Inuit and Haida The Inuit and Haida are similar and different in many ways. They both eat ocean based food, they live in very different places, and they have different life styles. Eating ocean based food is what the Inuit and Haida both have in common. They eat things such as fish, whale, walrus, muscles,and other sea living creatures. They use all of the parts of the animal. The Inuit and Haida also build houses. The Inuit build small, portable houses, while the Haida build huge, permanent cedar houses. Also they are in tribes but are mostly divided into families. The Inuit are their own type of people. They build their houses out of whale bones. They have their own ways of currency. When the children want to come outside, they
Inuit Odyssey, by CBC’s: The Nature of Things covers the long and eventful journey of the Inuit people. Canadian anthropologist, Dr. Niobe Thompson searched for the answers to questions about who the modern day Inuit are, where did they come from, how did they survive and who did they conquer along the way? Thompson explored the direct lineage between modern day Inuit and the Thule people, and their interactions with the Dorset and Norse Vikings in their search for iron. Thompson is ultimately concerned with how the current warming climate will affect the Inuit people therefore, he decides to retrace the creation of the Inuit culture, starting his journey in the original homeland of the Thule people.
Martha of the North (2009) provides an example. The Inuit’s language and culture were affected by the deprivation of education as well as the need to survive, putting a disadvantage at their culture advancing because they were too busy trying to stay alive. People were hurt physically. As the documentary describes, the High Arctic is completely dark for a duration of three months in the winter, making it difficult for the Inuit to differentiate between salt water and fresh water ice bergs. They would often times break their tools and hurt themselves. Their psychology health was affected by the depressing state they lived in, to the point that many were dying due to the harsh conditions and committing suicide. Martha of the North (2009) also describes how social relations are interfered with, when Martha and her best friend were unable to be together when the lake melted in the summer. The Inuit’s daily actions were all affected by the interrelation of the environment they were in, the condition that their bodies were in, as well as the well-being of their mind. These are connected to one another, as one factor would influence the
They are mostly meat eaters because of the location the Haida, Iroquois, and Inuit had. The Inuit, Haida, and Iroquois ate sea animals like fish, seals, etc. and land animals like birds polar bears, etc. In the article www.firstpeopleofcanada.com it states that the inuit tribe, Haida tribe, and the Iroquois tribe mostly were meat eaters due to their location.
The Nez Perce and Chinook tribes had similarities and differences of the way they ate and their different food sources. According to the encyclopedia of Native Americans it states , " The Nez Perce tribe mainly lived by hunting buffalo with bow
A lot of people have tribes, and almost every tribe is different. In rules, looks, and meanings. There are two specific tribes to learn about today. That is the Apache tribe and the Lakota tribe. There are many similarities and differences.
Though both were similar in some ways, they had many, many differences. Even their similarities contained differences! For example, while both the Ojibwe and the Dakota depended on canoes, the Dakota used hollowed-out logs to make canoes and the Ojibwe used a sturdy wooden frame wrapped in Birch or Cedar Bark to make theirs.
Do you ever wonder what are the differences are between the two tribes?Well I know the two tribes that both use Tipis for housing, these two are Blackfoot and Inuit. They also live in different places with very different climates, and they also have different vegetations.
There are differences between the Inuit, Sioux, and the Haida. One difference is they live in different parts of Canada. For example, the Sioux live in the plains while the Inuit live in the Arctic. Another difference is they hunt in different ways. An example is the Inuit prefer fishing in the ice
There were many commonalities of these people, such as how the Nordic Sami and Skræling lived. Look below at the comparisons of Sami lavvo tents (that reside in North Scandinavia) to that of the Native American (Skræling) teepees most commonly know in the North American Great Plains.
The environment also affected the Indians shelter in many ways. Depending on where they lived, the Indian tribes had different ways of protecting themselves from the elements using the available resources, and different designs for the general climate. For example, the Indians living in the mountainous and semi-desert areas of the south west lived in light twig shacks and log huts, whereas the Inuits of the sub arctic north America built igloos, and the woodland Indians lived in bark covered houses.
The Inuits food plans are fish and hunted arctic animals. The main reason the Inuit are still in northern Canada, is because they are used to their lifestyle and the northern
While watching a video entitled “Eskimo: Fight for Life” about the daily life of an Eskimo and what they do to survive; I was very surprised to see what the living conditions were. For starters, the weather that they live in on average is about thirty- fifty degrees below zero. Although many people living in New York today may think these are extreme weather conditions, and it may be impossible for us to phantom the idea of living there; the Inuit found a method to live life blissfully when they were together while enduring the Artic environment through the outrageous temperatures. A couple of things the Eskimos did to help them survive was, build igloos to stay and sleep together under animal fur to stay warm, the men and women had their individual roles to provide for the family, and lastly they entertain themselves
A large portion of the Inuit culture was developed based upon the need to survive. Migratory societies such as the Inuit were driven by the need for food to feed its members, by the availability of trade to secure resources not normally available ...
...ught could be seen as arrogant, and had a condescending attitude as they thought the Inuit were “skraelings (a sick, weak person)” (McAnany and Yoffee, p. 56), all their encounters may not have been confrontational. They believe that their attitude simply could have come from a religious factor that it was the difference in being Christian compared to non-Christian. Though artifacts were scarcely found from the Norse in the Thule Inuit ruins and vice versa, the artifacts that were found could represent an encounter, but could as well have been from plundering abandoned homes. Also, when searching Norse settlements, no weapons were found, thus making them powerless against the Inuits if it had come down to a conflict between them. A scene on a small piece of bone did depict a battle, however it is important to note that it did not depict a Norseman against an Inuit.
Animal welfare groups portray the Inuit as monsters who kill animals for pleasure, but in truth, the
