| | Inuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This is in part a result of the 1977 meeting of Inuit from Greenland, Canada and Alaska representing a circumpolar population of 150,000 who chose to use the name Inuit in forming the Inuit Circumpolar Conference. | | | By the late 1920s, there were no longer any Inuit who had not been contacted by traders, missionaries or government agents. | | | In recent years, circumpolar cultural and political groups like the Inuit Circumpolar Conference have come together to promote the Inuit and other northern people and to fight against ecological problems, such as global warming, which disproportionately affects the Inuit population. |

| | Inuit Throat-Singing |
| | I will end with an interview with a wonderful young Inuit throat-singer from the north of the province Quebec, who is dedicated to promote and make this particular type of throat-singing known to the world. | | | EM: A lot of non-Inuit people have asked the history of throat-singing, and have asked elders to find out where the throat-singing came from. | | | But my white background allows me to share my culture to non-Inuit societies, like very English societies, French societies. |

| | Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Global warming is killing us too, say Inuit |
| | The Inuit people of Canada and Alaska are launching a human rights case against the Bush administration claiming they face extinction because of global warming. | | | By repudiating the Kyoto protocol and refusing to cut US carbon dioxide emissions, which make up 25% of the world's total, Washington is violating their human rights, the Inuit claim. | | | However, the Inuit believe the publicity the case will provide, particularly with hearings in Washington, will embarrass George Bush's government and educate US public opinion about the consequences of profligate ways of living. |

| | Apparently the plan is for the students to learn a great deal about the modern world, because before too long, they know all about the true history of their world. | | | One need not merely imagine these worlds: they have been written about in other stories, such as Mike Resnik's Kirinyaga anthology (about the African Kikuyu tribe), and Virginia Baker's "Rachel's Wedding" (about Hasidic and kibbutzim Jews). | | | The entire story is told from the perspective of the Inuit people, and they obviously have an enviably simple and pristine existence. |

| | Sedna is the Inuit Goddess of the Sea. | | | Once this is done, she releases her mammals to allow the Inuit to eat from the bounty of the sea. | | | It is for this reason in the north that after a hunter catches a seal he drops water into the mouth of the mammal, a gesture to thank Sedna for her kindness in allowing him to feed his family. |

| | As a result, Inuit began attacking isolated stations to obtain the goods they wanted, which led to counter assaults against Inuit by French crews. | | | While Inuit initially resisted abandoning their own spiritual beliefs for Christianity, aid given by missionaries to ill, elderly, widowed, orphaned and hungry people led to increasing numbers of converts in the early 19th century. | | | The worst epidemic occurred in 1918 at Okak and Hebron, when an outbreak of influenza led to the death of one-third of the total Inuit population. |

| | Archaeology in the Arctic |
| | The term "Inuit" is also used by some people to describe all these populations although it is only in the dialects of some of the groups who live in the Canadian Arctic that this word is used for self-designation. | | | The terms Inuit and Eskimo are the names applied to the Arctic-adapted populations who live in the region extending all the way from eastern Siberia to Greenland. | | | Biological, linguistic and archaeological evidence indicates that these people (and the Aleuts of the Aleutian Islands) are distinct from all the other aboriginal populations of the Americas and probably derive from a more recent population movement out of Asia. |

Now they prefer their own term, "Inuit," meaning simply "people." There are about 40,000 Inuit in Canada. |
