What did the Inuit do for entertainment?

Answer 1

The Inuit tell stories of spirits and mythical creatures, having a rich oral tradition. They also sing, dance, and carve things out of bone or stone. Additionally, they engage in many modern forms of entertainment, such as watching television.

Answer 2

Here are rules that needed to be followed in order to appease the spirits:

• Women were not allowed to sew caribou skins inside igloos on sea ice during the winter.
• The Inuit people did not eat sea mammal and land mammal meat at the same meal.
• A knife used for killing whales had to be wrapped in sealskin, not caribou skin.
• After killing a seal, melted snow had to be dripped into its mouth to quench the spirit's thirst.
• The Inuit saved the bladder of the hunted animals, because the belief was that the spirit was found inside.

These rules would be re-enforced during the ceremonies. If a person had broken one of these rules in the past year, the offender would be sacrificed, his/her heart ripped out, stuffed into their own mouth, and beaten with clubs. If the offense was a minor one, the offender would pay a three sealskin fine and continue.
