Traditions. Although Inuit life has changed significantly over the past century, many traditions continue. Traditional storytelling, mythology, and dancing remain important parts of the culture. Family and community are very important.
Inuit are the descendants of what anthropologists call the Thule culture, who emerged from western Alaska, after crossing from Siberia, around 1000 CE and spread eastwards across the Arctic. They displaced the related Dorset culture, the last major Paleo-Eskimo culture (in Inuktitut, called the Tuniit).he Inuit of Alaska are the Inupiat (from Inuit-people â and piaq/piat real, i.e. 'real people') who live in the Northwest Arctic Borough, the North Slope Borough and the Bering Straits region. Barrow, the northernmost city in the United States, is in the Inupiat region.
