Alaska, the largest state of the USA, will definitely impress the traveller
with spectacular landscapes and a unique climate. But if you met the
inhabitants, you would realise that Alaska offers more than just pretty
views. It also gives visitors a fascinating opportunity to meet wonderful
people and a culture very different from their own.
One of the many peoples of Alaska are the Inupiat, who live in the
north and north-western areas of the state. Most Inupiat people live
in small villages that have been around for hundreds of years. Others
Barrow, temperatures can drop to -49oC in winter! Also, because North Alaska is very close to the North Pole, it is
completely dark for more than two months in winter, and between May and August, there is constant daylight.
The Inupiat are peaceful people with a lot of respect for the environment and their traditions. Inupiat villagers rely
on hunting and salmon fishing for their survival. Their prey is normally caribou*, fish, especially salmon*, and
whales.* While the men go hunting or fishing, the women either work or stay at home and make warm clothes
for their family. Sharing is very important for the Inupiat and when the men catch a whale, each member of the
community will be given some.
Alaska is a special place, and it makes visitors wish they could go back. Some say it’s the land of diversity. One thing
is for sure: you’ve never seen anything like it.
