The Arctic: Culture

Album Description:

The Arctic culture area stretches more than 5,000 miles of coast and tundra and encompasses four countries — Russia, Denmark (Greenland) Canada, and the U.S. It is is the aboriginal homeland of the Inuit and Yuit, often referred to as "Eskimos," who despite the geographical distance, share common social, linguistic, economic, and spiritual similarities.
