Eskimos used every part of an animal. What they didn't eat they turned into clothes or tools or building materials. They even made fine thread from the fibers in bird feathers. All around these two pages you'll find inventions that helped Eskimos to live in the Arctic.
Eskimos invented little skin shoes to protect their dogs' feet when they had to travel over sharp ice.
Eskimos often hung skin linings inside snow houses. This kept the snow from melting and made the house much warmer.
Eskimos fastened waterproof jackets tight to their kayaks. They could turn over in the water without getting anything but their faces and hands wet.
