Question 7 • Grade 8 World Cultures and Geography A

Identify the historic location of the Inuit peoples in North America, the type of climate in which they lived, and adaptations they made in order to survive.

Answer

Answer:

The Inuit historically lived in the Arctic regions of North America, including Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland. They lived in a polar climate with very cold temperatures, long winters, and little vegetation. To survive, they wore warm clothing made from animal skins, built shelters suited to the season and available materials, and hunted animals such as seals and caribou for food and supplies. They also used kayaks, sleds, and dogs to travel and hunt.
