The document provides background information on the Inuit people. It discusses that the Inuit are indigenous peoples inhabiting Arctic regions of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. They are descended from the Thule culture and displaced the related Dorset culture. The Inuit speak Inuktitut and rely on hunting marine mammals like seals and walrus for food and materials. They use dogsleds, kayaks, and umiaks for transportation and make clothing from animal skins for protection from the harsh Arctic climate. Marriage customs among Inuit were not strictly monogamous and divorce was sometimes arranged by community elders.
