Inuit Culture
materials that have to be imported, in the past Inuit would migrate between a summer and winter
camp which was shared by several families.
Getting Around
To travel from one place to another, Inuit used sleds made of animal bones and skins pulled over
the snow and ice by dogs. Strong dogs with thick fur like huskies, bred by Inuit, were used. On
the waters of the Arctic Ocean, small boats called "kayaks" were used for hunting while larger
boats called "umiaq" transported people, dogs, and supplies.
Finding Food
Because Inuit live in places where most plants cannot grow, the traditional diet consisted of
almost entirely meat. Inuit fished and hunted to get their food. Whales, walruses, seals, fish were
staples of their diet.
Clothing for Staying Warm
Traditional Inuit clothing was
made from animal skins and
fur. Boots were also made from animal skins. Large, thick coats with big hoods called "parkas"
were worn as an outer layer
