USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The indigenous peoples of the North American Arctic include the Eskimo (Inuit and Yupik/Yupiit) and Aleut; their traditional languages are in the Eskimo-Aleut family. Many Alaskan groups prefer to be called Native Alaskans rather than Native Americans; Canada’s Arctic peoples generally prefer the referent Inuit.

Detailed explanation-2: -These traditional Inuit foods include arctic char, seal, polar bear and caribou-often consumed raw, frozen or dried. The foods, which are native to the region, are packed with the vitamins and nutrients people need to stay nourished in the harsh winter conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Arctic Culture Area encompasses the coastal and inland areas of the Arctic Circle inhabited by Eskimos and the Aleutian Islands of the Aleut peoples. These two groups, Eskimos and Aleuts, are related groups that probably separated about 1, 000 BCE.

Detailed explanation-4: -Native Americans used different methods to get their food including farming, hunting, fishing and gathering. Most tribes used a combination of these methods, but many specialized in one area such as farming or hunting.
