Question

How did the arctic and subarctic cultures differ?

Answer 1

The Arctic Culture Area encompasses the coastal and inland areas of the Arctic Circle inhabited by Eskimos and the Aleutian Islands of the Aleut peoples. These two groups, Eskimos and Aleuts, are related groups that probably separated about 1,000 BCE. The Subarctic Culture Area stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic shore in Alaska and Canada. The Subarctic is defined primarily by vegetation, particularly coniferous forests and wetlands.

Answer 2

The Arctic Culture Area encompasses the coastal and inland areas of the Arctic Circle inhabited by Eskimos and the Aleutian Islands of the Aleut peoples. These two groups, Eskimos and Aleuts, are related groups that probably separated about 1,000 BCE. The Subarctic Culture Area stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic shore in Alaska and Canada. The arctic region sits inside the Arctic Circle and the subarctic region lies just below it. Earth’s arctic and subarctic regions are extremely cold, icy areas of land and sea that receive almost no sunlight during their long, dark winters.

The Subarctic region consists largely of a five million square kilometre zone of boreal forest extending from the arctic tundra south to the mountains, plains and deciduous forest in the mid-section of Canada. More than any other factor, the reindeer and its domestication lend some cultural unity to the Arctic region as a whole, as well as distinguish it from the North American Arctic and subarctic, where the reindeer (or caribou) remains wild
