The levels of plastic, heavy metals, and industrial pollutants winding up in the ocean is a shame (in every way, but especially in the context of the Inuit). Inuit are basically apex predators, so all those pollutants that build up as the food chain goes upwards wind up in them. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I've read articles that state that levels of heavy metals are so high in some samples of Inuit breast milk (for example), that the breast milk could itself be classified as hazardous waste.

I've been trying to figure out how that's possible, as Spaniards never went so far north and Africans weren't enslaved so far north so I'm just so confused... maybe during the Viking Age as I do have some Irish and Scottish blood, so perhaps I had some ancestors who went to Greenland and then Northern Canada?

Most of my best sources are old russian anthropologists, and obviously the people around me but that's rather one sided. It might be interesting if you were to do a video on the old Inuit tribes "science" and type of social progress; for example most Inuit tribes had a developed knowledge of the spherical shape of the earth, very advanced navigation, calendars and season charts, and my own tribe had an advanced knowledge of evolution as observed [and ironically criticised] by an early 18th century russian.

Eskimo has come to be seen as a pejorative term in Canada and Greenland and has been replaced by Inuit in both those countries, whereas in Alaska (and in the United States in general), Eskimo is still a common term.

[@gamermapper]

It kinda sucks since there's no replacement. The definiton of Eskimo is Inuits and Yupiks who both descended from one people and speak similar languages. And Yupiks don't want to be called Inuit. It's not inclusive for them. Although the Aleuts also descended from the same people but linguistically they've diverged way more. So maybe I have some ideas : either you say that they're "Eskimoan speakers" to Inuits and Yupiks and "Eskaliut speakers" to Inuits, Yupiks and Aleuts (those words are kinda necessary for talking about specific history... When I hear something about the "Inuits" I can never know if it includes the Yupiks or not). Or maybe replace Eskimo with "Greater Inuit people" and Inuit with "Lesser Inuit people"

[@gamermapper]

Especially since they're not only closely related people, they're technically even their own ethnicity or "race" different from ALL other indigenous people of the americas, since they arrived way later. BTW I've found an actually viable replacement : indigenous people of the American Arctic. But it seems not that much convinient.

Masan I’ve got a theory that I was hoping you could possibly look in to. I was a researcher at the California Academy of Sciences a year ago and I met some brilliant people working there. One of which was an anthropologist. He explained to me that the ancestors of Native Americans(excluding the Inuits) must have began their trek in the world starting in South America, sailing from Oceania. He said that the anthropological evidence makes it clear. Some of the oldest evidence of humans in the Americas were found in South America. He also explained that by examining the relative genetic diversity within gene pools across the continent, he deduced that the northern populations must have bottlenecked from the southern. He also pointed out that Native American populations share a genetic commonality with southeast Asian and Oceanian populations, particularly in the y-chromosome. There is even evidence that the Native America languages may have been influenced by Oceania. Indigenous South American languages pronounce “sweet potato” the same way as some Polynesian languages. Sweet potatoes grew in South America before Columbus. This plant is not native to the continent of South America, they come from Polynesia. Carbon dating shows they have grown in the America’s since at least 1000 AD. The westerlies blow from Oceania to South America. This could have been the current that carried humans to the new continent. I was hoping you could examine what the genetic evidence says about this theory.

But as far as I know, there is an older (currently the oldest) site found in North America. But, it always puzzled me the existence of the Mapuche Chicken (something similar to the sweet potato case you mention). The Mapuche, the major indigenous group in these latitudes of Chile and Argentina, bred a variety of chicken native to America (I call the Americas just America hehe) that has no tail bone and lays blue eggs. Once I read in a newspaper that apparently these chicken are relatated to polinesian chicken, suggesting contact or ancestry of South American indigenous groups with Polinesians. Also, the Mapuche language or Mapuzugun is still not classified in any language family, no one is certain about its origin.

@@FranKoPepez I mean it wouldnt be crazy to think that the polinesians went to S. America. Was'nt it them who built the statues on Easter islands?

