Inuit child; people of the
Arctic

Chief Anotklosh of the Taku Tribe, ca. 1913 ; people of the Northwest Coast
Peoples of the North
• The Inuits live in the Arctic, a land of frozen icy seas and treeless plains.
(left) Here are homes of Inuit living in Indian Point, Siberia in 1897.
(right) This photograph, from around 1899, shows an Inuit summer hut. It is made of animal skins stretched over a frame. Traditionally, Inuit lived in huts like these during the warmer summer months.
• In the winter, many lived in igloos, which are houses of snow and ice.
(right) This picture shows several Inuit constructing an igloo with blocks of snow. Traditionally, Inuit lived in igloos during the coldest months and tent like huts during the warmer months.

This Inuit woman is carrying her baby on her back, the traditional Inuit way to carry a baby. The hoods of women's parkas were made extra large to fit an infant if needed. (1906)
These three little Inuit girls are each carrying a puppy. Dogs were, and continue to be an important part of Inuit life. For example, dogs provided the energy and strength to move sleds across the snow and ice. These little puppies may have grown up to pull a sled! (Nome, Alaska, 1904)
animals - deer, moose, and bear were hunted for their meat and hides
"Spirit of the Sockeye“ (pen & ink / acrylic 11x13) Salmon are very important to the cultures of the Northwest coast tribes and figure prominently in their lives, their history, and their legends. Natives believed the salmon to be a separate people, living beneath the ocean.
• Families held potlatches, or ceremonial dinners, where they showed off their wealth by giving gifts to the guests, such as canoes, animal skins, and jewelry.
• Because there were few trees, the people of the Great Plains made homes out of sod, or thickly matted grass.
Apparently deserted sod house, but in relatively good shape, showing door, two windows and stove pipe. It is built in two sections with two different roof lines. To left in background is a windmill. Kansas, early 1900’s
