Inupiat (or Eskimo) have occupied the northern most point of Alaska for approximately 1500 years, hunting on the ice. European explorers were encountered in the mid 1800s and today the region is 50% native. Clothing made from caribou offers protection against the temperatures which can drop to -18C.
This card is part of a booklet exploring polar life and was sent by a Postcrosser in Texas.
