The Arctic people whose kayak, igloo, and qajaq mastery turned the world's harshest landscape into home.
Inuit People — the Inuit, meaning the People in Inuktitut, whose traditional territory spans the Arctic coastlines and tundra of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, the circumpolar world of sea ice, permafrost, and polar night whose Inuit people have inhabited for over four thousand years with a technological ingenuity and ecological knowledge that transformed the most demanding environment on earth into a homeland of remarkable cultural richness. The Inuit world — whose qajaq, the skin-on-frame kayak whose design the Inuit perfected for hunting ringed seals, bearded seals, and beluga whales in the ice-choked waters of the Arctic Ocean, whose iglu of snow blocks whose insulating properties kept families warm through polar winters whose temperatures dropped to sixty below, whose dog sled technology of the qimmiq whose teams could travel across sea ice and tundra at speeds no other Arctic transport matched, and whose Inuit Circumpolar Council today represents the political voice of approximately one hundred and eighty thousand Inuit people across four nations in the international forums where Arctic sovereignty, climate change, and indigenous rights are decided — carries into the twenty-first century the knowledge of a people whose ancestors read the Arctic with a precision that no satellite has yet surpassed, and whose communities today face in climate change the most direct and most devastating threat any indigenous people on earth confronts as the sea ice that sustained their civilization for millennia melts beneath their feet.
