  1. The Inuit TribeCreated by Amanda Broadnax 2011

  2. Location *located in the Arctic *Their tribe stretches from Alaska and the islands of the Bering Sea, across Canada to the coast of Greenland, and the tip of Russia *They live along the sea

  3. Geography and Climate *For most of the year the land is covered in snow and the seas are frozen *This land is considered snow-covered plains, Grasslands (tundra), and some forests *The land is frozen except for 3 months of the year. Spring arrives in March and April. By May, the snow melts but by October, the first heavy snowfalls begin. *Temperatures can fall to 50 degrees below zero

  4. plants • The land is not suitable for farming because it is frozen. • The Inuit did not grow crops because it was too cold. • The Inuit hunted, fished, trapped, and gathered berries

  5. Animals • The Inuit relied on hunting and fishing for food. • From the sea, they hunted seals, whales, and fished using harpoons. • From the land, they hunted caribou and polar bears. • Much of what they ate was raw. • Oil from sea mammals, especially whales, gave the Inuit fuel for cooking and for oil lamps. • Tools were made from bones.

  6. Clothing • The Inuit used animal skins and fur to make their clothing. • Shirts were made of bird skin. • Pants and coats were made from animal fur. • They wore mittens and boots called kamiks.

  7. Shelter • The Inuit word for house is iglu. • What we call an igloo is an igluviak or snowhouse to them. • Most snowhouses were temporary shelters, used while the Inuit where hunting by the sea. • The snow blocks were cut with a large knife or saw. • In many areas in Canada, children take igloo building lessons. • When they weren’t hunting by the sea, they lived in turf houses.
