4. Inuit-Yupik – Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and Greenland
The Inuit-Yupik are the people commonly referred as Eskimos, but the term is nowadays considered pejorative and tends to not be used. They encompass the large and similar ethnic groups of people who have been living in the Arctic for at least 5,000 years.
They’re used to living in freezing temperatures and as agriculture was never a possibility, they became expert hunters. They created the kayak, which was originally seal skins stretched over a whale bone frame, and also igloos, the famous snow hut that kept them warm.
