I'm not an expert on Inuit culture and don't pretend to be. My point was
simply that if you live in a northern Arctic environment and have little or
no technology, a hunter-gatherer lifestyle is really the only one that is
possible. I'm not suggesting that the Inuit life is easy. Arctic weather is
no doubt very rough for humans. Your previous message seemed to suggest that
traditional Inuit had/have dietary and lifestyle options don't seem
realistic in an Arctic environment.
