They are hunter-gathers and still hunt for their food. They build their own shelters as well.

They are called the inuit people.

The Inuit historically used spears primarily for hunting marine mammals, such as seals and whales, as well as for fishing. These spears were often used in conjunction with harpoon heads and were essential for their survival in the Arctic environment. The use of spears dates back thousands of years, reflecting their adaptation to the harsh conditions and reliance on fishing and hunting for sustenance.

The Inuit used mittens primarily to protect their hands from the extreme cold of their Arctic environment. Made from animal skins or fur, these mittens provided insulation and warmth while allowing for some dexterity. Their design often featured a single compartment for all fingers, which helped conserve heat, making them essential for survival during hunting and everyday activities. Additionally, the use of mittens facilitated better grip on tools and equipment, crucial for their subsistence lifestyle.

Iglus, (or igloos) are small shelters made of ice, most famously by the Eskimos. They are built by leaning block of ice together in the shape of a dome with a hole in the top for smoke.

It is much like family life in any other country - there are arguments and happy times and a mix of emotions just like everywhere else.

I think you may need to make the question a bit more specific.

The island is volcanic and in 1961 the volcano became active. Because the island was "claimed" by the British they had an obligation to the people and duly evacuated them to Portsmouth where they lived in army barracks. The life in England was not good for them as they had to find work in unfamiliar factories etc. they caught many diseases because they lacked natural immunity and of course a city is a far cry from island life. 1961 was the early days of nuclear testing and the cold war As such remote islands were valuable as potential testing grounds for nuclear weapons. The British decided to lie to the islanders and tell them that the volcano had totally destroyed the island and thus it would be impossible for them to return. Somehow however, the found out the truth, raised enough money for a boat and returned. Out of interest the islanders are all direct descendants of seven shipwrecked sailors who decided to stay, they managed to send word that they needed seven wives and these where duly delivered. The 1961 evacuees all had the original seven surnames, I hate to think of the effects of such close interbreeding. The same problems arose of course on Pitcairn island, the original home of the mutiny on the bounty

Inukshuks are emblems of Canada's northern natives. They are used as path markers.

They were suspicious that such a thing could exist.

nunavut , northwest territories and the arctic

Yes

yes, such as sedna

Eskimo was given to Inupiaq Natives from the more southern natives, Indians which basically meant "Eaters Of Raw Meat"(this was the most common meaning I have come across) so they prefer Inuit(The name Inuit refers to the natives of Canada, who prefer Inuit which means people in their dialect). Here in Alaska they are usually referred as Inupiaq or Yupik(this sub category of Inupiaq has a smaller branch called C'upik and as well as Siberian Yupiks who are from Russia). Each fork in itself has its own dialect and each region of Alaska alone have different dialect. I.E. My village had it's own while the other village north and west of here have their own dialect. They are different however does not make it impossible for speech between each different dialect. The reason for the initial Nickname "Eskimo" is known to be bad was because Inupiaq and Indians were forever at war with each other early in the 1900's and earlier, and rarely had friendly encounters, or so goes from what my dad has said which was shared by his dad. Uva una aglaun. Which when roughly translated means "Here is pencil" in a dialect from a village near mine. I do not know much about Yupiks as I am only Inupiaq from north western Alaska.

Sorry I heavily edited the last post due to huge typos as well as being hugely incorrect in context.

Inuit traditionally built homes called igloos, which are dome-shaped structures made from blocks of compressed snow, providing insulation against the harsh Arctic climate. During warmer months, they often constructed tents made of animal skins or used sod houses. These homes were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many Inuit groups as they followed migratory patterns of game. Modern Inuit may also live in contemporary houses, but traditional building techniques still hold cultural significance.

The Inuit primarily inhabit regions in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska (USA). They are indigenous peoples known for their unique cultures and traditional lifestyles adapted to Arctic environments. In Canada, Inuit communities are particularly concentrated in the northern territories, such as Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and parts of Quebec and Labrador.

It's a traditional greeting. -
