Features: The Canadian Arctic is a cold region. At first glance, it may seem uninhabitable. However, in reality, the Arctic has long-residing Inuit people, many of whom possess rich and deeply rooted cultures. For thousands of years, the Inuit have survived in this harsh land, continuously thriving. In this book, you will learn how the Inuit utilize the natural resources around them—whales, seals, North American elk, and Arctic plants—to create sturdy houses and exquisite artworks. You will also discover how the lives of the Inuit changed after explorers from Europe reached the Canadian Arctic in the early 14th century. Most importantly, you will learn how modern Inuit are actively preserving their rich heritage and how they are balancing new technologies with traditional ways.
