Synopsis

This book is part of the People of the World series which sets out to explain the history of the Inuit and the outlook for their future. Their story begins about 8000 years ago when their ancestors arrived in Alaska from Asia. Hunting and travelling filled their lives in the coldest possible climate. They met together in summer camps to swop stories, play games and carve ornaments and weapons. This happy life was spoiled by the arrival of Europeans who tried to seize their lands and wiped out the wild life on which the Inuit depended for their living. Gradually their lives have improved again and now they have their own lands, run their own schools and businesses and make their own laws. The Inuit can now look forward to a happier future.
