What did the Inuit Indians eat?

Answer 1

Patience and skill. An understanding of nature's cycles was needed to be able to get enough food to survive all year in the north. The Inuit relied on fish, marine mammals and Arctic wildlife such as Caribou,bear, seal and walrus. Berries were gathered in the fall. Eggs in the spring.

Answer 2

The Inuit are an aboriginal people who's tribal lands are located in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Siberia and North America. The traditional Inuit dietary staples were seal, walrus, whale, caribou, polar bear, arctic hare and fox, fish, birds, eggs and berries. Because they ate mostly raw food and included every part of the animal, the Inuit did not lack vitamins, even though they had almost no vegetables to eat.

Answer 3

Food is a critical feature of identity for all people and this includes the modern day Inuit.

Local foods are often referred to as "our" food, "real" food, or, in Alaska, simply "Eskimo" food. In Canada, such foods are called "country" food. "Country" foods include caribou, Arctic hare, ptarmigan, ringed seal, bearded seal, walrus, polar bear, beluga whale, migrating fish such as Arctic char, Atlantic salmon, and Pacific salmon, and migratory birds like the Canada goose, common eider, king eider, and black guillemots. "White people's" food includes items shipped from southern Canada including fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, processed foods, and dry goods.
