"We are advised today that Inuit never really had laws or 'maligait'. Why? They state because they are not written in some recoverable format. When I think of paper, I think you can rip it up, and the laws are gone. The laws of the Inuit aren't in some recoverable format." - Mariano Aupilaarjuk In the "Trail of Tears" to Wounded Leg and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete with no addition of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before Western settlers found its way to the 16th and 17th generations. Because the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders using their history, vocabulary, and culture. In Charles River Editors' Indigenous North american Tribes series, listeners can get swept up to rate on the annals and culture of North America's most well-known indigenous tribes in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. North Americans have always been fascinated by the Inuit, but this degree of interest has been matched by a general lack of understanding of the group itself. For years and years, they are called Eskimos, even though there are unique variations within the group and most of them find the use of the word Eskimo offensive. Having said that, the group's lifestyle is definitely appealing to outsiders simply predicated on the fact that it is so different. The Inuit are in tough Arctic climates in Canada, America, Russia, and even Greenland, and they are descendants of the very people who historians believe crossed the landbridge that once linked Russia to Alaska thousands of years ago.
