The Inuits
The Inuits lived in Alaska (shown in red on left).
The Inuits are more commonly known as Eskimos. Men would hunt and fish while women would cook and take care of the children. The Inuits would make kayaks out of seal or other animal skins stretched over a wood or whalebone-skeleton frame to get around in the water. These came in handy when fishing. When traveling on land, the Inuits would often use dog sleds to travel quickly over the snow. |
During the winter, the Inuits lived in snow shelters called igloos.
When the temperatures were higher, the Inuits would make houses out of animal skins and bones. To get food, the Inuits would have to hunt and fish. They mostly ate whales, walrus, caribou, seals, and polar bears. To keep warm, the Inuits would sew together animal skins and furs to wear as clothes. |
