    The Inuit people live in the far northern areas of Alaska, Canada, Siberia, and Greenland. They originally made their home along the Alaskan coast, but migrated to other areas. Everything about the lives of the Inuit is influenced by the cold tundra climate in which they live. The typical materials for making homes such as wood and mud are hard to find in the frozen tundra of the Arctic. The Inuit learned to make warm homes out of snow and ice for the winter. During the summer they would make homes from animal skin stretched over a frame made from driftwood or whalebones. The Inuit word for home is "igloo."The Inuit needed thick and warm clothing to survive the cold weather. They used animal skins and furs to stay warm. They made shirts, pants, boots, hats, and big jackets called anoraks from caribou and seal skin. They would line their clothes with furs from animals like polar bears, rabbits, and foxes. The Inuit people were unable to farm and grow their own food in the harsh desert of the tundra. They mostly lived off of meat from hunting animals. They used harpoons to hunt seals, walruses, and the bowhead whale. They also ate fish and foraged for wild berries. A high percentage of their food was fatty, which gave them energy in the cold weather. In order to hunt larger prey like walruses and whales, the Inuit hunters would gather in a large group. To hunt a whale, typically at least 20 hunters would gather on a large boat armed with a number of harpoons. They would attach a number of seal-skin balloons filled with air to the harpoons. This way the whale could not dive deep into the water when it was first speared. Each time that the whale would come to the surface for air, the hunters would harpoon it again. Once the whale died, they would tie it to the boat and tow it back to shore.
    A member of the Inuit people is called an Inuk. The warm soft boots worn by the Inuit are called mukluks or kamik. In order to mark areas and to keep from getting lost, paths were marked with a pile of stones called an inuksuk. Nearly ninety percent of the Inuit in Western Alaska died from disease after they came into contact with Europeans in the 1800s. Inuit women were responsible for sewing, cooking, and raising the children. The men provided food by hunting and fishing. The Inuit had no formal marriage ceremony or ritual. After hunting, they would perform rituals and sing songs in honor of the animal's spirit.

    Overtone throat singing and the mimicking of animal or environmental sounds was likely the precursor to language and music. It is incredible to watch and hard to believe that this phenomenon was forgotten or lost long ago by the Western cultures, only being rediscovered in the last century for the most part. The famous artic explorer Parry first wrote about the Inuit throat singing in his journals in 1824.

      With all due respect, beatboxers who come across this will want to learn this, if they don't already know the specific techniques (which is a possibility), actually learn (by themselves) the techniques they need to learn, and then eventually integrate that into their beatboxing.
      You need to trust that they WILL do it eventually if they are exposed to this music. There currently are techniques that are much harder to master than that within beatboxing. As beautiful and unique as this is, beatboxers topping this is not an "if" but a "when".

      Why not compare the two? There are bound to be similarities. Maybe the Finnish way of singing which Stäni referenced was copied from the Inuit.

      If you take offense in having someone making a distinction in sounds heard around them, that's on you. It's human nature to seek patterns and familiarities in their senses.
      Different cultures have different ways of "showing respect". The sound is actually mesmerizing. I'm not saying those 2 are washing machines. Hahaha.

      No, it isn't. The people who would become the Inuit came to North America millennia before there even was a Tuvan people. Aside from both being throat singing, and the peoples being (extremely) distantly related, there is no connection.
