Inuit Culture and other Tundra culture
In southwestern Alaska, you would think that people would be eating everything they can get, but there is so much fish
in the area that they would eat fish all the time unless their is an emergency.
In a central portion of the Canadian arctic, People spend their winters in temporary snowhouse communities out on the
sea ice. They hunt seals at their breathing holes. They spend springs hunting basking seals, and in late summer they go
inland and hunt caribou.
Earlier populations of Eskimos lived in permanent semisubterranean houses during the winter instead of snowhouses,
and sometimes staying in the same village for summer.
They live their lives this way because of their climate.
