The Inuit people live in the far northern areas of Alaska, Canada, Siberia, and Greenland. They originally made their home along the Alaskan coast, but migrated to other areas. Everything about the lives of the Inuit is influenced by the cold tundra climate in which they live. The typical materials for making homes such as wood and mud are hard to find in the frozen tundra of the Arctic. The Inuit learned to make warm homes out of snow and ice for the winter. During the summer they would make homes from animal skin stretched over a frame made from driftwood or whalebones. The Inuit word for home is "igloo."The Inuit needed thick and warm clothing to survive the cold weather. They used animal skins and furs to stay warm. They made shirts, pants, boots, hats, and big jackets called anoraks from caribou and seal skin. They would line their clothes with furs from animals like polar bears, rabbits, and foxes. The Inuit people were unable to farm and grow their own food in the harsh desert of the tundra. They mostly lived off of meat from hunting animals. They used harpoons to hunt seals, walruses, and the bowhead whale. They also ate fish and foraged for wild berries. A high percentage of their food was fatty, which gave them energy in the cold weather. In order to hunt larger prey like walruses and whales, the Inuit hunters would gather in a large group. To hunt a whale, typically at least 20 hunters would gather on a large boat armed with a number of harpoons. They would attach a number of seal-skin balloons filled with air to the harpoons. This way the whale could not dive deep into the water when it was first speared. Each time that the whale would come to the surface for air, the hunters would harpoon it again. Once the whale died, they would tie it to the boat and tow it back to shore. A member of the Inuit people is called an Inuk. The warm soft boots worn by the Inuit are called mukluks or kamik. In order to mark areas and to keep from getting lost, paths were marked with a pile of stones called an inuksuk. Nearly ninety percent of the Inuit in Western Alaska died from disease after they came into contact with Europeans in the 1800s. Inuit women were responsible for sewing, cooking, and raising the children. The men provided food by hunting and fishing. The Inuit had no formal marriage ceremony or ritual. After hunting, they would perform rituals and sing songs in honor of the animal's spirit.
We call this the Jeanie Green Song. She is one of Alaska's most beloved women and does the show "Heart Beat Alaska" promoting the Indigenous Native cause across the state and beyond. We love her!!
It is said, by some, that the stone statues were built for the hunters. They would go away or into the wind and use the stars for direction but usually they did not want to travel to far from a stone, or well known marker. Snow and melting changes things so that if one was to pick a wall of ice as a marker next month with the melt or the snow it would have changed. They would know which was left and right by the stones. Bits of glass or a shiny metal would catch the sun
While I am not Inuit I live in the fairbanks area of Alaska and even when it gets to sixty below I willl at most put on a light jacket and still end wear jeans. Its all based on what you as an individual can stand.
@fazlam Its scientifically proven that a diet of fish and marine animals often results in longer lifespan, countries like Japan have one of the highest lifespan in the world, and studies show its due to their diet (lots of fish)

Inuit knows piece and heart and that's what they're living for (not for money but piece)well I am one of that "inuit" right now they're called greenlanders :)
@y0utub3r12345678 give us a perfectly good description about why u hate the inuit people. there has to be a perfectly good explaination for this. there's always a reason for something
@melancholykaren Look, I didn't say that, I hope these beautiful people have long lives. It was someone else who told me that and I was responding to him by saying it was "probally" true. Read the person I was replying to.
@Superchickenman159 War, Gangs, Murders, Serial Killers, Blind shooters in schools, Poverty, Ignorance, Pornography...I much prefer the cheap knockoff version then
@ yOutub3r 12345678 pleas do not be so hard on ALL Inuit pepole whatever they have done to make you hate them please do not hold the whole Inuit race at falt
Please stop say shite... because theories claim that their ancestors ( there are thousands of years) came from the north -eastern Siberia you think Inuit are always Asian ... So Iranian , semitic and North Indians are European for you? You know that the first humans came from Ethiopia , so why you don't consider yourself African because humanity finds its earliest roots in east africa ? Inuit have develop their culture in alaska, so they can be considered as true Alaskan natives , however, they are totaly distinct to the amerindians and even other peoples of the Arctic regions ( ethnically , culturally , by the language and way of life) then they emigrated in large numbers in the far north of Canada and even to the west of Greenland ... For me, this is an amazing people because they have survived despite weather conditations ,and they still famous hunters. When I see comments that say they are Mongolian or turkic it's just ridicul and funny like certainly people who say that they look like Asian , as if all Asians had a single identical physics for everyone ... YOU know that a Mongol does not look like a Japanese who do not look like a han Chinese nor thai , Vietnamese or Filipino and not forghet that when we say " asian " it is also pakistanis , Indian, Sri Lankan , lebanese , saudi which is totaly different ...
@y0utub3r12345678 no dude. they're not. theres different parts of inuit people you know. people that go huntin and wear animal skins because they live in a cold poor area and others that live near to civillisation and get paid alot of money because they do real jobs...duuuh

I don't know about Canada, but it sure is in EastGreenland! :) And as you can see the pic is taken during the summer.
Oh how I wish I could go to that place and meet the people there. I have a fictional Inuit friend and his name is Maki.
i just want to know are Inuit people mixed with Native American and Asian ancestry?
While I am not Inuit I live in the fairbanks area of Alaska and even when it gets to sixty below I willl at most put on a light jacket and still end wear jeans. Its all based on what you as an individual can stand.
