Inuit have an average intake of vitamin C of 13.5 mg per day.
That's what they achieve(d) by the vitamins in organs or stomach
contents of the prey.
Frederik pointed out which organs do have some vitamin C, spleen is best
(the spleen is a main imune organ in the body).

No higher primate has the ability to make vitamin C, including humans.

While 13.5mg may be enough for an Inuit  it would certainly at the
lowest boundary for a normal environment.
Inuit live nearly in absence of any germs or infection possibilities,
while in the rest of the world the high oxidative stress by chemicals
and sunlight and the high load of viruses and germs demand more.

Much more. Recommendation has been raised to 70mg recently and many
think that this is still a compromise.
In particular when compared to the very high intakes of huntergatherers
in the rest of the world.

Inuit are supposed to have a genetic adaption to the very low level of
Vitamin C. Likewise to the reduced level of imune activity due to the
high intake of EPA. High Vitamin E intake also spares on vitamin C
(E is the fat soluble antioxidant).

I don't think it's a good idea to model one's diet after the Inuit,
without having the Inuit living environment.
No germs - little sunlight - very high long chain EFAs  - all food
uncooked and fresh.

Btw: all necessary vitamins are in meat... I checked that for various
meats. It's true, above some 3 lbs of meat per day if some liver is
included. Whith the exception of vitamin C and B1.
