  • More "civilized." Hmmm, what do you mean by that? The Europeans called themselves "civilized" yet waged war on the Natives cultures, and who called them all kinds of nasty things, and didn't they try to "civilize" the Natives? Look what the so-called civilizations have done to the Earth's many wonderful cultures. I think we need to re-think the word "civilized".

  • Excuse me but the Inuit people live in Canada too, so they are Canadian as well. The NWT, Nunavut and the Yukon are all part of Canada. And just because they have a different style of throat singing does not mean it is not throat singing. What does herding reindeer have to do with anything?

  • @kardancer1 Yeah... Mongolia lol

  • I find it interesting that the Inuit, Tuvan, monogloian, and native siberians all have throat singing, when they are so far apart. It says something about where these people lived thousands of years ago!

  • it meanas blubber eater in inuit

  • that's not true. people think that eskimo means "eater of raw meat." That's not true. It's been traced back to mean either "Snowshoe netters" and "People who speak a different language." But in government usage, the term Inuit is used.

  • I never knew that.

  • Don't you know that the word Eskimo is a derogatory term, for the Inuit people? Is like referring to a black person as a Nigger.

  • i would love to learn this, i like the tone im a white girl but have some indian in me from generations back.

  • oops.. sorry..my mistake, I meant to say thats my cousin Elaisa and my aunt Koomoo

  • i dont get it =P which one is your aunt?
