Inuit

First graders are now studying their final tribe, the Inuit of the arctic.  We have learned that while some people call these Native Americans “Eskimos,” they prefer the name Inuit.  Members of this tribe wore special clothing to keep them warm and dry including parkas, mittens, and boots called kamiks.  Unable to grow crops, the Inuit subsided on seal, walrus, whale, fish, polar bear, and caribou.  They lived in houses called igloos or igluviaks.  Because the Inuit spent much of their time inside, they often told stories, sang songs, carved soapstone, and played string games.
