'' THE INUPIAQ PEOPLE " ---Traditionally, Inupiaq people hunted caribou, musk-ox, polar bear, seal, walrus and whales, and fished for Arctic char, cod and salmon. They also foraged for berries and other vegetation during the short summer season. Traditional trade and bartering could span hundreds of miles.

Before contact with Europeans, Inupiaq people built boats of walrus skin on wooden frames. There were no trees, but driftwood was obtainable.

Much of the year, Inupiaq tundra territory is frozen and ocean ice is continuous from the northern Alaskan shore across the North Pole. Skilled hunters, these short, weather-hardened people possess an intuitive grasp of their environment and a profound regard for the sea, land and living things.

Arctic peoples learned to adapt to one of the harshest environments on Earth and subsisted for millennia on resources drawn from sea and land. Previous to the advent of European influence, numerous bands came into routine contact, principally for trade.
