Selle nimetuse otsustas 1977. a kasutusele võtta inuittide rahvusvaheline organisatsioon Inuit Circumpolar Conference kõigi eskimote kohta, kuid eesti keeles soovitatakse inuittideks nimetada ainult lääneeskimoid. 1991. aasta hinnangul oli inuitte Kanadas 31 000 ja Gröönimaal 47 000. 2000. aasta hinnangul oli inuitte Kanadas 45 000 ja Gröönimaal 50 000. Inuitid kõnelevad inuiti keeli. Inuittide esivanemad on tulnud Ameerikasse Beringi väina saarte kaudu Aasiast, nad on elanud Põhja-Ameerika rannikul, püüdes mereimetajaid ning küttides maismaal. Nad elavad laialipillatult suhteliselt väikeste kogukondadena, mis on muu hulgas erinevate looduslike tingimuste tõttu kultuuriliselt erinevad, kuid paljude ühisjoontega. Inuiti...

Located in Arctic Ocean Also known as Grønland Kalaallit Nunaat Population 60,324 (2000 Estimate) Total area 2,175,600 square kilometres Greenland, a selfgoverning dependency of Denmark, is the largest island in the world. Greenland consists of an interior icecovered plateau surrounded by a mountainous, generally icefree rim. The interior ice cap is thickest near the centre of the island, where the maximum depth is estimated to be about 3,353 metres (11,000 feet). Underneath the ice cover are the ancient rocks of the Greenland Shield, which is geologically related to the Canadian Shield. Drainage is afforded mainly by the so called ice fjords, in which glaciers from the ice caps pass through valleys to the sea, where they form thousands of icebergs each year. The climate is extremely cold, although the south experiences a short summer. The mammals of Greenland are more American than European and include muskox, wolves, lemmings...

History First people who lived in Canada came by a land bridge from Russia and Greenland. They were the ancestors of nowadays indigenous people of Canada. They just searched better for living places and followed their prey and they didn't even know they were on a different continent. The first explorers were Norse seafarers known as Vikings. As they sailed from Iceland to Greenland in AD 985, they were blown far off their course and they saw the coast what must have been Labrador. The forested areas of Canada's coast encouraged further explorations, because their settlement lacked lumber. They established a colony, what they called Vinland on Newfoundland. It died out during the 14th and 15th centuries. 500 years later Europeans started looking for a waterway to Asia, because travelling with spices over land wasn't very safe anymore. The first explorer was Christopher Kolumbus who reached America's shore in 1492, although he thought it ...
