+Johnny Topside That is backwards. Eskimo is a generic term inclusive of multiple peoples, not a specific tribe. Inuit, however, is referring to specific tribes of Eskimo, it's accurate when referring to only Canadian populations specifically. Eskimo is accurate for all of them, while Inuit is wrong when you get into Alaska and Siberia.

He compared it to calling all native Americans Aztecs, and claimed Inuit was proper, which is backwards. In Canada, most of the tribes are Inuit, so it' makes sense to refer to them as Inuit and that's what has become politically correct these days. But, people have misunderstood that and reached the conclusion that Eskimo is actually wrong, which is not the case, it simply also includes groups not in Canada.
It's not polite to call someone an eskimo, it means raw meat eater, like a savage. Inuit is accurate for people outside of canada. I don't know where you're getting your false information.
this is really cool. one of my friends is Inuit from Alaska. and he told me that to graduate from high school. everyone had to learn to build an igloo. and then stay in it for several days. similarly, in Minnesota, its a requirement to be able to swim, tread water for 20 minutes, an float. good things to learn. i think these kids of survival skills should be mandatory across the country.
You'd think in north dakota they'd have specialized classes as well being in the worst winters i lived there growing up you would have 70 below wind chills, sheets of ice nearly everywhere, huge snow drifts and black ice. But nope. Most we got was what to do when sliding while driving :/
Wait, you guys had those requirements? Wow. I live in Arizona. We just had to not fail school. The most survival stuff I learned was: Drink water, scorpions bad, rattlesnake bad, desert wants to kill you, now go home while we get the rattlesnake out from under the monkey bars where it made its nest.
Nothing should ever be mandatory. That is what takes freedom away. Just like brainwashing and mandating vaccines. Every school course should be optional but strongly advised/suggested.

The two Inuit men probably grew up watching their fathers and elders building igloos. This is useful for those who would want to learn the age old craft if they should go out on the land. Further, the word Inuit meaning people is now widely accepted in the north. Inuit means many without the 's', Inuuk means two and Inuk means one.

I'm sure this takes years of watching their parents build and multiple tries before they get it right, not having what the eastern view as education doesn't mean native people aren't educated, those skills are much harder to learn then the math we learn at school nowadays for sure, and I'm their environment at the time, much more useful.
I've seen a film taken in the 1920s of a snow house being built by one man. He even included an ice window with a sheet of snow to reflect sunlight through it.
I'm always fascinated by how anyone could survive and live in that climate. Our tribe is in Arizona and learned in grade school that the Alaskan tribes are related to us. Go Athabaskan brothers and sisters!!! 😎

How can the upper blocks stay in their places? The videos says they are "supporting each other", but the angle is insane. Why aren't they falling to the ground?
+Wimi Bussard The properties of the snow there allow it to happen, between that and skill, they make it look easy. It's a ton of work :) Having two people in there helps as one can support a block while the other puts up the next which locks the previous block in better.

Witchcraft
+Zen Yorkfield the other ice blocks hold them together until it thaws and refreezes then it will be cemented to eachother
Super Glue . . . . .
put 1 block on top, then poke ur sno-nife in middle, then slice a bit, then blocks will sticked togather, in cold , I do.
Not witchcraft, Minecraft!
