This is the issue we will be covering. No one copy us!!!!!

We're also editing the wikibooks article on the Inuit. This is our info so far:

Inuit valued anything made of iron because the material was more durable than stone, bone or ivory that was customarily used in making hunting weapons and tools. Iron items were distributed along the coast through an inter-group trade network linking Inuit place-groups which occupied specific territories extending northward to the tip of the Labrador peninsula.


 * Early History:**

The Inuit's history was first recorded when they conquered the previous people, the Tuniit, when they started moving east from Alaska, across the Arctic circle at around 1000 AD. The Inuit reached the Atlantic Ocean around 1400 AD. They had an advantage over the other groups who had settled in the region because they had dogs and boats. Because of the Little Ice Age happening around 1408 AD, the Inuit were forced to move to souther Greenland in search of food. By that time, the Inuit were struggling with their main way of living. The weather made it too icy to hunt whales in the norther Arctic, and they could not afford to live in houses of sod like they had before. Instead, they were forced to travel farther and farther down south and had to live in tents and igloos for most of the time. By 1500 AD, the Inuit had reached southern Labrador, and started their new life.
