curly black hair. They made their hunting knives from animal skin. Their native language is Hadzane. The live
in extreme heat of the Yaeda Valley when the soil is poor, water is in short supply and the bugs are terrible,
gathered berries and fruit. These people seems like they have no worries. The Inut The Inut live in the
frozen north of Canada, Russia and Alaska. In winter the temperatures can be as low as -50C. People live in
extreme conditions for centuries. The Inuit are short and well-built with almond-shaped eyes and straight
black hair. They wear large, thick coats with big, fur-lined hoods called parkas, big boots and furry gloves .
Inuit men spend their days out on the ice looking for whales, seals and even polar bears. They have dome
shaped houses called igloos made from blocks of snow. Women also can go hunting, but most choose to
stay at home and sew, cook, build tents and bring up children. They also have a tradition of story telling.
The Sami of Lapland The Sami people of northern Finland and Norway succeed to survive some of the
coldest environments in the world. Temperatures can be low as -30C, they travel across the frozen land, to
find food. They make their own tents and clothes from reindeer skin and use reindeers or dogs to pull the
slides. Sami life is only for those who are willing to work hard.
