The first place that is important to the Inuit is Nunavut. Nunavut was founded in 1999 by the Canadian. You might be asking why this place is important and the answer is this, Nunavut was founded by the Canadian as a reservation for the Inuit to live. The Canadian believed that native tradition should return to their land, therefore making this reservation for the Inuit people. They also built this as a place to keep the Inuit away from European influence.

Inuit tribes hunted and fished. They were nomadic, which meant that they had little to no time to farm. Some of the mammals that they hunted were caribou, muskoxen, and seals. They also hunted tinier animals like birds and hares. They fished fish like salmon and whitefish. In the Summer, they picked berries.

Most of the Inuit clothing was made from the animal remains that they hunted. The Inuit used walrus or seal intestine in order to make water-proof clothing. The Inuit also had parkas made of caribou fur. Canada even did a study that showed that the caribou parkas were the warmest clothes used.

The Inuit started in Alaska and migrated out to Northern Canada and Greenland about 1000 years ago.  One of their ancient cities was later found in Greenland, proving that the Inuit spread out a lot. The Inuits who spread out are called the Thule Inuits. This is a basic map of the migration of the Inuits.

The Inuit lived in the Arctic region which is a cold, flat and treeless region. The Aleut tribe also lived in the Arctic, they were located within the same area. Another tribe named the Yupik lived in this area as well. Some common features in Alaska and Canada are, the Arctic Coastal plain and volcanoes. Parts of Canada have been influenced by the Inuit and many parts of Northern Canada have the Thule culture. No other state in America holds such a broad range of Native cultures as Alaska. Some religions in this are include Eyak, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian. The Aleuts who were also located in this area had a culture called Unangan.

The Inuit culture is named Thule, after the place in Greenland where archaeologist first identified it. Another place that was important to the Inuit was Russia, this is because they have close relatives that come from Russia. The origins of the Inuit lie in Alaska on the seacoast and tundra. All of these places are important to the Inuit as they were traveling. They either originated there or it was one of the places that they stopped.

Here is a picture of Thule, Greenland. This is where archaeologists first found the culture of the Inuit. They then named the culture Thule because of that reason.

The common thought of an Inuit home might be an igloo, but that isn't always their main housing option. Igloos were only used for temporary housing on hunting trips. They also had different homes depending on the season. In the Winter, Inuits would make sod houses. Sod houses were dug out houses with walls made of rock and sod. Then, they would place whale bone to shape the roof and cover that in sod. Summer houses were less complex. Summer houses were tents that were made from caribou hide and wood frames. Since the Inuit were nomadic, they had to make houses that were easy to build up and take down.
