- The Arctic and Subarctic Region lies in northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. It stretches from the Bering sea in the Pacific Ocean to the Labrador Sea in the Atlantic Ocean and includes Hudson Bay.
- The land varies from the frozen tundra of the arctic circle to the boreal forest that lies south with its evergreen trees and flowering plants. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, are visible in the sky in these regions.
- While there is little vegetation on the frozen tundra of the arctic, there are many animals including seals, orca, otters, polar bears, caribou/reindeer, bald eagles, snow geese, wolves, hares, and foxes.

- CLOTHES AND INVENTIONS
- Igloos were temporary shelters that could house up to 20 people, made of packed snow and ice. The inside temperature could reach 60 degrees. In the summer, a Tipi was built using animal skins.
- Dogs pulled sleds, carried packs, and helped hunt. Hunters give many thanks to the “sea goddess” and other spirits before and after a hunt. No part of an animal was ever wasted.
- Clothing like coats, hats, and mukluks were made of fur. Snow goggles carved from wood, bone, or ivory protected eyes from the glare of the sun/snow. Dogsleds, kayaks, and umiaks were used for transportation and hunting.
