Circumpolar Peoples

Circumpolar Peoples are indigenous groups living in regions near the Earth's North Pole, such as parts of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Scandinavia, and Russia. They have adapted to cold climates, relying on hunting, fishing, and herding for their livelihood. These communities share cultural traits and histories shaped by harsh environments and long periods of isolation. Their ways of life often include unique languages, traditions, and knowledge about Arctic ecosystems. Circumpolar Peoples work together across borders to preserve their cultures and address environmental and social challenges faced in the Arctic region.
