What type of landforms did the Inuit Indians live on?
As they lived in the Arctic, conditions were very severe there. The section near the ocean is very flat, but there are also mountains that are formed by folding which are persently covered by glaciers. There are little vegetation growing in the area because of the climate; small lichen, shrubs, and mosses are basically the only things that can grow. The Arctice is characterized by permafrost.
How does geography and climate affect you?
Geography and climate can affect me by influencing the type of natural resources available in my area, the opportunities for outdoor activities, and the types of food that can be grown or accessed locally. They can also impact my lifestyle, such as the need for certain clothing and gear, and my overall health and well-being based on the environmental conditions I live in.
How did geography and climate affect the Inuit?
Thank you SO much for not calling them Eskimos because you would be offending them really badly.
I don't know but I guess that the climate effected the Inuits because they couldn't use plants for food since it was so cold and they couldn't grow any plants. Though you probably already figured that out on your own I mean it is really obvious.

Wind-packed snow that is hard and compacted is known as "hard-packed snow." This type of snow is often used for building structures like igloos due to its firm and durable nature. It can be easily cut and stacked to create sturdy walls and roofs.
How do Eskimos travel on the snow?
Eskimos traditionally travel on the snow using dog sleds or snowmobiles. Dog sleds are pulled by a team of strong huskies, while snowmobiles are motorized vehicles that can traverse snowy terrain more quickly. Both methods are essential for transportation in the Arctic regions where snow covers the ground for much of the year.

What is a food source for lysine?
LYSINE, an essential amino acid, insures your body absorbs the right amount of calcium. It also helps form collagen used in your bone cartilage and connective tissues. Lysine aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Recent studies have shown lysine improves the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth.
The human body is capable of manufacturing only 12 of the 20 different amino acids needed to build proteins used to grow, repair, and maintain cells. The other eight are known as essential amino acids because since the body cannot manufacture them, they must come from a person's diet,usually red meat or dairy products. Moringa is one of very few plants that contain all eight essential amino acids.
AnswerAll proteins are not a high source of lysine. While there are 8 essential amino acids lysine is one of three "limiting proteins". These three are called limiting amino acids, because if a person's diet is deficient in one of them, this will limit the usefulness of the others, even if those others are present in otherwise large enough quantities. The three limiting amino acids include the sulfur-containing ones (methionine and cysteine), tryptophan, and lysine. If you do not consume meat it can be especially hard to find, even more so for vegans. Complete proteins include meat, soy, quinoa, and moringa. Lysine is found in eggs, cheese and milk. It is also found in seaweed, spirulina, cottonseed oil, Apples, apricots, grapes, papayas, pears, alfalfa, beets, carrots, celery, cucumber, dandelion greens, parsley, spinach, turnip greens. Eating lots of nuts as well as taking a nutritional supplement doesn't hurt.

Fat from marine animals was a significant component of their diet due to the high energy demands of living in a cold environment.
What is the total bird population of the world?

