Inuit women were responsible for sewing, cooking, and raising the children. The men provided food by hunting and fishing. The Inuit had no formal marriage ceremony or ritual.

Art and society are closely linked together. From the point of view of the social history of art, the artwork is a product of a kind of social relation. Inuit culture is an important part of Canadian culture, but there has a big difference between Arctic and other regions. According to Culler, “what is crucial is not any particular form or content, but differences, which enable it so signify” (Culler, 1997, p58). It unique geographical environment and humanity history background has formed unique traditional region characteristic. This essay will discuss how Inuit artist Pitaloosie Saila through art to makes a continuation of Inui culture, and how historical and personal experiences makes her unique highly personal style.

Collectively, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples constitute Aboriginal peoples in Canada, Indigenous peoples of the Americas, or first peoples. "First Nations"' came into common usage in the 1980s to replace the term "Indian band" in referring to groups of Indians with common government and

The Inuit have a Bladder Feast, which is a act of respect for the seals they catch during the year (Institution and Smithsonian). Lots of the Inuit culture is about them giving respect to the animals they kill and they use every part of that animal. The Inuit would hunt animals like bison, whales, fish, and arctic bears. The Inuit people have mastered the skills of survival in the arctic region. They use many tools in order to hunt. They use spears for catching whales and they hunt in groups on land. Over the years they have improved their ways of hunting and building their

Would you ever want to live in a cold, harsh environment and still have to live for over a decade. Well that's what the people of the Cree and Inuit had to do. In this Essay you will learn special things that the Cree and Inuit have in common and different things about them. They are the differences in population and territory control, also the similarities in language.

The Inuit and Cree are different in numerous ways, but language is a massive one. Inuit speak different languages like Inuktitut, Inupiaq, Kalaallisut, and etc. They speak languages I can barely pronounce! Cree on the other hand, speak languages you might know like English, and French. They also speak the native Cree language. Cree and Inuit speak different languages, VERY different languages, that is.

Inuit Identity is a complex and ultimately impossible to narrow into one specific idea. Inuit culture, like any culture, is varied and changes constantly. However, it is possible to observe some of the complexities of Inuit culture through the development of Inuit Art. Sculptures and carvings have been a major part of Inuit art, and have been intertwined with ideas of Inuit Identity. Therefore, Contemporary Inuit Sculpture is demonstrative of Inuit Culture. Sculpture developed from the Inuit’s first contact with Quallunaat artists, it feature scenes of everyday life, has a distinct style in each region and has evolved with time and influence.

The challenges that the Inuit people face are that they have a chance of crushing, their ships when they go whale hunting because of the icebergs. A challenge that the Haida people have is that they are chopping the trees down they can be crushed. Another challenge that the Inuit have people face is that if they don’t get warm then they can freeze to death. Sometimes they face not even having food because it goes away from both tribes. Another thing for the Inuit people is that they can get their boat sank because of big walrice. Also they have to get it before it goes underwater or else we are doomed because they have no food.

2.The Inuit have needed to understand the natural patterns of Arctic wildlife. They have to know so they can be able to get food. 38:07 minutes in the video it say “It’s a great spot. Surely there are karabos around here because there's plenty of food for karabos over there.” The Inuit have to understand the natural patterns of Arctic because if they don’t then they can’t find food for their tribe.

The Inuit developed a way of life well-suited to their Arctic environment, based on fishing; hunting seals, whales, and walruses in the ocean; and hunting caribou, polar bears, and other game on land. They lived in tents or travelled in skin-covered boats called kayaks and umiaks in summer, and stayed in

When studying the Inuit, Pamela Stern and Lisa Stevenson learned about their culture and how it intertwined with the rest of Canada. They learned the Inuit have a closely-knit social system that people often rely on in times of unemployment or hardship. She also experienced seeing Inuit work in a labor-intensive job, gathering materials for basket making and found politically the Inuit aim to self-govern. In their government they have created a wide variety of programs to try and promote tradition and culture such as education programs that teach Inuit culture and language (Stern, 2006).

Nanook of the North (Robert J. Flaherty, 1922) is a silent docudrama that was released to demonstrate the way that the Inuit people live in day to day life. To a person in the western world in the 1920’s they would believe that this is how they live, dress and how they survive in day to day situations. In fact, what Flaherty filmed, was scripted and the Inuit family we follow were not actually family. Flaherty also decided to have the Inuit people dressed as they would previously in history, where as they were dressing like western world civilisation in the 1920’s. This could have been due to wanting to make the Inuit’s come across as a new and exotic civilisation, compared to the “ordinary” people.

The geography of the Inuits affected their culture by first, food. For example, the economic activity map affected how they got their food. Alaska and some of Canada is listed for using their land for hunting and gathering. Hunting and Gathering has two parts, the hunting which kills the animal or any other mammal; and the gathering which creates food for the people/person. The Inuits got their food, by hunting and gathering. The Inuits lived by an sea, Bering Sea which is on the Physical Features Map of Canada and Alaska, which was the main food source for Inuits. A lot of fish, whale, and different types of mammals were the things that the Inuits ate. The Geography and Physical Features of where the Inuits got their main food source. On

The word Eskimo comes from an Algonquian language and means eater of raw meat. The Eskimo, now known as the Inuit, hunted sea mammals and land mammals. Among the animals they hunted were seal, whale, oxen, caribou, and polar bear. They also fished for arctic char. It was rare that they would have enough fuel to cook the meat, so sometimes they preserved the meat by drying it. “However, most of the meat was eaten raw.” (Findlay.) The Inuit like most Indigenous peoples believed that all living and nonliving things had a spirit, this belief is called animism. “The only people who had enough power to control the spirits were the powerful religious leaders called the Shamans or 'Angakoks'. Shamans used charms and dances as a means to communicate with the spirit world.”(Findlay.) One of the major spirits in Inuit culture is Sedna. Sedna is known as the Goddess of the Sea. “The belief was that if Inuit made her happy, she would continue to provide them with food.”(Findlay.) If they kept the spirits happy, the spirits would keep them happy. So,
