People of the Arctic
People have populated the arctic for thousands of
years. They most likely followed their
game north from Central Asia and adapted to the environment. The most widespread people of the region are
known as the Inuit. They are found in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and
Siberia. Most of the tribes either herd,
fish, or hunt for a living but now that the area is being explored for natural
resources, they are being trained for more advanced occupations like farming
and mining. All of the Arctic people have adapted to survive in the Arctic
terrain with such little resources at their disposal which makes their culture unique to the rest of the world's.
I love the fact that new areas are being explored, but I hate the fact that this could potentially hurt the culture of these people! However, they would be contributing to our economy by having advancements in occupation!
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine trying to live in the Arctic all year long. The Inuit, along with all of the others living in this region, must be extremely adaptable to survive in the conditions of that region.
