Tuniit (Pre-Inuit people)

The Tuniit were an ancient indigenous people who inhabited the Arctic regions of Canada and Greenland before the arrival of the Inuit. They are believed to have lived there thousands of years ago, with archaeological evidence indicating they were skilled hunters and fishermen, relying on marine mammals and arctic game. The Tuniit's culture and origins remain somewhat mysterious, as they largely disappeared or were absorbed into later cultures like the Inuit. Their presence highlights the long history of human adaptation and resilience in extreme Arctic environments.
