Ironically, scientists put the Indians in a separate anthropological category while the Eskimos are considered more closely related to the natives of northern Asia. They gradually spread across the Arctic regions of the continent.
Languages spoken are basically the same throughout the region.
Eskimos lived in some of the world's coldest areas near the Arctic Circle. Surviving was a struggle, a constant battle with the elements. The cold waters of the Arctic provided the Eskimos with a great deal of their food. On land were caribou and geese in the summer. During the winter they hunted polar bears, foxes, and hares.
