Who are the Inuit/Eskimos? World's Most Extreme Survivors 

During the middle to late 20th century, Alaska was becoming a major port (because USSR closes her airspace for most US planes) and oil-producer. And it's in the Pacific.

Thats true I’ve been to Alaska and was surprised that out of every US state I’ve been to the most Filipinos were in Alaska. I’m from Alberta Canada theres also a high Filipino population here

More Money, better opportunities, certainly very harsh climate compared to homeland

It’s not that crazy

The winter in south alaska/anchorage. Is not that cold. Its very similar to chicago/detroit/boston/vermount/upstate new york weather Because there is a warm pacific wind that warm the south part during winter. Its the same reaso. why vancouver isnt cold enough to get snow despite its further north then toronto montreal boston chicago detroit. Its because of that pacific warm winds The mountains area. And the northern part are very polar cold tho

@Da Boot But they never reached Antarctica (As far as we know, but very doubtful)

Masaman did a video on just such an alternate-historical Antarctica: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6QAEMAh2R6A.html&app=desktop

The water tribe was probably based off of the Inuit

The Mapuche, in what is now Chile, were big on fishing before colonization

Da Boot the yaghan definitely were strong af, they survived at cold temperatures being naked. But don’t forget the Southern Hemisphere isn’t as cold as the Northern Hemisphere (excluding the Antarctic on where nobody lives). Tierra del Fuego is cold but cold like Iceland, with temperatures moderated by the ocean, not cold like Canada or Siberia.

Interesting

in the woodpile means "in his ancestry"?

FranKoPepez Not really but in this case yeah. If you're learning English don't bother memorizing that because almost nobody says it.

I used to teach high school in Tuktoyaktuk. My preconceived notion of Inuit people being short and squat evaporated on the first day of class. Some of the boys were around 6'6", and some of the girls were close to 6'. They had surnames like Steen and Gruben, and the area had been a Norwegian whaling station since the late 19th century.

i’m half-Inuk and i’m about 6’5”, my dad is full-blood and around 6’1”. his father (according to him) was somewhere above 6’8”. crazy stuff!

Honestly, I know my family came from Europe, immigrated to Cuba, and most likely have some African blood cause of the Slave Trade, and when I did My Heritage DNA test, I got Europe, Nigeria, and what was weird was I got 1.5% Inuit. Like... damn. I've been trying to figure out how that's possible, as Spaniards never went so far north and Africans weren't enslaved so far north so I'm just so confused... maybe during the Viking Age as I do have some Irish and Scottish blood, so perhaps I had some ancestors who went to Greenland and then Northern Canada?

If your maternal haplogroup is A2, B2,C, D or even X2 than your maternal line is Native American. Mine is A2. My mother is from Central America. No matter if your ancestors are from North central or South America these maternal haplogroups come from the original peoples that populated the entire American continent.

The levels of plastic, heavy metals, and industrial pollutants winding up in the ocean is a shame (in every way, but especially in the context of the Inuit). Inuit are basically apex predators, so all those pollutants that build up as the food chain goes upwards wind up in them. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I've read articles that state that levels of heavy metals are so high in some samples of Inuit breast milk (for example), that the breast milk could itself be classified as hazardous waste.

Inuit wouldn’t accept it lol

It kinda sucks since there's no replacement. The definiton of Eskimo is Inuits and Yupiks who both descended from one people and speak similar languages. And Yupiks don't want to be called Inuit. It's not inclusive for them. Although the Aleuts also descended from the same people but linguistically they've diverged way more. So maybe I have some ideas : either you say that they're "Eskimoan speakers" to Inuits and Yupiks and "Eskaliut speakers" to Inuits, Yupiks and Aleuts (those words are kinda necessary for talking about specific history... When I hear something about the "Inuits" I can never know if it includes the Yupiks or not). Or maybe replace Eskimo with "Greater Inuit people" and Inuit with "Lesser Inuit people"

Especially since they're not only closely related people, they're technically even their own ethnicity or "race" different from ALL other indigenous people of the americas, since they arrived way later. BTW I've found an actually viable replacement : indigenous people of the American Arctic. But it seems not that much convinient.

Alaskan here. No, "Eskimo" is not a term that is used any longer. And if you do, you're showing how ignorant you are.

Really? Interesting. In Poland it's not pejorative at all. Same as "murzyn" for black ppl. On the other hand term "Cyganie" (gypsies) were pejorative and it was replaced with "Romowie".

@Ilannguaq Sakariassen Yeah,should learn own😊

You do realise that it's cultures, since the there's European and Asian arctic, too.

Extreme? Rapa Nui maybe for its small land area and large population at one point, but Tasmania must be one of the most temperate and benign environments on earth, surely!

