The region of Indian cultures referred to as "below Arctic" is primarily the Indian subcontinent, which includes countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. This area is characterized by its diverse cultures, languages, and traditions, reflecting a rich tapestry of historical influences. The term emphasizes the geographical positioning of these cultures in relation to the Arctic region, highlighting their temperate and tropical climates.
The arctic isn't a country. Many countries have territories in the arctic.
Many cultures and groups live in the lands surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Among these are the Eskimo (comprised of the Inuit, Inupiat, Yupik and several other groups), who range from Alaska to Canada and Greenland, the Saami (previously called the Lapps) of Scandinavia, the Nenets of Northwest Russia, the Sakha (Yakut) of Russia and the Chukchi of Siberia.
The term "below Arctic" typically refers to regions in Canada and the northern United States where Indigenous cultures exist outside the harsh Arctic environment. These cultures, such as the Plains, Woodland, and Southeast tribes, have developed distinct ways of life that are influenced by their temperate climates, natural resources, and historical interactions with neighboring groups. The diversity of landscapes—from forests to plains—has shaped their social structures, spiritual beliefs, and subsistence practices. Thus, the label "below Arctic" highlights both geographical and cultural distinctions within Indigenous peoples of North America.
Humans do not typically eat Arctic foxes, as they are not a common source of food. However, in some indigenous cultures in the Arctic regions, Arctic foxes may be hunted for their fur and occasionally consumed as part of traditional diets. The primary use of Arctic foxes is for their pelts rather than for meat. Overall, they are not a significant part of human diets.
