The Inuit Indians And The Eskimo Indians

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.

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 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.

The Inuit, Haida, and Sioux were some of the very first people in Canada. These three groups were the same and different in many ways. Their way of life is very interesting in many ways. They are all alike in some ways, and the Inuit, Haida, and Sioux are very different.

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 Cree constitute the largest indigenous group in Canada, with over 200,000 members living in Canada alone . Scientists believe that the Cree descended from the people who crossed the Bering Strait during the last Ice age. Evidence suggests

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 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 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.

They live on the land in question, and are considered to be a nation within a nation, which would mean that if the land was taken over by a country other than Canada they would not identify with the new beliefs being brought in, as Canada has let them freely practice their culture, integrating it into the Canadian identity. Another issue for the Inuit is modernization of the land, which is what Russia is trying to do by drilling for the oil resources. This goes against what the Inuit stand for, which is preserving the land and resources that lie within. If Canada pursues their interest in the Arctic, then the indigenous people will be able to stay where they are, preserve their culture, and care for their

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.

During the summer seasons, Inuit would mainly hunt caribou. Traditionally, a caribou hunt occurred in the fall. In the southern-most parts of Inuit territory, salmon was hunted during that time. In the winter, when the ice was solid, kayaks were used for seal hunting.

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.

The Inuits live in really harsh conditions in the Arctic. They have lived there for a really long time. They live in a place called Nunavut. They are brave to live there. They are not able to make wooden homes, because of their climate region, so they make snow houses called “Igloos”. In the summer, when the snow melts, they cannot make igloos. They live in tent like huts made of animal skins. Inuit communities are found in the: Northwest Territories, Labrador, and Quebec.