The Isabelle coat owes its name to?
Isabelle-the-Catholic, having pledged in the 1491 Grenada siege,
not to change her shirt until the end of the seige, hence the "dirty" color
The Isabelle coat owes its name to the Queen Victoria "Isabelle" of England. The coat was a speical tribute to her designed by Alexander Mounteria who also was one of the queens twelve suitors.
The Inuit traditionally used tools like harpoons and fishing spears to catch fish in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. They also used traps made of stones and nets made of sinew or grass to catch fish. Ice fishing was common during the winter months, where they would cut holes in the ice and use tools to catch fish beneath.
Uganda is an agricultural country (subsistence farming) in fact agriculture accounts for 90% of the population. Uganda has a population of about 23 million people out of which 15 million are women. Subsistence farming is mainly carried out in rural areas of the country on small family plots of land by the rural women (land tittles are in the names of their husbands). We normally refer to them as the basket winners or food producing computers. We call them the silent heroes whose efforts to look after the families have not been recognized at all yet in cultivating food they save lives and change lives! The little that they grow is put to home consumption and if there is any surplus at all it goes to the market to earn a little money in order for the women to be able to purchase other basics like salt, paraffin and also to take care of the children's numerous needs.
In Africa, Uganda was one of those countries that were hit hard by HIV/IADS since the early 80s. Since then the government came up with an openness policy to fight the pandemic. All stake holders have since worked together as a team these included; the government, NGOs, CBOs, Faith Based Organizations, individuals etc. Indeed since then success has been registered in terms of aw in Uganda still faces a lot of problems which have been made worse by this pandemic. She is torn between being player of so many roles and grappling emotionally and physically with the HIV/AIDS dilemma.
The women in Uganda, due cultural tendencies have not had a choice to stay alive. The African culture which gives men liberty to have more than one partner, men can wed in church but at the same time the Ugandan constitution allows traditional /cultural marriages meaning that having more than one wife is normal and not condemned.Secondly for the Moslem men, even where they cannot manage looking after the family, they continue to marry up to four women because the Koran allows it . This culture which empowers men to have as many partners as they can also empowers them to produce as many children as they want and in most cases they do not take care of them it is the women who will make sure that they eat, dress, get education and medication. It should be noted that in African culture and in particular Uganda many children and many wives are seen as a source of power and respect and thus even family planning is seen as an insult to the rural man. The women normally go secretly to the family planning centers and if they are unlucky and the husband finds out, then hell breaks loose, the man marries another woman who is willing to deliver more children and the women are afraid of that.
The above situation has lead to the death of so many innocent rural women due to HIV/AIDS whose orphaned children have been taken care of by their grand parents who are very old to do the digging in order to give them food and as a result the children have taken to the streets as baggers (street children)
Those women who have been fortunate to stay alive , most of whom are weak with lack of retroviral have had to stay on and till the land in order to look after their children and in most cases their husbands . Even in situations where women get to know their status, the men will still continue asking them for sex and refusal is taboo as punishments can be unlashed on them by their husbands. Such punishments include abandoning of the woman and her children, marrying other women or chasing them away from their homes.
In rural Uganda, the women work from dawn to sunset yet what they harvest cannot even allow them to have more than one meal a day, normally they have the evening meal of the day which is not even balanced because all the good food and vegetable that they grow, they have to sell to buy essentials. Their children go malnourished and as such even when the children go to school they are never attentive because the bodies are too weak.
The situation has been worse in the war torn areas of Northern Uganda, where the rebels of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) have been very brutal to the rural women and the children. . Where women in the Internally Displaced Camps (IDP) have had to take up their role as the basket winners, look after the family and at the same time bear the abuse of a husband who will still take on another wife even under such situations. Women have contracted HIV/Aids both from their husbands and from being raped by the rebels. The women have been traumatized but life has to go on. Currently the government has tries to take families back to their homes so that they can lead normal lives but for the rural woman normal life means toiling away on the land from morning till when the cows come home (evening)
There is an urgent need to carefully re examine the fruitless , over burdened roles of the rural woman who is currently playing the roles of ; a miserable mother , a miserable cultivator/ bread winner ,a miserable wife without rights to a role of a proud mother , a knowledgeable wife who knows her rights, a meaningful income contributor and a saver.
This new product of a woman will go a long way in improving her life, that of her children the family and the community in general with self esteem and confidence.
Some charity organizations like the one I represent (Foundation for women and youth in development) FOWAYODE have thought of the following to help improve the lives of the rural women-
-First and fore most to sensitize them about their rights and build confidence in them in order for them to be able to face upcoming challenges
-we should come up with small income generating activities for the rural women on top of agriculture in order to subsides their income. These would include: poultry, piggery, goat rearing, snack making, tailoring, weaving, baking etc.
-sensitizing and encouraging the women to go for testing of HIV/AIDS in order for them to know their status
-sensitizing them on simple accounting skills and a saving culture. Encourage them to pull the little resources they have by saving it through the micro finance institutions in their localities.. When the savings have grown they can trade together as a group for example buying maize seeds and selling them to the World food programme and other buyer's etc
-
There is so much to be done to help the rural woman who is so disadvantaged because of the backward cultural tendencies and primitive agricultural methods which have been aggravated with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We believe that a woman is the history, the present, the future and the backbone of any nation since they give birth to children, they nurture them and see them grow into citizens who take up roles for a nation's development and for that programmes should be formulated to protect them and also improve their lives for they have so many hats (mothers, wives and bread earners.)
Why do Inuits not live in the south pole?
Innuits live in the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. The South Pole is on Antarctica at the opposite end of the earth.
Antarctica is too cold -- about 30 degrees F colder than in the north -- to support any kind of life.
