In The Inuit: Northern Living, readers learn about the Inuit way of life, both past and present. The book tells how this hearty group of people survives the extreme environment of the Arctic. They use natural resources, such as ice, snow, and driftwood, to build homes. They use whales, caribou, seals, and walrus for food, clothing, tools, fuel, and more. The text is enhanced by maps, charts, and photography.
