Inuit Cultural Heritage

Inuit cultural heritage encompasses the unique traditions, practices, stories, and knowledge passed down by Indigenous Arctic peoples. It includes their language, art, hunting techniques, navigation, and social customs developed to thrive in harsh Arctic environments. These cultural elements foster community identity, resilience, and a deep connection to the land and wildlife, especially marine mammals. Preservation of Inuit heritage is vital for maintaining their cultural identity and ensuring future generations continue their rich traditions and knowledge systems.
