Inuit communities

Northern indigenous settlements

Inuit communities are settlements and social groups of the Inuit, the Indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Russia.

These communities maintain distinct cultural traditions, languages, and ways of life adapted to harsh northern environments, including hunting, fishing, and close ties to the land and sea.

The phrase often appears in discussions of Indigenous rights, climate change impacts, and self-governance in the circumpolar north.
