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.

What clothing did the Wintu tribe wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Kumeyaay tribe of San Diego and Baja wore very little clothing since the region was warm most months of the year. Usually just a breech cloth and sandals. They did wear animal skin in colder months. They used the fibers of the yucca reed to make sandals. It was also common for them to be barefoot.

What might have drawn the first Americans to North America?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians." They walked across dry land from Asia. The great ice age lowered the water of the Bering strait and created a new land, Beringia. Beringia is generally thought to have been a flat plain, dry and dusty. It did support plant and animal life.

Once in the Americas, they found the passage south blocked. The ice sheets from the Rockies had merged with the ones from the Hudson Bay region. An important part about the Bering land bridge was that when it existed, the ice blocked the way to what would be the United States. When the ice melted, the land bridge disappeared, but the way south was open.

The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish. The British tried to establish a settlement in Virginia, known as Roanake, Virginia, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The Jamestown colony in 1607 was the first permanent British colony in North America.

Why did the Native American groups settle where they did?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Native Americans settled in thousands of places, but why? we think that they settled where they did because of the type of landscaping and environment they looked for. but also because of where there ancestors settled. tracing back to why there ancestors settled there hasne been finished, but to make an educated guess (or using your common sence) they did for the animals and to settle there tribe and make it a land mark for there generation of living.

How many Native American tribes are in the Arctic region?

User Avatar

Asked by Moreelois

The main people in the farthest north of what is now the arctic regions of the US and Canada are the Inuit (Iñupiat, Aleut and Yupik) related peoples from the Bering Sea to Greenland. There are about 120,000 today. They are thought to have arrived in the area starting in the 1000s. South of them in the western side, and often in conflict with them, are the many different Dene' peoples who speak Northern Athabascan languages (31 different ones). Inland Tlingit live to the north too and they are to be in the larger family with the Dene. There are also Cree and Innu and others who are a Algonquian-speaking peoples. They are to the south and east.

There are many didfernt mays to count how many tribes., so the anwser as to numbers is difficult. There are modern first nation and United Staes tribal organizations, there are linguistic and enthic groupings and relationships and the people have shifted over time. There are about 1.3 million people of native descent in Canada, most in the arctic and subarctic and about 100,000 in Alaska.

What do Welsh People look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a range of appearances among the Welsh with some resembling 'Iberian' people (Catherine Zeta Jones, Stanley Baker, John Rhys-Davies, Ioan Gruffudd) and others of a more north European type (Rhydian Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Catherine Jenkins). And everything in between (Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins).

The presence of dark hair and eyes among some Welsh may be due to the Silures,

an ancient tribe of south Wales. The Romans described them as resembling the people of Spain. There are large numbers of people with dark hair and light eyes as is the case in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.

The Inuit people are still alive and some people may call them Eskimos. The Inuit people have a God called Tunghat who controls all of the animals. The main jobs that the Inuit people do is a hunter or a fisherman. The Inuit people have houses made of stone and earth but sometimes they have temporary houses called Igloos. These are made out of snow and ice.
