Eskimo general knowledge.

Eskimo/Inuit are nomads they move around, They are simple people they hunt their own food which is usually fish. Eskimo is an American Indian word which translates to eaters of raw meat. So they eat the fish they catch raw. They also eat raw whale and polar bear. They do this as they have nowhere they can cook or preserve the food. They usually live in igloos but some have cabins. they build igloos. the do this by, the only tools you need are a snow spade and a saw. Then you have to find a solid foundation. Then you have to build the blocks you do this by using the saw each block should be between 15 and 30cm thick then you build the blocks in a spiral up leaving room for the door. Also some eskimos built tents called Tipis this would be better as they can be carried around and set up quicker.. That is how to build a basic igloo. The average life expectancy of an Eskimo is 45 years old. This would be lower but they have a healthy diet so that is why it is 45. One of there favorite pastimes is juggling it is a historic and native pastime in Alaska.
