Eskimos do not have ice shelters. They live in houses.
Inuit did not use ice. They used sod and wooden beams that they cut. The typical traditional inuit 'house' used sod, wood, rocks, and whatever else they wanted to put into it. But now they live in regular houses.
The word Eskimo is still used and welcome by some natives. Most of Canada's natives of the north prefer the word Inuit. The Eskimo of Alaska and Russian still take no offense at the word. There are a whole variety of self-designations by Northern Natives including Yup'ik, Inuit, Inupiaq, Inuvialuit, Kalaalisut, and various others. When in dealing with a specific person or tribe just ask.
The Inuit Tribes lived in IGLOOS.
The Inuit (Eskimos) used to take old people out onto the ice and leave them there to die when they got too old to help the family.
Huskies were first bred as beasts of burden; to pull heavy loads across snow and ice. They were used extensively in this way for hundreds of years by eskimos and inuit people.
"They live in little ice houses (igloos), and they fish." Are you kidding me? I live among the Eskimos and have never a single one live in an ice house. An "iglu" is a house; period. There are many kinds. Today Eskimos live in iglu constructed of wood and glass, with gas, electric, or diesel heaters, stoves, refrigerators, telephones, and even television! The "snowhouses" that people commonly refer to as "igloos" were traditionally constructed only as temporary shelters while out traveling during the cold season. Traditional longer-term (what Westerners might call "permanent") housing was primarily semi-subterranean. The Inuit, which live in Canada and Greenland, used snowhouses for longer-term dwellings. However, Inuit are not Eskimos, and Eskimos are not Inuit. So, while Eskimos do fish (including whaling), they also hunt (caribou, seals, geese, bear, etc); and they do not live in ice houses - even little ones.
Eskimos live in ice homes.
They are known as Igloos.
