{"product_id":"9781771004480","title":"People of the Ice","description":"The Eskimo-or Inuit as they prefer to be called-are scattered throughout the vast northern regions of North America and Greenland. Theirs is a hostile land with a fierce Arctic climate, yet the Inuit have survived for centuries. More than any other native group, they depended on hunting and fishing for survival: food, heat and light, clothing, shelter, means of transport, tools and weapons-even drinking water, for in winter, animal fat had to be burned to melt snow.\u003cp\u003eThis book describes and illustrates how the Inuit built their igloos, kayaks and sledges; made their clothing and prepared their food; played games and carved beautiful objects from soapstone, and, of course, how they hunted and fished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeather Smith Siska is a freelance writer who has published school textbooks and articles in children's magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan Bateson, a freelance artist, illustrated People of the Trail and People of the Longhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas and McIntyre (2013) Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047512621296,"sku":"9781771004480","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771004480_p0.jpg?v=1763707133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771004480","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
