The Inuit are an Indigenous people who inhabit the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. They are believed to have originated from Siberia, crossing the Bering Strait to North America around 10,000 years ago.
The Inuit are traditionally a hunter-gatherer society relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering to sustain themselves. They are known for their intricate traditional clothing, which is made from caribou skin and sealskin to provide insulation and protection against the cold Arctic climate.

The Mi'kmaq are a highly spiritual people with strong cultural and spiritual traditions. They are renowned for their beadwork, quillwork, and basket weaving. They are also skilled hunters, fishers, and gatherers.
