Eskimo
One of the most striking aspects of traditional Eskimo culture is its relative Extensive intermarriage occurred between greenland Eskimo and Danes,
http://www.alaskan.com/docs/eskimo.html

Extractions: The Eskimo are the native inhabitants of the seacoasts of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and the northeastern tip of Siberia. Their habitation area extends over four countries: the United States, Canada, the USSR, and Greenland. Of the more than 90,000 Eskimo in this region, the greater part live south of the Arctic Circle, with approximately 28,000 on the Aleutian Islands and in Alaska; 17,000 in Canada; 1,500 in Siberia; and 45,000 in Greenland. The word Eskimo is not an Eskimo word. It means "eaters of raw meat" and was used by the Algonquin Indians of eastern Canada for these hardy neighbors who wore animal-skin clothing and were adept hunters. The name became commonly employed by European explorers and now is generally used, even by Eskimo. Their own term for themselves is Inuit (the Yupik variant is Yuit), which means the "real people." The Eskimo inhabit one of the most inclement regions of the world. Their land is mostly tundralow, flat, treeless plains where the ground remains permanently frozen except for a few inches of the surface during the brief summer season. Although some groups are settled on rivers and depend on fishing, and others follow inland caribou herds, most Eskimo traditionally have lived primarily as hunters of maritime mammals (seals, walrus, and whales), and the structure and ethos of their culture have always been fundamentally oriented to the sea. One of the most striking aspects of traditional Eskimo culture is its relative homogeneity across more than 8,000 km (5,000 mi) of the vast expanses of the Arctic. The main institutional and psychological patterns of the culturereligious, social, and economicare much the same. There are some differences in traditional kinship systems, however, especially in the western regions, and the language is divided into two major dialectical groups, the Inupik speakers (Greenland to western Alaska) and the Yupik speakers (southwestern Alaska and Siberia).
Arctic Culture
The culture of the first people to reach northeastern greenland and the HighArctic is called Independence I by archaeologists, named after the fjord on
http://www.quarkexpeditions.com/arctic/culture.shtml

Extractions: The word "Eskimo" comes from eskipot, an Algonquian word meaning "an eater of raw flesh." Some Eskimos feel this attribution puts them in a poor light with modern audiences and prefer to use other terms. The most widely used is "Inuit" which really refers specifically to the Eskimos of the eastern Canadian Arctic. In the Bering Sea region, Eskimos prefer to be called "Yup'ik," while the North Slope Alaska Eskimos prefer "Inupiat" and Mackenzie Delta Eskimos prefer "Inuvialuit." (The word "Eskimo" will be used occasionally to refer to all native Arctic people.) Arctic languages, although having root similarities, are mutually unintelligible. For example, Yuit is spoken in northeastern Siberia, Yupik on coastal Alaska south of Norton Sound, Aleut in the Aleutians (a very ancient linguistic split from the others,) and Inupik from the middle of Norton Sound, north and east across Arctic Canada to Greenland and Labrador. The latter is geographically one of the largest language distributions in the world with only dialectic differences between northern Alaska and Greenland.

Extractions: People have inhabited the Arctic for thousands of generations. Who was the first people of the Arctic? Where were they located? What were they like? First, read the following information and locate these areas on a map. Second, design a time line to illustrate Inuit prehistory. Third, conclude that the migration of peoples across the Arctic has been continuous for many centuries. Evidence of these early people has been found in the tools, dishware, and weapons left behind. You may wonder why archaeologists and anthropologists are quite sure of the age of the different tools and weapons found that were used by people so long ago. A method called radio carbon dating is used to determine the age of ancient tools and weapons. This dating is accurate to between 100 and 200 years of the actual age of the objects. Archaeologists believe that the earliest people migrated to North America from Siberia. The Siberia North America connection was given further credence with the 1996 discovery of early stone tools near the Upstar river, north of Magada, a city in Siberia. These tools were the same as those found in parts of the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic. (Even from ancient times, we have been a land of immigrants!) Most archaeologists believe that the earliest people migrated over the Bering Land Bridge before rising sea levels covered the land about 11,000 years ago. Check the map to find these waters called the Bering Strait. When did the first people come to North America? The answer to this question is uncertain.

