Inuit Northern Native Tribes

The word "Eskimo" is commonly used in Alaska to refer to all Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this name however is considered derogatory in many other places. Given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean "eater of raw meat." Many linguists now believe that the word "Eskimo" is derived from an Ojibwa word meaning "to net snowshoes." However, the people of Canada and Greenland prefer other names. "Inuit," meaning "people," is used in most of Canada, and the language is called "Inuktitut" in eastern Canada although other local designations are used. The Inuit people of Greenland refer to themselves as "Greenlanders" or "Kalaallit" in their language and means "people
If in Canada use the term Inuit as Eskimo is seen as derogatory. Most tribes elsewhere still accept Eskimo, except for those in Greenland, who prefer Greenlanders.

They didnt live in EITHER ONE!!!!! They lived in large houses made of boards of wood. The northeastern woodlands Indians lived in longhouses

well i dont know but im guessing they got what they wanted but they had to do stuff on their own

The word "Eskimo" is no longer acceptable in many areas of the North. While it is still used in Alaska. The Inuit people of Greenland refer to themselves as "Greenlanders" or "Kalaallit". Inuit meaning "people," is used in most of Canada.

Before contact with the U.S. government who established school systems like there are in the rest of America, the women would teach the girls to sew and cook. The men taught the boys to hunt, fish and build. Then they switched, and the women taught the boys to sew and cook. The men taught the girls to hunt, fish, and build.

Well the Inuit people evolved over time, they had no written records of their people.

Yes, inuit do travel in the arctic region by boat, dogsled ,snowmobiles. People go on boat rides/cruises around the arctic region and look at seals and polar bears on their way. They also see some whales while they are there! So this answer is truly 100% true.

The type of homes that the Inuit people built depended on the kinds of materials they could find., the kind of weather they had to shelter from and how often they moved from place to place. Different Inuit groups had different kinds of shelters. Igloo's were temporary shelters while other winter houses were built with stones and covered with sod. The coastal Inuit sometimes built larger homes that were partly dug into the ground and covered by seal skin or sod roofs.

I am pretty sure that Eskimos eat all the time. What would you say if i asked you "Do you eat during summer?". I would hope that your answer would be 'yes'. If not... then I suggest that you go to the doctor, so he can help this condition of yours. Peace!

They are usig cut board from cedar and spruce roots.

they play, they go to school, do their homework, and learntheir ancestors way of life by learning to repect nature, hunt, fish and use ALL the parts of the animals that they hunt, for food and clothing AND NOT FOR SPORT!!

Aama is the Inuit word for mother. If you read the book Julie, it is in there. Happy Reading!

It varies by region and dialect. In northern Alaska, technically the word is Aaka. But, in recent years people have been incorrectly using it for grandmother.

The inuit are an aboriginal people and are located in the Artic and Sub-Artic regions of Siberia and North America.

The Inuit name for the Polar Bear is "Nanuk", meaning "an animal worthy of great respect." While in their poetry, the Inuit word they use for Polar Bear is, "Pihoqahiak", meaning "the ever-wandering one". Additional Spelling; Nannuraluk, and Nanuq.

'Ai' which I think sounds similar to the Canadian 'eh' expression.

The list is long. Cultural manipulation by well meaning visitors have resulted in many socio-economic problems. Interference in traditional lifestyle is among the main problems. Reliance on modern machinery, lack of reliable sources of income and availability of alcohol and drugs plague the society now.

They use dung and sticks to make house and let the sun dry the house rock hard. They also use blood and milk to make a drink high in protein

kayak, igloo, whalebone art, dog sledding, high fat diet for survival

They used ice and snow for their igloos and they used hide (skin) for their animal hide tents. The igloos were used mostly in the winter, but the animal hide tents were mostly used in the summer.

Eskimos use fridges for the same reason others use them - to keep food cold. They heat the inside of their homes as we do and a fridge keeps the food cold.

Fridges do NOT stop food freezing. they remove heat from the items within them and radiate that heat outside the fridge using the radiator at the back.

they only remove heat, to stop something freezing you would have to introduce heat.

The climate in the Arctic where The Inuit lived was very very bitter cold in the winter. Living in the Arctic winter was very challenging. Winter temperatures may drop below -40*C. There is up to 2 meters of snow in the winter! Winter is long and dark in the Arctic. The sun may disappear for weeks in midwinter. Yet summer days can be very warm. Summer is short and full of light, for way up North the sun shines virtually day and night.

The Inuit hunt seals, whales, fish, and polar bears.

Most of their food comes from seals since they are the easiest to catch. They will often find a seal hole and wait for the seal to reappear through the ice for air and will shoot or club them to death.

They hunt whales with canoes and harpoons. They stick the whale with the harpoon and just wait for it to tire then they kill it. Like all northern tribes Inuits don't plant foods.

No. although for Inuit hunters seal meat may be the majority of their diet.

Inuit consume a diet of foods that are fished, hunted, and gathered locally. This may include walrus, ringed seal, bearded seal, beluga whale, polar bear, berries, and fireweed.

Today, however, there has been a decline in hunting and this will eventually force a change in their traditional diet.
