Inuit

Shelter

The Inuit used tents made of animal

skins or igloos made out of ice

blocks. And since the material of the

tents was animal skin, they could

move around up north and discover

new parts of their land.

Location Inuit

The Inuit was a tribe that lived up north

(Canada, Alaska, and Greenland). They

had very cold weather and a lot of ice.

And because of where they were they

couldn't fish, but they could ice fish.

They also used dog sleds to get around,

and the people also ate certain foods

because of where they lived.

Transportation

Dog sleds were a means of transportation to the

Inuit. They also use kayak that holds one people or umiak

that holds ten or more people.

Inuit transportation

By : Jeffery Keener

Inuit Used the Kayaks Since it was difficult to get food at the time they had

to ration their food. They had access to fish but it was

dangerous to go fishing. They used kayaks to get fish

and seals. The kayaks were effective but dangerous if

they flipped over. The person on will fall into the water

and go into hyperthermia in under five minutes. So they

use wet suits made out of dried seal insides which is

water proof.

Transportation

Kayak’s where one of the first

transportation for the Inuit they use the

kayak for going fishing or going to a

different place by using the water.

They use seal skin to form the outer of

the kayak then tie some rope around

the kayak to hold it together. Another

one of their transportation was dog

sleds. That’s how they got through the

snow it was much easier than walking

through the snow.

Transportation Dog sleds were the main

transportation. They used kayak to

move in the water and hunt in the

water for whales. They have a

large boat called umiaks.

Inuit’s Diet:

The Inuit’s diet is mainly based on

fur-bearing sea mammals. They eat

walrus, seal, salmon, cod, whales, and

caribou. In the summer the Inuit hunt

foxes, hares and polar bears. Their

favorite foods are seal, caribou, walrus

liver, and whale skin. They boil and fry

their food on stones.

Diet of the Inuit The Inuit also know as the eskimo have a rationed diet.

The diet of the Inuit is based mostly on caribou and polar

bears. The Inuit either attack a bear on foot, sled, or water.

The tactic the Inuit use the most is going on sled. What

they do is send to send to dog sleds one is in front and one

behind the polar bear. The one behind chased it while the

other one throws spears at it.They then put the dead

carcass on their sled and take it back to their village.
