The Inuit, an indigenous people living near the Arctic, are authentic yellows.
Thousands of years ago, the last migratory army of mankind set off from Asia across the Bering Strait to the heart of the Americas. Where did they expect that what awaited them ahead was the siege and brutal killing of american Indians. The Inuit fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the Arctic Circle, when it was a cold winter, and the Indians thought that the Inuit would soon be frozen to death, so they stopped pursuing. Who knows, the Inuit miraculously survived in the Arctic, and they created the miracle of human existence.
Despite being from Asia, the Inuit are different from the yellow people of Asia due to their long-term life in the polar environment. They are short and stout in stature, with slender eyes, a wide nose, a curved nose tip, a wide face plate, and thick subcutaneous fat. The stubby figure can withstand the cold, while the small eyes can prevent the strong light reflected by the polar ice and snow from stimulating the eyes. Such physical characteristics give them amazing ability to withstand the cold. But another important reason why Inuit people are hardy and resistant to cold is that they eat high-protein, high-calorie foods every day.
Eskimos who eat raw meat
"Inuit" means "real person" in their language, and they also have a less favorite name called "Eskimos." "Eskimos" is a mocking name given to them by the Indians, meaning "man who eats raw meat."
Inuit did eat raw meat, and they preferred meat that had been preserved for a while and was slightly spoiled, and the Inuit tradition held that cooking meat was a waste of food. In fact, this is also an adaptation to the cold of the Arctic, and people who hunt outside have no hope of making fires everywhere. The inuit's traditional diet is all about meat: fish, seals, walruses and cetaceans from the sea, reindeer, musk oxen, polar bears and some small animals on land.
In order to improve the survival rate of babies, the Inuit people have long relied on collective strength to raise offspring, and over time, they have formed a common view that children are everyone's. Therefore, no matter which family you like, as long as you really want to adopt, the Lord will most likely agree to you taking his child away. If he wants to raise a child, he will go to another house to see it, and he will take it home if he likes it. Therefore, Inuit children often have to grow up after many homes.
Hunt down ocean behemoths
Whales are a necessity for inuit life, but due to declining whale populations, whaling activities in various countries are now severely restricted by the International Whaling Commission (IWC), and the Inuit receive only a certain limit each year to meet their "traditional and survival needs".
The Inuit used a wooden kayak to hunt whales, which could carry only one person, in a style similar to the single kayak used in the modern Olympic Games, which was in fact based on the former. The biggest advantage of this kind of dinghy is that as long as the oars are in, you can always turn the overturned boat over and continue to participate in the battle.
With regard to whales, the Inuit grafted a story from the Bible: God sent a flood to punish human sins, and the Inuit did not hide in Noah's Ark, but drifted with the water in their own canaries. Just as they were about to starve to death, a bowhead whale volunteered to provide them with food. The Inuit survived the storm and were able to land, and every spring the bowhead whales have come to the Arctic to feed the Inuit. The story was widely circulated among the Inuit, so they were full of gratitude for the whales. Because of this, the Inuit performed rituals, prayed, and blessed each of the hunted whales. And this gratitude for the bounty of nature is often indifferent to those of us who are modern.
Northern Canada is inhabited by Inuit and can be seen in Greenland and Alaska. Not tall, with a wide nose and dark and straight hair, the Inuit lived in a very scattered area, with only a few thousand people at the northern end of the SIBERIE and TCHOUKTCHES peninsulas. In Canada, they mainly live in the Nunavut region, which has a population of about 30,000 people. There are more than 60,000 people in the world.
The Inuit did not like to be called "Eskimo" because the phrase came from their enemy, the language of the Indian Algonchin tribe, meaning "man who eats raw meat", and "Inuit" was their self-designation, meaning "human".
French missionaries spelled "ESQUIMAU", negative "ESQUIMAUDE", plural "ESQUIMAUX". In English, "ESKIMO" is our commonly used form. Like the Indians, they came to the Americas only later from the Bering Strait. The Inuit exhibited primarily the racial characteristics of the yellow race.
They make their home off the coast, feeding mainly on marine mammals (mainly RHOQUE, walruses, narwhals and whales of all kinds) and land mammals (Canadian reindeer, white bear, musk ox, polar fox and polar bear).
There are many ways to hunt, and while rifles replace traditional weapons, harpoons are an effective complementary tool. The Inuit are also engaged in fishing. It mainly preys on marine fish (sharks, cod, mediocre fish dishes, salmon-colored trout and red salmon). Some localized races also catch freshwater fish.
Fishing activities are generally carried out on large ice floes, more often under ice floes, and different races use different fishing tools to catch different types of fish: fishing hooks, fishing nets, fishing baskets, harpoons. The Inuit also engage in picking during the short summers in the Arctic, but their diet is dominated by meat, an environment in which they rely mainly on seals and Canadian reindeer for survival. It was also the furs of those animals that provided the Inuit with clothing to withstand the cold.
As for the form of residence, the traditional is a house with a dome made of snow bricks - an igloo. However, the word igloo refers not only to this snow brick house, but to various forms of dwelling, which vary according to the seasons: in the summer, the Inuit live in tents made of hides; in the winter, they live in igloos, stone houses or mud houses.
Nomadic life also originated in migratory forms, and later invented dog sledding, a tool that American Indians also use, along with seal kayaks and canoes. Different seal kayaks are usually one-man boats, paddled with double short oars, and the narrow hull makes the seal kayaks very agile whether at sea or on ice.
In the gulf of UNGAVA in New Quebec, seal kayaks are the most magical, however, among inuit and Indians, the nomadic lifestyle has disappeared, snowmobiles have replaced sleighs, and barracks have replaced igloos.
