Compare And Contrast Caribu And Inuit Living In Canada

You will probably will start reading this and think oh it's just about Canada , not very interesting you're thinking. But believe me it is. The Inuit and Sioux and also Haida all lived in Canada they are alike in many ways and also different in many ways .
The Sioux and Haida and Inuit are living in Canada.The Inuit and Sioux both eat caribou. Caribou for the Inuit is also a name for them its called Caribou Inuit, they lived southernmost of central Inuit. The Sioux tried to ambush the buffalo,bison, caribou. But in the end they both ate caribou either way. The Sioux tried to match up with Blackfoot and tried to ambush the animals, but with the Inuit they had matched up with some Indian tribes to hunt and fine caribou and bison. Inuit and
Souix both believe the same way. Sioux just believed that there was just one sprite which is called the “ Great spirit”, but with Inuit they believed every little thing was a sprite to a rock to a tree anything but all named the same called the ‘’Great sprite’’. Because the Sioux believed that there was only sprite they had thought it was just nature. Which Inuit believed everything has a sprite which part of that is a part of nature which that's why it is so important to their daily life. Sioux and Inuit religion is very important to their daily life. Inuit believed in atheism,the only people that were strong enough to control the sprite are the powerful religious leaders they were called in two different ways. Shammoms or Angakos. The people who were blessed were called almost like a special name they were called Shammoms and it was received from the “Great sprite”. So in the end they both believe in the same spriet just different thoughts.

The Sioux artwork was a beautiful piece. They had made lots of work but one that stands out is quillwork, what they made out of it was gloves which had been used for cold times in the season or even hot supplies, they had also made bands which almost look like headbands. It is apart of their culture.They both had artwork put on to them which they had made by barrie juice. Sioux weapons, was a worrier sleid it was made out of toughened hide and has been painted. Another weapon that had been used was a tomahawk, it could be used for a peace offering.
