The traditional diet of the Inuit is shaped by the Arctic environment, which is characterized by cold temperatures and limited vegetation. As a result, their diet relies on animal sources for sustenance. Traditional Inuit foods include caribou, which are hunted in the summer with bows and arrows; seals, which are hunted with harpoons on ice or from kayaks; fish; and whales, which are hunted using umiaks (large boats).
