Book Synopsis The Inuit Dog by : Ian Kenneth MacRury
Download or read book The Inuit Dog written by Ian Kenneth MacRury and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The provenance of the Inuit dog is explored from known occurrences of faunal remains in paleoinuit archeological sites which support the presence of the breed in the Arctic to c.2000 BP. From a review of "hunter-gatherer" cultures worldwide and a knowledge of the essential role played by the Inuit dog in Inuit culture in the historic period it is postulated that the breed has been resident in the Arctic concurrent with all known human occupants. The relationship of the Inuit dog to the wolf is investigated through anatomical comparisons, behavioural considerations and Inuit dog-keeping practices. A conclusion asserts that there is no firm evidence to support the common contention of regular breeding between the two species and much information suggests that the Inuit dog is no more closely related to the wolf than any other breed of dog. The Inuit dog displays special characteristics as a consequence of living in a polar environment. The breed's pelage, behaviour, size, nutrition and health issues are each reviewed to reveal their contribution to the unique adaptation which has allowed this animal to thrive in its natural habitat. The history of the Inuit dog in terms of its contribution to Inuit culture and to geographic and scientific exploration in the polar regions is traced. The declining use of dogs in polar transport has led to the substantial reduction of Inuit dog populations throughout its arctic habitat"--Page ii.

Forward presented by Robert E. Peary."In short, Matthew Henson, next to Commander Peary, held and still holds the place of honor in the history of the expedition that finally located the position of the Pole, because he was the best man for the place. During twenty-three years of faithful service, he had made himself indispensable. From the position of a servant, he rose to that of companion and assistant in one of the most dangerous and difficult tasks that was ever undertaken by men. In extremity, when both the danger and the difficulty were greatest, the Commander wanted by his side the man upon whose skill and loyalty he could put the most absolute dependence and when that man turned out to be black instead of white. The Commander was not only willing to accept the service, but was at the same time generous enough to acknowledge it.

Download or read book Northern Inuit Dog written by Chad Bruno and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Inuit Dog is a type of canine that looks very similar to a wolf. They are a hybrid of the Siberian Husky, the Alaskan Malamute, and the German Shepherd that was created in the 1980s in the United Kingdom. The plan was to develop a domestic dog that looked like a wolf but had a more manageable and trainable personality, making it ideal for homes with children. With their thick double coats, erect ears, and bushy tails, Northern Inuit Dogs are often likened to wolves. They make excellent companion animals because of their pleasant demeanor, loyalty, and social nature. Notable kennel clubs, such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and The Kennel Club (UK), do not recognize the Northern Inuit Dog as a breed. It remains a relatively rare and unofficial breed. Because they were used to portray the direwolves of House Stark, these dogs are sometimes linked to the "Game of Thrones" TV series. Their popularity was boosted by their striking appearance and the show's association with it, but prospective owners should proceed with caution before committing to one. Their large size and high energy output may not be suitable for all households. Before adopting a dog of this breed, it is important to study up on what the breed requires and how it behaves.
Book Synopsis The Arctic, the Inuit, and the Polar Bear by : Dave Hill
Download or read book The Arctic, the Inuit, and the Polar Bear written by Dave Hill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic,The Inuit and the Polar Bear,is a account of the most unexpected and incredible experience that I had ever had,living with three Inuits well within the Arctic circle.I became part of their extended family and for three weeks I worked,slept and ate with them,eating Inuit food,which is high in protein and fat and low in carbohydrates.I had to adapt to their diet,culture and to twenty four hours of daylight.this was very hard to do as there is no dawn or dusk to indicate the start and finish of each day. None of this was planned,it seemed like fate that I was destined to go,and celebrate my sixtieth birthday in a remote part of the world and if I had learned about it earlier in Life I would have jumped in with both feet at such an opportunity. I learned first hand of how they cope with a complete change in their lifestyle from being a nomadic race to learning to live in the twenty first century by white man's rules.In days gone by they were completely self sufficient but now they have to buy products from the 'south' such as clothes,snowmobiles and white man's food which has not done them any favours and has introduced obesity among other illnesses.They now have to earn money to pay their way in our world,and in their environment it is very difficult to do. The hunt was very difficult and all of us were working over eighteen hours each day and only sleeping when we were exhausted.At first it was difficult to realise that the temperatures were down to minus forty as the sky was blue and the sunshine made it appear warm but if you removed your gloves you could get frostbite within minutes. After a two day journey on snowmobiles pulling our sledges from Arctic Bay to the hunting grounds,we made base camp and from then on we reverted to using the dog sleighs,this was truly unbelievable and was exciting to say the least,it was remarkable how these dogs performed,they did all that their master asked of them and even more.How the could work as hard as they did on the minimum of food astounded me,any other dog would have died. For the first time in my life I was living with true hunters,these guy do it not for sport but for pure necessity,they needed food to survive.They were true masters of their art.At the start of our hunting day we released the dogs from their chains and harnessed them to their sledge in readiness to start our daily routine,which often lasted eighteen hours before we returned to camp and tied the dogs to their chains,where they stayed until the next day. To be free in such a pristine and frozen wilderness and be as one with nature is something that I would love to repeat,it was a remarkable twenty one days,we started from Arctic Bay as three Induits with their client,after two days I was part of the team and returned as close friends,I was now part of their family and will remain so for ever,I can't wait to go back in the summer and learn about how they survive and prepare for the winter to come.
