  1. INUIT NATIVE AMERICANS BY REGAN, ILENE AND ALECXIS

  2. CLIMATE The Inuit tribe had a very cold/freezing and a hot/sweaty climate. You will most likely find them in Alaska, Canada, Siberia or Greenland ( where it is cold.) You will rarely find them somewhere in a hot climate hunting for food.

  3. DIET The Inuit Tribe ate seafood and wildlife for their diet. They fished and hunted to get their food.The seafood they ate were narwhals, fish, seals, walrus, whales, kelp, whale skins, killer whales and much more seafood. In the wildlife they ate antelope, moose, berries and many other wildlife.

  4. CLOTHING They wore different styles of clothes depending on the climate. When they traveled to the more coldish climate they wore more heaver clothing like thick, warm fur coats or anything that is heavy animal skins. In the more hotter climate (which you will rarely find them) you will see them in a t-shirt with shorts/pants, a hat and boots and big jackets.

  5. HOW TO HUNT The Inuit’s hunted for food, for clothing and anything else they wanted to use the skin for. As long as their food was healthy they would hunt anything. To start it off they would all gather in to 2 groups which is 20 people on each boat. After that they went in to the armed boat with air to the harpoons. Next they would attach a number of seal skin filled with air to the harpoons. Then it dies. Finally, they would tie it to the boat and bring it to shore.

  6. TRANSPORTATION Since they lived in a harsh climate they had to use different ways to travel. When they were in the more coldish climate, they would sometimes travel on sleds made out of wood and whale bones. If they travel longer distances they would use the sled and place sled dogs, dogs or wolves in front to make it move. In the more hotter climate, near rivers, they would travel in kayaks and something they call umiaqs.

  7. LIVING To make their home they would use wood, mud, ice, snow animal skins, driftwood, whalebones, caribou, sealskins and many moreuseful items. Their winter home is called anIglooand their summerhouse is called Sod House.
