The Arctic is a vast and hostile land, yet the Inuit have survived for centuries, developing skills and techniques integral to their culture and way of life.

This book describes and illustrates sophisticated traditional Inuit techniques for building igloos, kayaks and sledges; making warm clothing and preparing sustaining food; hunting and fishing as well as creating beautiful carved objects.
