Arctic Culture

Arctic culture encompasses the customs, traditions, and ways of life of indigenous and local peoples who inhabit the Arctic region, such as the Inuit, Sami, and Chukchi. These communities adapt to extreme cold, long winters, and seasonal changes through specialized clothing, hunting, fishing, and storytelling practices. Their cultures emphasize close relationships with the environment, community cooperation, and respect for nature’s resources. Art, language, oral history, and spiritual beliefs are central elements that preserve their identity across generations. Despite modern influences, Arctic cultures maintain unique identities rooted in their environment and history.
