People live in the entire polar region (Canada, Alaska, Russia, Greenland, northern Japan and the Scandinavian countries) They live there because they can (have the skills and knowledge), they are, or at least were, safe from Southerners, because they always have (tradition) and they like it (familiarity). There is sense of unity among all of these peoples. They meet annually for native games. In 2007 there were representaves from Alaska, the Yukon, northern Alberta, Nunavut, Northern Quebec, Greenland and the Russian provinces of Chukotka and Magadan.

Aside: The term Eskimo is a tad on the derogatory side - popular folk wisdom has it that it means "Eater of raw meat" in Cree. The northern Canadian First Nations people prefer to be called Inuit.
