Inuit - the oldest people living in North America. In our today's review - 17 black and white photographs of their daily life. These retro pictures can tell a lot about the customs, traditions and activities of the Eskimos. Etymologically, the name "Inuit" means "real people", that is, those who eat raw meat. Meat is the staple food in the North in a harsh climate. Inuit hunters have achieved great success in their craft: it was they who invented the kayak for movement on water, designed a rotatable harpoon for hunting and became famous for special fur clothing that perfectly warms the body and protects from the cold.
