The inuit people live near the Arctic.They live in Alaska, Canada, and Russia.They also are not a depeloped group of people. They used to be called eskimos, which is taken from a native american word meaning "Raw meat eater". They hunt for fish and seals. They tell stories,beat on drums and dance for entertainment. They have been around for a long time and they will be here for a long time too.

The People Inuit live in Alaska, Russia, and up around the Atric. Culture in English frequently means music, theater, dance or anything involving entertainment. Myths, legends, historical accounts, and storytelling for centuries.

The Inuit people live mostly in northern parts of Canada. They also live in some parts of Greenland. The term eskimo is one they don't really like and shouldn't be referred to as. Instead, they prefer the term Inuit, which means "people" or "the people."
Their beliefs are based heavily on mythology. The areas they inhabit are as well. They look into the northern lights believing they may see loved ones, and believe the waters contain great gods. They also think all things have a form of spirit. Today many Inuit people work in oil and gas, construction, government jobs, and many still supplement their income through hunting as well.