Extractions: In connection with the second meeting of the U.S.-Denmark-Greenland Joint Committee May 18-20 in Washington, the U.S. Department of State issued a fact sheet outlining the results achieved by the partnership of the United States, Greenland and Denmark since the signing of new agreements by the three governments in 2004. Following is the fact sheet: U.S. Department of State THE NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND GREENLAND AND DENMARK The United States and Denmark, including the Home Rule Government of Greenland, signed agreements in Igaliku, Greenland on August 6, 2004, that set up a Joint Committee to broaden and deepen cooperation between the United States and Greenland. The Joint Committee promotes concrete cooperation on a wide range of scientific, environmental, economic, commercial, and educational areas. Representatives of the three parties first met in the capital of Greenland, Nuuk, October 5-6, 2004. Since then, cooperation has advanced considerably and is already producing significant results with programs, projects, and partnerships across many agencies. Washington hosted the second meeting of the Joint Committee May 18-20, 2005, delivering on the Igaliku agreements. In this ongoing process, Denmark will host the next meeting of the Joint Committee in Copenhagen in the first half of 2006. Some illustrative examples of results include the following:

The archaeological remains of these migrant whalers were first found near Thulein northern greenland, hence the appellation Thule culture.
http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/archeo/cvh/arctic/earc9.htm

Extractions: A.D. 1000 - 1600 Sometime around A.D. 1000, the whalers of North Alaska began to move eastward, probably travelling by umiak and bringing with them most of the elements of the sophisticated sea-hunting culture that had developed in Alaska over the previous millennium ( figure figure Thule villages are spread throughout the coastal areas of arctic Canada. After the first, apparently rapid, movement across the Arctic, Thule people began to penetrate other areas where whales were not available but other resources could be found. On Victoria Island and the adjacent mainland, for example, we find evidence of Thule people who seem to have subsisted primarily on seals, caribou and fish. In the region around Igloolik, they must have soon discovered the immense walrus resources of the area and built villages in good walrus-hunting localities. Even in those areas where whaling was clearly a very successful activity, Thule villages contain large numbers of bones of seals, walrus, caribou and other animals. One concludes that they were diversified hunters who utilized their technology to fully exploit the surrounding environment ( figure ). Yet the number of whales they killed suggests that much of their food and fuel must have continued to come from that source (

http://www.highnorth.no/Library/Hunts/Other/wh-a-pa.htm

Extractions: Author: Kaj Egede, Minister of Fisheries, Greenland Whaling is part of our culture and history. Like other forms of hunting, whaling is an important part of our present-day life, and for us is both a symbol and a living reality. But whaling has now become a symbol for many people in the western world. The whales have become a symbol of how human beings should treat living resources. This led to the so-called "moratorium" which meant a five-year total ban on all commercial whaling. During those five years extensive biological survey were carried out which showed that a number of whale stocks are far more plentiful than was believed just a few years ago. Nevertheless, strong economic and political forces are working to extend the whaling moratorium. In certain circles, the whaling issue has become a matter of ethics. If this attitude becomes widespread it can become a problem for Greenland. Greenland is part of the international community - also when it comes to whaling. So we must cooperate and negotiate with other countries and peoples, even if we disagree with them in their view of whaling.

It's free! Save it. Fifty Years of Arctic Research presents papers by scholars working across the Arctic, gathered to mark the retirement of Jorgen Meldgaard from a career of more than 50 years in Arctic archaeology. The papers honor both the long tradition of Arctic research in the National Museum of Denmark's Department of Ethnography in general and Meldgaard's remarkable contribution in particular. As is to be expected in such a volume, the papers vary widely in both scope and content, reflecting the broad influence of Meldgaard's long career. Taken together, they depict a discipline that has grown a great deal in 50 years but still presents some fundamental questions for researchers. Given the inspiration of this volume, it is not surprising that memoirs have a prominent place. The editors' introduction begins by summarizing Meldgaard's career, from his first appearance in the Department of Ethnography in 1945 until his retirement in 1997. Included in the introduction, although not listed in the table of contents, are two birthday tributes, one from George Qulaut, Commissioner of the Nunavut Implementation Commission, and one from Greenlandic artist Jens Rosing. Similar brief notes, editorials, and picture essays are scattered throughout the text. Old friends Klaus Ferdinand and Hans-Georg Bandi also contributed memoirs. Both shed light not only on Meldgaard's research, but on him as a person as well.
