· A few things I've found is that there are two indigenous people to cold climates around Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. One is the Yupik, and the other is Inuit. Both seem the same to me, except for geography.

o Anyways Pocahontas is useless. She swims in a shaven log (which I doubt the reality of it working)

o But anyways, I looked up the Umiak,http://www.wou.edu/provost/library/exhibits/exhibits2007-08/Wayward/Images/umiak.jpg

o The boats Anna was talking about.

o Here's a modern view of what they would look like, being usedhttp://kleighd.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/inuit.jpg

· Flint steel

o Kinda fun to look at

o So, I have found a few things when it comes to my research topics

o First, I found a perfect video describing how flint steel works.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RujU7rhNrjk

o One thing I've learned about boats that go to the arctic shelf that they were very similar to your average boats, but the bottom of the boat was flat, so it could glide on the ice, then crack it. I think this might be similar to how it was, back then

o The only natives I found were in early Canada, and they lived in fur tents, with clothes like this: http://www.uscg.mil/history/img/natives1.jpg
