In one of the most remote places in the world, the
Canadian Arctic, a people have survived over a thousand years.
Inuit simply means "people."
Inuit were originally known by Europeans as "Eskimos" - a pejorative
term roughly meaning "eaters of raw meat." The majority of Inuit
inhabit the northern regions of Canada, known as Nunaat or "homeland," populated with small,
scattered communities and villages throughout the Arctic from Alaska to
eastern Greenland.
