Due to extreme conditions in the arctic, the Inuit have developed a unique bond with nature. The environment they live in is their biggest ally and opponent, their NEMESIS.
Inuit use all parts of a harvested seal or caribou. The meat is consumed, the skin is used to make insulated clothing, and bones are carved into artwork or turned into tools. What is considered unfit for human consumption feeds the dogs.
After having been a semi nomadic people for more than 4000 years, the Inuit were forced into settlement by the Canadian stewardship in the 1960s, by making it illegal to not be registered with a fixed address.
Today, Nunavut, the territory with the biggest Inuit population, is in an estate of crisis. High unemployment and homicide rates can be linked to people's inability to live their ancestor's semi nomadic lifestyle.
