The life of the Inuit people of North America have changed a lot in 30 years. First, their
name: people used to call them Eskimos, but now they are called Inuits, which means
“the people”. They used to live in igloos in the winter but today many of them live in
houses in small towns. They used to hunt seals – they ate the meat and made clothes
from the fur. Many of the people still wear sealskin clothes today because they are very
warm. Remember, the weather is extremely cold for many months of the year. Eighty-
year-old Inuit, Mario Tagalik, told us a little about his early life. “Our winter igloos were
very warm. We used to cook inside so sometimes it got too hot. When I was a child I
used to take off most of my clothes when I was in our igloos. In the short summers we
lived in sealskin tents, but I used to spend as much time as possible playing outside”.
