When
it is about the Eskimo tribes, there
is nothing that can avoid us from thinking how unique they are. However, from
the many unique aspects of Eskimo tribes’ lives, there is a distinct shared uniqueness
of Eskimo tribes that many of us have not realized before. Before we get there,
I think we should know a bit more about them.
Eskimo Tribes of the World and Dispersion
The Eskimo tribes are, actually, the most
dispersed tribal group who still leads an aboriginal lifestyle, although
partly. Up to more than three thousand miles are inhabited by the Eskimo tribes.
This area includes Greenland, the northern edge of the North America, and a
part of eastern Siberia. They are very closely related to the eastern Asia’s
Mongolian people. The Eskimo tribes can be divided into the two thousand
Siberian Eskimos living near the Strait of Bering, the twenty five thousand
Alaskan Eskimos, the ten thousand Central Eskimos living in the northern
Canada, the three thousand Labrador Eskimos, and the ten thousand Greenland
Eskimos.Eskimo Tribes of the World and the Distinct Uniqueness
The
overall population of Eskimo tribes has remained rather constant over the
centuries even though the specific number of each tribe has been somewhat
unstable. The 1999 census showed that there were 57,153 Eskimos living in the
United States only. This is where they are unique as a group of tribes coming
from one descendant: in spite of the size of the areas they tribes are living
in, not once the Eskimo tribes state to belong to certain nation. They do not
possess any national and not even a very well defines sense of tribe. They
emphasize more on locality and family rather than on land and territory
associations.
And
despite the commonly believed misconception, the members of Eskimo tribes are
not Indians transformed. The languages of Eskimo-Aleut are not related to any
American Indian groups of language. So we may as well check our fact on our
knowledge about the Eskimo tribes.
