Inuits spreading across arctic
The inuits were believed to come from Asia to North america. the inuits were belonged to the mongol race, but they are taller and has ovalfaces. They have straight black hair, brown eyes, cheek bones wide and wide face. The babies of the inuits have this small blue patch at the bottom of their spines, but they dissapears after one or two years. This blue patch proves that the inuits came from mongol because only mogolians have blue patched at the end of their spine.
Although there are many inuit languages, inuit spoke mostly inuktitut which is not related to other languages around the globe. The special things about this language is that all the words are linked in to one sentence that has no spaces between the words. so the word he sat down changed into hesatdown. The inuits did not have any languages before 19th century but kept all their knowledge in their heads, such as story telling, drawing, and carving.
The calendar of the inuit is very specially made. The year is divided into thirteen periods of twenty eight days each. And all the calandar was done by moon because the moon could been seen more than the sun up in the arctic. Moreover, istead of calling first month and second month, they called it like cold month and warm month.
