They believe that the caribou skin clothing provides protection against extreme cold weather, which featured sets for the Arctic exceeds by some manufacturers substances

There were no significant differences in changes over time between the military and expedition clothing ensembles with either the perception of comfort data or the skin temperature data; therefore, these data are grouped together. Findings indicate that the overall skin temperature, as well as the cheek, thigh, toe, and torso temperatures, remained significantly higher when wearing the caribou skin ensemble compared to changes observed when wearing the military or expedition clothing ensembles."

The inuit tribe - inuit people

this is the full history about inuit tribe , Several thousand years after the first people crossed the Bering Land Bridge into North America, other people came to North America by boats, crossing from Siberia across the Arctic Ocean to Alaska. This was about 7000-5000 BC. Archaeologists call these people the pre-Dorset Culture. They seem to have begun to leave Alaska about 4500 BC, when a warming period melted some of the Arctic ice, and they reached Greenland about 2500 BC. They hunted musk ox and reindeer in the north, and further south they hunted seal and caribou.

History of inuit Tribe 

The North was the last frontier of Canada. Until the Second World War - which had been largely ignored by the rest of Canada , except for very bold and adventurous. Since the mid- 1700s a number of explorers in search of the Northwest Passage West for oil whalers , traders Hudson Bay in search of fox fur and missionaries research souls ventured into the North and met with its inhabitants, the Inuit.

Although these visitors North introduces some new commercial products , especially rifles and tea, snuff and flour , the lifestyle of nomadic Inuit hunters remained relatively untouched by the intruders. In the 1940s most Inuit still lived in camps for small family, sled dogs used to travel, lived in igloos during the winter, and divide their time between capture and hunting of white fox .

All this would change radically in the next two decades. For a variety of political and strategic reasons the Federal Government of Canada began to take an active interest in the welfare of its citizens in the North. In 1939 , a decision of the Supreme Court had granted the same rights to Inuit health , welfare and education as the Indians of Canada. In 1947 , the family allowance checks began issuing administered by the Hudson Bay Company Hudson or the RCMP , followed by pensions in 1948. During the 1,950 annual visits by a government medical research vessels and administered tests for tuberculosis . In 1956 , a program of low-cost housing has been introduced . In 1955 , a selection of the children were sent to Chesterfield Inlet to be taught by the Grey Nuns until, in 1959 , the federal day schools were built in the North. In 1970, completed the process of abandoning a nomadic lifestyle and move into permanent settlements.

One of the reasons why the Canadian government felt compelled to intervene was receiving reports from visitors on North Inuit deteriorating , partly caused by the fact that the price had dropped white fox in the world market . Therefore, the main means of getting cash had dried for hikers Inuit. Although hunters who lived in much of the land that became dependent on money to buy weapons and ammunition. With nothing to exchange , families have experienced hardships and periods of severe famine .

The inuit life

this blog talking about the inuit life has changed significantly over the past century, many traditions continue. Traditional storytelling, mythology, and dancing remain important parts of the culture. Family and community are very important. The Inuktitut language is still spoken in many areas of the Arctic and is common on radio and in television programming.

The Inuit are the aboriginal inhabitants of the North American Arctic, from Bering Strait to East Greenland, a distance of over 6000 kilometres. As well as Arctic Canada, Inuit also live in northern Alaska and Greenland, and have close relatives in Russia. They are united by a common cultural heritage and a common language. Until recently, outsiders called the Inuit "Eskimo." Now they prefer their own term, "Inuit," meaning simply "people." There are about 40,000 Inuit in Canada.

The inuit people life 

According to archaeological research, the origins of the Inuit lie in north-western Alaska. These first Alaskan Inuit lived on the seacoast and tundra, where they hunted seals, walrus, whales, and caribou. They lived in houses made of driftwood and sod, and almost certainly spoke an early version of the Inuit language, Inuktitut. They and their ancestors were the first Arctic people to become expert at hunting the larger sea mammals, such as the bowhead whale. The large volume of food that resulted from a successful hunt—even a small whale could weigh seven tonnes-meant that their way of life was richer and more secure than that of many other hunting people.

this blog is talk about the inuit people and the Traditional Inuit way of life was influenced by the harsh climate and stark landscapes of the Arctic tundra – from beliefs inspired by stories of the aurora to practicalities like homes made of snow. Inuit invented tools, gear, and methods to help them survive in this environment. Read on to learn more about traditional Inuit ways of life, and how Inuit culture has been changed over the past century.

History of The inuit people

The history of those that have occupied Nunavik over the centuries is a reflection of the populations which have inhabited the entire Arctic from Siberia in the west to Greenland in the east. Roughly 4500 years ago, a slow migration began from Alaska. Groups, known today as paleo-eskimo, took 500 years to arrive in Nunavik, occupying the east coast of Hudson Bay as well as different areas of Ungava Bay. Over a period of almost 1500 years, the coasts of the region ensured their survival. Then for unknown reasons approximately 2500 years ago, this population disappeared from Nunavik.

The inuit Homes

Inuit Homes In the tundra, where Inuit communities are found, there are not many building materials. No trees grow in the tundra so houses can not be made from wood unless it is transported from elsewhere. However, during a large part of the year, the cold part, there is a lot of snow in the tundra. And it turns out that snow can be a very good construction material. In the winter, Inuit lived in round houses made from blocks of snow called "igloos". In the summer, when the snow melted, Inuit lived in tent-like huts made of animal skins stretched over a frame. Although most Inuit people today live in the same community year-round, and live in homes built of other construction materials that have to be imported, in the past Inuit would migrate between a summer and winter camp which was shared by several families.
