USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Inuit hunted animals on land and fished through holes in the ice. The Haida hunted in the nearby forests and mountains, fished in the oceans and rivers, gathered berries and shellfish as well as other things, and harpooned large sea mammals such as sea lions and seals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Traditionally, they fished using their hands, weirs and three-pronged fishing spears. Harpoons and spears were important items in the fishing arsenal of the Inuit. Harpoons have a detachable projectile head fastened to a hand-held line.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inuit usually hunt juvenile whales, because they are easier to hunt and have a tastier skin. They fish sculpin, Arctic cod, Arctic char, capelin, and lake trout. They also hunt for eating land mammals such as caribou, polar bear, muskox, and birds, but they also eat eggs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Inuit (Eskimos) have eaten a high-protein, high-fat diet consisting mainly of marine mammals such as seals and walrus, some meat (caribou), and lots of fish (Bang, Dyerberg, & Sinclair, 1980).
