How did the inuit people cook?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main Inuit diet consisted of meat and fat. It was typically eaten on the spot after the hunt, in order to warm those who hunted it, but the meat would soon be frozen and would be eaten throughout the day (they typically ate not for community or recreation, but sustenance alone). Surprisingly, many vitamins and fiber humans typically get from vegetables and grains were found by the Inuit people in different organs of fish and seals.

Despite the large amount of meat and fat in the Inuit diet, they also ate some vegetables, but never cultivated. They would forage what could be found (natural tubers, roots, seaweed, etc.) and preserve it by freezing or drying to eat later, usually as a snack rather than a full meal.

What clothes do penitents wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Hindu mythology he should not wear any thing just naked living brings him/her the expected results. Naga sadhus live like that in India.

as a short story goes like a penitent wore a small cloth around his groin

daily he use to change this piece of cloth and wahs it and dried in the shade

a rat/mouse made holes in the cloth so he brought a ct to keep the rat/mouse away.Cat need milk he brought a cow to feed the cat. Now cow to be fed with grass and a helping hand needed in the form of woman to

look after cow/cat etc. The woman need a man to look after her needs. A good family to feed and this penitent woke from his troubles and discarded his loin cloth which caused this . Did we need cloths Yes to guard our body

from weather. If we are in search of total submission to god by soul then we have to discard this mortal body. Then no need to clothes.

Hope am clear. If people do not agree wear white loose robes which will not irritate while u are meditating

meaning of penitent=feeling or expressing remorse for one's misdeeds or sins. n.

  1. One who is penitent.
  2. A person performing penance under the direction of a confessor.

How did the eskimos find food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We usually (find) buy food in stores. But there are various techniques way to hunt animals, like waiting for a seal to pop out of their breathing hole on ice, and spear it when it appears, this method is very time consuming and requires a lot of patience. Or hunting on kayaks with spears, for like seals and other animals. But this way of living is exclusively for the extreme traditional INUIT, and I assure you that we are very modern nowadays.

What weapons did the Northwest coast native peoples use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most common weapons of Northwest coast natives were spears (long "outdoor" and short "indoor" varieties), bows (short & simple, probably 35-45 lb. draw weight), double-ended daggers (pointy on both ends, made of wood, whalebone, or rare copper), "slave killers" (stone hand mauls with a 4-sided point designed to penetrate skulls), and clubs (often made of wood, stone, or antler). They also had a special type of canoe paddle used in warfare, made of hardwood & carved with a point on the end that could be used as a weapon in a pinch. Later on, the natives traded with whites for iron knives & muskets.

They also wore armor: For the head, they would hollow out a knot from a type of spruce wood that does not split & fashion it into a helmet. These helmets were tall, made with a small hollow space on top to give them a place to put their hair which they would coil into a bun. The helmets were usually carved to imitate the faces of animals or spirits. Over their faces they would wear wood that had been steam-bent to fit around the front & sides of their head, which they would hold up against the brim of the helmet by a mouth bit. They would see through a small gap between the helmet and face guard. Over their body they would wear thick bear or sea lion hide, or wood slats that were laced together into a kind of corset, or a leather tunic that had 3-4 layers of gravel that was attached with fish glue.

What does the Inuit environment look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Life for the Inuit people was hard, to say the least. The work that needed to be done for the village, such as igloo construction and protection from Wolves and Polar bears had to be accomplished in extremely cold weather, with limited sunlight.

Fishing on the sea or seal hunting was optimally a group effort, but some things had to be done alone.

Nearby rivers supplied fresh drinking, bathing, and water for cooking.

While the classic silent 1922 film Nanook of the Northwas not entirely factual, it DID portray igloo building, and fishing and hunting methods accurately.

It is truly a "must-see" adventure film regarding the Inuit, First People.

There generally wasn't too much trouble in Inuit tribes. But if something did happen of that nature, the elders would come together with the village leaders and they would decide what a suitable punishment would be.

Where do they bury dead Eskimos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Thule (ancestors of the present Inuit) and the Inuit (Eskimo) burial practices were:

The dead were cleaned (washed) and hair was dressed; women hair was braided. The body was then wrapped in a blanket or animal skin and then laid out far in the tundra face up and covered with stones.

Some tribes attempted to bury them in shallow graves, during cold months the bodies were kept in a hut far from the village (preserved because of the cold) until the weather warmed where the ground could be dug.

It is also interesting to note that the Aurora Borealis was believed to be visual signals from the dead, or ghosts, tradition stated that you blew air against your hands to push away these supernatural beings. Children were often given the names of a recently deceased person to 'appease' these ghosts.
