The Inuit Indians And The Eskimo Indians

Americans wore a long time ago. When Indians wore clothes and accessories, they did not wear what they wore for the fun of it. They wore what they wore because of their beliefs and religion and climate, and available resources. Many tribes had different beliefs so that would imply that they all did not wear the same exact things. Today I will be talking about the clothing of three tribes, the Eskimo, Iroquois, and Navajo. First off are the Eskimo tribe. The name Eskimo is not the name they gave themselves

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 Inuit people live at a unique location

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.

who is considered an Indian is something that many people have asked. But is there one clear concise answer? No, there is not one answer that can define what an Indian is. This could range from person to person and how they define themselves or this could be a definition of what the acts define them as. The government prefers to go with the definitions of the acts.

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."

located in present-day Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. The Native Americans that lived there were the Inuit and the Aleut. Their dialects were called Eskimo-Aleut. California was home to about 100 different tribes and 200 different dialects. Although there were about 100 different tribes, they lived fairly similar lives. Instead of living agriculture based lives, they were hunter-gatherers. These Indians were generally peaceful.

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

Introduction and Early Contact 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.

Moreover, the film “Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)” is an illustration of visual sovereignty as well, being the “first Inuit feature-length film.” Raheja writes (Raheja 14).
