Abstract
The Inuit, Iñupiat (Iñupiaq), and Yupiit (Yup’ik) peoples have been the principal occupants of much of the arctic tundra region of North America lying beyond the continental tree line. They lived in self-sufficiency by making full use of the natural resources available in their territories and trading some of these resources with neighboring groups before they came into close contact with Europeans and others starting roughly in the sixteenth century.
