Synopsis
This introductory guide explains the rich cultural traditions and everyday lives of the Eskimo and Inuit peoples. Day to day survival in the Arctic is covered in vivid illustrations, which depict and detail scenes such as the building of igloos and the hunting of seals, fish and even polar bears. The distinctive Inuit animal fur clothing and their manufacture, plus recreation and games played upon the snowy wastes are also detailed. Little-known facts about clever inventions created by the Inuit tribes are mentioned, such as shoes for their hunting dogs, handcrafted goggles which protect against the freezing weather, and fur linings for their iconic igloo snow houses. This book's also covers the survival methods the Eskimos and Inuits use to thrive upon their habitat. Answers are given about how different communities adjust to the unusual day and night cycles plus the many dangers inherent to the Arctic such as the freezing weather and dangerous polar bears. Spread across Greenland, Canada, Russia and other territories, the process by which the tribes came to trade with peoples from afar, and were introduced to cultures staggeringly different from their own, is also mentioned. Suitable for children and adults, and written in a simple yet comprehensive style by cultural anthropologist Sarah Byers, this wonderful guide will introduce and impress upon you the fascinating importance of the Eskimo and Inuit peoples.
