Indigenous Arctic communities

Indigenous Arctic communities are the original peoples of the Arctic region, including groups like the Inuit, Sámi, and Chukchi. They have rich cultures and traditions shaped by the harsh northern environment, relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering for sustenance. These communities often have deep spiritual connections to the land and sea, and their knowledge is passed down through generations. Today, they face challenges from climate change, modernization, and cultural preservation, yet they continue to advocate for their rights and maintain their unique identities while navigating the complexities of contemporary life.
