"Eskimo" is an American Indian word which translates to "eaters of raw meat."There are two main types of Eskimo : Yupik and Inuit. The Yupik language dialects and cultures in Alaska and eastern Siberia have evolved in place beginning with the original (pre-Dorset) Eskimo culture that developed in Alaska. The earliest known Eskimo cultures were Pre-Dorset Technology, which appear to have been a fully developed Eskimo culture that dates to 5,000 years ago.Eskimos lived in some of the world's coldest areas near the Arctic Circle. The weather is so cold that they wear animal skinned provided clothes, especially caribou because of its warm and lightweight quality.One of the amazing things for Eskimos is a Dog Sledge, which technique had been used since 10th Century. As they live
on snow or ice, a wheel-less vehicle, i.e. a dog sledge pulled by d
ogs is like the main transportation. Racing sled dogs will travel up to an average 20 mph (32 km/h) over distances up to 25 miles (40 km). But, to be able to use those dogs as sled dogs, they also need to be trained. Since dog sledges are very useful for those people, sled-dog-teams are also put in a great care. But, nowadays, sled dogs can also be found in cold countries like Germany and Japan.Labels: Posted by Aung
