Except for his boots, an Eskimo’s complete winter outfit weighed only 10 pounds, yet he was able to stay warm in the very coldest weather they can do this because there bodies have adapted to the cold and are used to it and also the clothes they wear are just animal skins of prey they caught.

What do they eat?

Eskimos live in Arctic ares of the world so they do not have any ways to cook there food so they usually eat there food raw although some make fires and cook it. Infect the word Eskimo means"the eater of raw meat". Am Eskimos diet would consist of seals (the single most important part of their diet), salmon, cod, whales, and other sealife. On land were caribou and geese in the summer. (They have to go inland to find caribou.) During the winter they hunt polar bears, foxes, and hares. Their favorite foods are seal and caribou meat, walrus liver, and the skin of whales. However this diet is not healthy as they only eat meat which means they are very low on carbohydrates however they are high on protein and also on Fat. Eskimos hunt their food. They hunt by using kayaks and have animal skin on the outside this allows them to get up very close without being heard by there prey. They get the seals because they have to brake a hole in the ice Because they have to come up and breath air. So Eskimos just have to be patient and as soon as they come up they strike and kill they seal. When they catch the seal none of him is waited they use everything such as the skin for clothing, intestine for waterproof clothing when they go hunting and eat almost everything else.

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.

what are do these people prefer to be called?

Eskimos live in the Arctic regions of Canada,United States, Greenland and Siberia.
In Canada and Greenland the term Eskimo is widely held to be offensive and has fallen out of favour, largely supplanted by the term Inuit. However, while Inuit describes all of the Eskimo peoples in Canada and Greenland, that is not true in Alaska and Siberia. In Alaska the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat, while Inuit is not accepted as a collective term or even specifically used for Inupiat (who technically are Inuit). No universal term other than Eskimo, inclusive of all Inuit and Yupik people, exists for the Inuit and Yupik peoples. Although There are lots of defferant tribes and folk groups called eskimos and they have many different nanes for themselves.
