What is the Inuit's family structure?
The Inuit still exist. They live in the far north, dress warmly, and traditionally eat seafood, and hunt caribou,
since they live in a climate where agriculture is not feasible.
What kinds of feathers do Indians wear?
One kind of feather that Indians wear is a black and white feather with a stripe in the middle.
^^^ that is not always true. It depends on what tribe it is. Most people assume it is that type of feather, an Eagles feather, because early photographers would pose Native American's with pre-made head dresses. The purpose of a head dress was to signify honor, rank and ultimately to block sun from the Native's face.
Did the inuit tribe stay in one place?
No, the Inuits moved around. They did this so they could find better areas and spots for hunting.
How do Eskimos survive the cold in Alaska?
Because we are mammals we are not only adaptable to any living condition but we are also warm blooded. This means that we have to be constantly warm. So the three main things are keeping warm, drinking water, and eating anything that is edible.

How do the inuit people earn a living?
The Inuit fed themselves by hunting other animals or fishing. The climate was too cold, the shallow layers of soil would be frozen solid so the plants wouldn't survive. For fishing they would cut a circle into the ice until they reached the ocean. Then they would stick the fishing pole inside and then wait. For hunting they would hunt polar bears, birds, and even whales. Then they would use the bones for tools such as hunting spears or fishing poles. Since the land was so cold and dry the Inuits didn't waste anything from the animals body.

Inuit (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᓄᐃᑦ, singular Inuk / ᐃᓄᒃ) is a general term for a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic coasts of Siberia, Alaska, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador and Greenland (see Eskimo). Until fairly recent times, there has been a remarkable homogeneity in the culture throughout this area, which traditionally relied on fish, sea mammals, and land animals for food, heat, light, clothing, tools, and shelter. Their language is Inuktitut.
The Inuit Circumpolar Conference defines its constituency to include Canada's Inuit and Inuvialuit, Greenland's Kalaallit people, Alaska's Inupiaq and Yupik people, and Russia's Yupik. However, the Yupik are not Inuit in the sense of being descended from the Thule and prefer to be called Yupik or Eskimo.
Canadian Inuit live primarily in Nunavut (a territory in Canada), Nunavik (the northern part of Quebec) and in Nunatsiavut (the Inuit settlement region in Labrador). The Inuvialuit live primarily in the Mackenzie River delta, on Banks Island and part of Victoria Island in the Northwest Territories. There have been Inuit settlements in Yukon, especially at Herschel Island, but there are none at present. Alaskan Inupiaq live on the North Slope of Alaska, while the Yupik live in western Alaska and a part of Chukotka Autonomous Area in Russia.
The Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami is a national organization in Canada which represents over 40,000 Canadian Inuit.

How did eskimos live their lifes long ago?
eskimo use tents of caribou skins or seal skins for summer.In cold times, houses were built of sod, driftwood, ofr sometimes stone, placed over the floors.Eskimo relied on sea mammals for food,illumination,cooking oil and weapons. In order to find those animals, it was necessary for the Eskimos to live a wandering life, following their migrations. Generally, they would have a summer home and a winter home. Tents made of skin (seal or caribou) provided shelter during the summer months. In winter, most of them built
sod houses. A dome-shaped snow house was built by some groups as temporary shelter when traveling or hunting. This would consist of blocks cut from the snow and built upward in a spiral shape. Outsiders would call this an "igloo," although to the Eskimo any place for living can be called by that name.

What kind of clothing do Inuits wear?
nowdays when the Inuit are not hunting most of them prefer to wear jeans and ski jackets... but when they go hunting the weather is colder and they prefer to wear their old style furs these are really warm because they trap heat between two layers of fur. i hope that answered ur question..
Eskimos ate a large variety of sea animals such as Whale, herring, and seal. They would eat the skin and freeze it for later use, or bake it in herbs to add flavor. They also ate carribou, fox (when available) and a large variety of Alaskan birds. Of course today you might see them enjoying the fare at a McDonalds or a Taco Bell or having an Eskimo Pie at the local 7-Eleven.
Are the Inuit tribe still around?
Yes and no. When the term Indian is used to mean North American Aboriginals then yes but generally when the term Indian is used it refers to North American Aboriginals not living in the Arctic.
