King Philip’s War in 1675. Many indigenous people were forced to assimilate into white culture or otherwise, risk execution. Then in the 1800s, when President Andrew Jackson enacted the Indian Removal Policy, the Trail of Tears occurred (over 4,000 of the 15,000 Cherokees died on the

The Eskimos are found in the northern tip of Russia across Alaska and northern Canada to Greenland. The term Eskimo comes from a Native American word that may have meant eaters of raw meat netter of snowshoes or speakers of foreign language. They are also referred to as Inuit meaning people.
