Inuit (Eskimos) and related Aleuts of the Arctic Region differed from
other North American aboriginals in appearance, language, and culture.
The Inuit pursued a surprisingly uniform life-style across the entire
continent. Through ingenuity and adaptability, they managed to survive
in one of earth's harshest environments.
The Central Inuit lived in small bands, moving seasonally to fish and
to hunt sea mammals or caribou; Inland Inuit depended almost entirely
on caribou. The Copper Inuit differed only from neighboring Arctic
peoples by their use of metal tools.
