                                Inuit settlements range around the northern Artic regions of
                                Canada and Greenland.

                                Traditional Inuit housing ranges from Igloo to animal skin tents
                                during the few months of the year when temperatures were above freezing.

                                Inuits travel in snow mobiles and motorboats.

                                Inuit ocean hunters used animal skin boats called <em>qajait</em> which
                                were extraordinarily buoyant. European travelers copied the
                                properties of the boats along with the name, thus the creation of
                                the <em>kayak</em>. Inuit also made <em>umiaq</em>, a larger
                                version of the kayak.
                            </p>

                        <li>
                            <p>
                                Dog sleds were the primary means of land travel - in Inuktitut,
                                <em>qamutiit</em>, singular <em>qamutiq</em>. The husky
                                dog breed comes from Inuit breeding of dogs for transportation.

                                Inuit used the natural landscape to navigate on land. Where natural
                                landmarks were insufficient, the Inuit would erect an <em>inukshuk</em>, a
                                stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker. These
                                stone markers were created in the figure of a man.
