Food:
The Inuit People relied on the ocean for their food. Providing food for both people and dogs, seals were also used for oil to heat and cook while their hides were used for clothing and tents. Walrus and whale were also hunted but the blubber of the sea mammals were one of the most crucial resources for the Inuit, which were used to make clothing, materials for boats, tents, harpoon lines, and fuel for light and heat. Caribou and fish were also a part of their diet. Because cooking fuel was precious, food was eaten raw. Important seasonal activities included gathering bird eggs, shellfish, berries, and the hunts for polar bear and whale. Especially in the fall, the Inuit who lived inland hunted caribou and musk-ox. The Coastal groups relied mainly on sea mammals for their source of food.
Dwellings:
Due to their environment, the Inuit used snow as a shelter, which made an excellent insulator. The Inuit constructed domed houses out of snow known as igloos. Providing a secure and safe house, the igloos were warmed by the bodies of the occupants as well as a seal lamp. Driftwood or poles covered in animal skins were made into tents during the summer.