Maybe Easter Island because of its isolation... polinesians who made it there never came back, and polinesians were ocean travelers. But, the island wasn't the harshest, it has a subtropical climate, what (probably) happened there is that the island resources were overexploited, although there are still controversies.

Lance Powers, your idea of extreme is mixed up. Extreme is related to harsh temp and pressured environments like the Arctic's ,deserts, volcanoes, mountains (like Everest with thin air), and even in outer space.

Yes! this would be a very interesting topic! I think the evidence you are talking about is the Monteverde site in south Chile, my country. But as far as I know, there is an older (currently the oldest) site found in North America. But, it always puzzled me the existence of the Mapuche Chicken (something similar to the sweet potato case you mention). The Mapuche, the major indigenous group in these latitudes of Chile and Argentina, bred a variety of chicken native to America (I call the Americas just America hehe) that has no tail bone and lays blue eggs. Once I read in a newspaper that apparently these chicken are relatated to polinesian chicken, suggesting contact or ancestry of South American indigenous groups with Polinesians. Also, the Mapuche language or Mapuzugun is still not classified in any language family, no one is certain about its origin.

@@FranKoPepez I mean it wouldnt be crazy to think that the polinesians went to S. America. Was'nt it them who built the statues on Easter islands? The Viking's sailed from Scandinavia to North america, so to sail from easter island at that time would be very possible. But in Scandinavia we also have these "native" looking tribes, called Samí. And our Samí people share alot of dna to the counter parts in North America, so they did atleast cross the landbridge at some point, either from NA to Europe, or the other way around. www.google.com/search?q=old+sami+people&tbm=isch&hl=sv&nfpr=1&hl=sv&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjo0IKVgZHrAhVXyioKHfySBysQBXoECAEQKQ&biw=1903&bih=1007#imgrc=O7Zo5VsbO0IyCM&imgdii=0e2AqdMUjs4NnM

The sweet potato was in southeast asia before it was in polynesian. I mean we all know polynesian derive from the Island southeast asias, no secret anymore. According to the anthropological Centers of the universities of Harvard, Stanford, Oxford and Canberra Austronesian people (Island South East Asians, Polynesians, Micronesians, Madagascar and many Amazonian Tribes) have the haplogroup O1a + O2a + the haplogroup e (one of the oldest haplogroups in the world only found in austronesian people). The first austronesian culture was the Hemudu Culture (6000 BCE) then the Liangzhu Culture (4500 BCE) on the coastal areas of china (not related to ethnic chinese or han chinese people but way older people who isolated themselves). These tribes travelled downward to Taiwan and settled there (Taiwanese Aboriginies), travelled further downward to the Philippines, Malaysia (Borneo), Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and from there into all the different Islands of the south pacific as far as the easter islands. Polynesians on the other Hand are up to 79% of austronesian descent and only up to 21% of melanesian descent.

I'm very curious about them as well, same with Eskimo peoples because I'm not entirely sure of their ethnic origins. If you don't mind, can you please answer me some questions? - I've heard a million times that the Inuit arrived way later in the Americas compared to other natives, they could be seen as a different ethnicity, not a part of "Amerindians" or "First nations". However, there's similar groups to the Inuit as well and I wonder if it's true for them as well. The Yupik were called together with the Inuit "Eskimos", so I suppose they'd also be included, but the Aleut, which are also linguistic and cultural relatives? Are they the same Arctic "race"/ethnicity? I'd assume so, since the Yupik and Aleut still exist in Siberia too. - I've also heard sometimes that the Athabaskans also arrived later, so are they like the Eskimo people? A lot of them live in the Arctic and Subarctic too. Does this mean that Southeast Athabaskans like the Navajo are technically also descendents of these Arctic races/tribes?

@@rickgrimes5441 50% ? That is too high, I think. All those 1000s years they must have mixed with locals and others. But still we share Siberian DNA with today's inuits. I hope. 🤞

@@enkhzayazundui1063 It's been shown on autosomal DNA tests that modern Inuit people are 50% Mongolian/Siberian Asiatic and 50% Amerindian. The eastern-most Siberian groups like the Yukaghir and Koryak have around 20-25% Amerindian DNA. The Amerindian DNA has around 30-40% of the Ancient North Eurasian DNA (who are a Caucasoid-like people). The ANE component is very little (or none) in Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians and most Siberians. The Inuit, however, do have some ANE DNA in them. Inuit people are closer to eastern Asiatics but they still draw a lot from Amerindian DNA. That is why some pure-blooded Inuit people have higher noses and deeper eye-sockets (like many Amerindian groups, especially North American Amerindian groups). This comes from the Amerindian DNA (and by derivation, from the ANE component).
