Chapter 1 Inuit Shelter The Inuit used tents made of animal skins or igloos made out of ice blocks. And since the material of the tents was animal skin, they could move around up north and discover new parts of their land.


Location Inuit The Inuit was a tribe that lived up north (Canada, Alaska, and Greenland). They had very cold weather and a lot of ice. And because of where they were they couldn't fish, but they could ice fish. They also used dog sleds to get around, and the people also ate certain foods because of where they lived.


Transportation Dog sleds were a means of transportation to the Inuit. They also use kayak that holds one people or umiak that holds ten or more people.


Inuit transportation By : Jeffery Keener


Inuit Used the Kayaks Since it was difficult to get food at the time they had to ration their food. They had access to fish but it was dangerous to go fishing. They used kayaks to get fish and seals. The kayaks were effective but dangerous if they flipped over. The person on will fall into the water and go into hyperthermia in under five minutes. So they use wet suits made out of dried seal insides which is water proof.


Transportation Kayak’s where one of the first transportation for the Inuit they use the kayak for going fishing or going to a different place by using the water. They use seal skin to form the outer of the kayak then tie some rope around the kayak to hold it together. Another one of their transportation was dog sleds. That’s how they got through the snow it was much easier than walking through the snow.


Transportation

Dog sleds were the main transportation. They used kayak to move in the water and hunt in the water for whales. They have a large boat called umiaks.