The sweet potato was in southeast asia before it was in polynesian. I mean we all know polynesian derive from the Island southeast asias, no secret anymore. According to the anthropological Centers of the universities of Harvard, Stanford, Oxford and Canberra Austronesian people (Island South East Asians, Polynesians, Micronesians, Madagascar and many Amazonian Tribes) have the haplogroup O1a + O2a + the haplogroup e (one of the oldest haplogroups in the world only found in austronesian people). The first austronesian culture was the Hemudu Culture (6000 BCE) then the Liangzhu Culture (4500 BCE) on the coastal areas of china (not related to ethnic chinese or han chinese people but way older people who isolated themselves). These tribes travelled downward to Taiwan and settled there (Taiwanese Aboriginies), travelled further downward to the Philippines, Malaysia (Borneo), Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and from there into all the different Islands of the south pacific as far as the easter islands. Polynesians on the other Hand are up to 79% of austronesian descent and only up to 21% of melanesian descent.

I'm sure others have commented, but North American Inuit (Or Alaskan natives as they are called in the US) find the term Eskimo offensive. It is actually a native american (Algonquin) word not a colonial pejorative. However, Eskimo is the scientific word used by linguists to describe the larger people who inhabit the north and share a common language (This excludes the Sami of Lapland). Although often ignored by the Inuit, the Yupik people of Siberia share a common linguistic root and that larger people, made up of two distinct cultures (Inuit and Yupik) are Eskimos.

I'm very curious about them as well, same with Eskimo peoples because I'm not entirely sure of their ethnic origins. If you don't mind, can you please answer me some questions? - I've heard a million times that the Inuit arrived way later in the Americas compared to other natives, they could be seen as a different ethnicity, not a part of "Amerindians" or "First nations". However, there's similar groups to the Inuit as well and I wonder if it's true for them as well. The Yupik were called together with the Inuit "Eskimos", so I suppose they'd also be included, but the Aleut, which are also linguistic and cultural relatives? Are they the same Arctic "race"/ethnicity? I'd assume so, since the Yupik and Aleut still exist in Siberia too. - I've also heard sometimes that the Athabaskans also arrived later, so are they like the Eskimo people? A lot of them live in the Arctic and Subarctic too. Does this mean that Southeast Athabaskans like the Navajo are technically also descendents of these Arctic races/tribes?

[@thephilguy1]

The Inuit have been affected perhaps worse than any other indigenous group by European colonization. The Canadian government came in to the place in the mid 1900s and overnight forced a previously highly mobile and spread out group of people to settle in towns. Life is extremely expensive when depending on food that has to be grown and shipped thousands of kilometers up north. I've also heard from a professor who lived up there that there is a severe crisis of drugs and alcohol. Given how remote they were for much of history, they had almost no exposure to these things until very recently and so I can imagine would have a hard time coping. Still, there are some amazing cultural practices. They practice consensus government at a local level. They even opened a brewery to try to get people not to drink liquor, and they are working on opening a university in Nunavut. The narwhal hunt takes precedence over pretty much anything else, including legal proceedings. Life is very different and the environment forces you to adapt, so makes sense that most visitors prior to the introduction of modern technology would have been forced to assimilate into their culture to survive. PS - Really cool fact about their ability to process high amounts of fat that would be detrimental to anyone else. Keep making interesting videos like these!

The Amerindian DNA has around 30-40% of the Ancient North Eurasian DNA (who are a Caucasoid-like people).

Surviving in Cold Weather: Traditional Clothing: Inuit clothing is often made from animal skins and furs, which provide excellent insulation. The clothing is designed to keep warmth in while allowing some moisture to escape. Garments like parkas, boots, and mittens are essential. Shelters: Historically, Inuit built igloos from snow blocks for temporary shelter, which provided thermal insulation. They also used tents made from animal skins and other materials. Diet: The traditional Inuit diet is high in fat and protein, consisting primarily of marine mammals (like seals and whales), fish, and land animals (like caribou). These foods help provide the necessary energy to maintain body heat in harsh climates. Hunting and Gathering: Inuit are skilled hunters and fishers, utilizing tools like harpoons and sleds to hunt effectively. They often use the seasonal availability of animals and resources to ensure a stable food supply. Community and Knowledge Sharing: Knowledge of the land, weather patterns, and animal behaviors is passed down through generations. Strong community bonds and cooperation during hunting and gathering activities are vital for survival. Transport: Traditional means of transportation, such as dog sleds and qamutiik (sleds), allow them to travel across snowy landscapes, facilitating hunting and trade.
