In social studies, my and the extended class worked together to make an indigenous community project. For my group, we did our project on the inuit community. We had to write about stuff like their roles, what they do, how they live and stuff like that. We had fun looking up and researching all our facts it. was really interesting to learn all about the wonderful inuit community. I feel that its important to learn about indigenous communities as much as possible because after we found out about the residential schools, we knew that we had to reconcile for it and in order to reconcile, we really need to know about indigenous people and how they live.
Here are 10 facts that i learned
- The word inuit means the people
- The word NiaKojak means bread
- The decision-making group is divided into two opposing teams. The pros team suggests their ideas, and the cons team shares their comments and reasons
- Traditional Inuit foods include arctic char, seal, polar bear and caribou often eaten raw, frozen or dried
- The inuit believed in animism which means all things have a spirit including inanimate objects
- Rubbing noses is not an Inuit form of kissing
- Greenland’s population is primarily Inuits
- Inuit prefer to be called Inuk or Inuit – but not Eskimo
- Inuit lived in tent-like huts made of animal skins stretched over.
