Comment by Mrs Beth Brown
06/11/2019A nonfiction book highlighting the lifestyle of the Inuit people on the tundra. A great overview in words and pictures to illustrate traditional Inuit prior to European contact. Looks at housing, how they lived off the land, food, clothing, and also covers traditional roles, duties, and beliefs. The book ends with a short chapter on contact with the Europeans and a chapter on life today. The final page is a one-page glossary and index.
Primary – while the text may be above the reading level for many primary students, the pictures and language of the text are appropriate for primary students.
Intermediate – an appropriate resource for intermediate students to use for research.
