Inuit, meaning "the people", are the inhabitants north and west of the Hudson Bay that in times past lived in skin tents in the summer, and, uniquely, snowhouses in the winter. Known better to us as "Eskimos", this actually is a derogatory word that comes from the Cree (subarctic) people which means "eaters of raw meat". Here traditional Inuit life from the past is depicted in its various forms: from fishing techniques to interior dwellings to the fundamental bond between Inuit and sled dog.
