In this paper, we will explore the Inuit Eskimo. We will discuss the economic system of the culture, the government or decision-making system, the religious system, the social system of the culture, and assimilation and domination the Inuit has gone through during its history.
The Inuit are people that inhabit small enclaves in the coastal areas of Greenland, Arctic North America, and extreme northeastern Siberia. The name Inuit means the real people. In 1977 the Inuit Circumpolar Conference officially adopted Inuit as the replacement for the term “Eskimo.” There are several related linguistic groups of Arctic people. Many of these groups prefer to be called by their specific “tribal” names
rather than as Inuits. In Alaska the term “Eskimo” is still commonly used.
