Inuits live in a frozen region

Where the temperature

Dips to -30 degrees Fahrenheit

In January

The sun sets in March

And doesn’t rise

For five months later

This harsh environment

In the Artic is  rich with wildlife

Like caribou, musk oxen, birds, seals,

Whales, walruses

And an abundance

Of fishes in lakes and rivers

The Inuits call the Artic home

Are mammal hunters

Eating mainly caribou meat

Using its oil for lamps

And making clothing

From its skin

- – -

Most of their weapons

And tools were made

From caribou bones

And other animals

Other useful body parts

Are an animal’s teeth, ivory

Sinews and intestinal tissues

- – -

Inuits make their boats

From seal skins

Live in igloos

Where they constantly
