The lives of the Inuit people in North America have undergone significant changes over the past 50 years. First and foremost, their name has changed from Eskimos to Inuits, which means "the people". In the past, they used to live in igloos during the winter, but now many live in houses in small towns. They used to hunt seals for their meat and to make clothes from the fur. Even today, many Inuits still wear seal-skin clothes because they provide excellent warmth in the extremely cold weather that lasts for many months of the year.80-year-old Inuit, Mariano Tagalik, recently shared a few memories of her early life. "Our winter igloos were very warm. We cooked inside, so sometimes it got too hot. When I was a child, I used to take off most of my clothes when I was in our igloo. During the short summers, we lived in seal-skin tents, but I spent as much time as possible playing outside."To move over the snow, Inuits traditionally used special snowshoes on their feet. However, nowadays, many Inuits use snowmobiles, which allow them to travel long distances in a short time. In the past, it took them days or even weeks to travel the same distance.
