Today these same tribes exist, but their lifestyles are very different. The Inuit, or Eskimo, lives in northern Alaska. While tradition tells us they lived in Igloos, that was a nomadic dwelling. Most Eskimos today live in homes, just like you and I, in towns that are quite large. Rarely will you find dog sleds used for anything except racing.
Snowmobiles are the primary mode of transportation in the winter.
Their livelihood today consists of guiding hunters and fishermen though the tough terrain of Alaska. The Aleut live in southwest Alaska. Historically the Aleut lives on the streams and ocean, eating salmon and marine mammals. The Athabaskan tribe are a diverse group united by language. Their ancestors lived in the fat north and south mountain ranges, making it hard to survive starvation.
