Food
Inuit followed a seasonal round, which means people travelled to where food and resources were available during spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Inuit harvested large quantities of food from the ocean using kajait and umiak.
On land, the entire family assisted with the caribou hunt.
Women and children drove the caribou into a lake or river where men waited in kajait to hunt the animals.
