Detailed explanation-1: -Being that the Inuit live in Alaska, Denmark, Greenland, and northern Canada, the climate is best described as arctic.
Detailed explanation-2: -With the impacts of global warming, Inuit have recorded rain lasting into the early winter season, something their warm clothing is not adapted to. Furthermore, impacts of global warming on traditional food sources directly affect the availability of fur and leather.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Inuit needed thick and warm clothing to survive the cold weather. They used animal skins and furs to stay warm. They made shirts, pants, boots, hats, and big jackets called anoraks from caribou and seal skin. They would line their clothes with furs from animals like polar bears, rabbits, and foxes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Housing As a semi-nomadic people, Inuit built camps that changed with the seasons. In summer, they generally lived in tents made from bone, driftwood, and animal hides. In winter, they constructed igloos, or ice houses, which protected them from the Arctic winds and required a lot of skill to build.
