The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on are located in the arctic regions of North America, Russia, and Greenland. “Inuit” means “the People.”

Inuit people have adapted to the extraordinarily harsh climate in which they live. Their culture is based on hunting, and men are expected to marry as soon as they are able to hunt. They hunt whales, seals, walrus, fish, caribou, polar bears, and seabirds. Every part of the animal is used either to eat, or for raw materials for clothing, and a variety of tools.

Inuit hunt either on the shore or in small light boats called kayaks. They often travel on dog-sleds, and dogs are extremely important to Inuit daily life. Some of the most beautiful and hardy dogs in the world have been bred by the Inuit: Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes among them.

Inuit have faced challenges to their traditional lifestyle in the past hundred years. The exploitation of natural resources in the north has brought the Inuit into contact with the outside world. Many have assimilated, adopting the customs and technology of the outside. However, traditional Inuit families still live and work the way their forebears did.
