Best Answer

Inuit are the descendants of what anthropologists call the Thule Culture, who emerged from western Alaska, after crossing the land bridge from Asia, around CE 1000 and spread eastwards across the Arctic. They displaced the related Dorset Culture, the last major Paleo-eskimo culture (in Inuktitut, called the Tuniit). Inuit legends speak of the Tuniit as "giants", people who were taller and stronger than the Inuit. Less frequently, the legends refer to the Dorset as "dwarfs". Researchers believe that the Dorset culture lacked dogs, larger weapons and other technologies that gave the expanding Inuit society an advantage. By 1300, the Inuit had settled in west Greenland, and they moved into east Greenland over the following century.
