While studying NW Indian art it was noted that there are four regions with four different art styles.  The North Coast Region appears to only reach about half way up the coast of Alaska beyond that it becomes Eskimo territory with what appears to be an entirely different art style.

"Eskimo" is an American Indian word which translates to "eater of raw meat". Ironically, scientists put the Indians in a separate anthropological category while the Eskimos are considered more closely related to the natives of northern Asia. The people we call Eskimos originally came from Asia across a land bridge (which no long exists) into northern North America (now call Alaska). They gradually spread across the Artic regions. There are approximately 1,500 Eskimos living in the Soviet Union and about 50,000 in Greenland.

Alaska is a huge state, and the seasons are different in SE Alaska (Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, etc.) than they are in the interior or on the north slope.\n\nMy expertise is SE Alaska, where it tends to be rainy much of the year, and seasons are somewhat moderate, with some nice warm temps in the summer, and snowfall that turns to slush (see rain comment) in the winter.

Canada is so new, it can't be the first multicultural country. You should study the past empires.

The First Source Shows an animation of the glacier that covered North America.\n\nSecond Source - 6th paragraph says the path of the traveling peoples had to be among the rocky mountains.  This makes an educated guess that the glacier stopped at the Rocky Mountains.\n\nThe Third source, last paragraph, talks about the glacier causing the geological area and shape of the Calgary area to be formed by a glacier over Millions of years.

I think you meant "eskimos."  \nI don't know if there is any special name for such a stick, but how is this in any way related to Etiquette?

The Arctic and Antarctic are literally poles apart. While they share some characteristics, such as high latitude, cold and remoteness, they also exhibit significant differences. The Arctic is dominated by a large deep central ocean surrounded by land masses. The Antarctic is a large, partially ice-covered land mass surrounded by ocean. \n\nEnvironmental Differences: \nThe Arctic has trees but Antarctic does not\nAntarctica is a continent land mass but the Arctic is a sea with edges of other countries in the Arctic circle.. \nThe Arctic has indigenous people and the Antarctic doesn't. \nThe Arctic has tundra but not the Antarctic\n\nWeather differences: \nAntarctic has strong winds but the Arctic has mild winds. \nAntarctica is colder and windier than the Arctic\n\nAnimal and Plant Life differences: \nThe Arctic has polar bears and the Antarctic does not. \nThe Antarctic has penguins and the Arctic doesn't. \nThe Antarctic has no trees. \nThe Arctic has Tundra with rich plant life in Spring and Summer. \nAntarctic has algae but not the Arctic. \nAntarctica has mainly calm animals but the Arctic has some fierce ones\n\n\nHuman Activity Differences: \nThe Arctic has Eskimos and Antarctica does not. \nThe Arctic has igloos and Antarctica does not. \nLong ago, Laps and Eskimos used the northern polar region but nobody lived in the southern polar region. \nThere are towns in the Arctic but not in Antarctica - just research bases. \nAntarctica wasn`t found for a long time when the Arctic was already found. \nWhen the sea is free from the ice in summer in the Arctic the hunter goes after seals.

Neither Borneo (divided between Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia) nor Antarctica (claimed but officially unowned) are countries. And by some definitions, neither is Greenland (partly dependent on Denmark).\n\nI'm just from Canada. We like to gripe that it's 'lesser known', but not in the way that you mean :)

The Inuit, Inuit Indians, Inuit tribe, Eskimos - which name is correct?\nSome call them the Inuit Indians or the Inuit tribe and even more commonly, Eskimos. As an Inuit art gallery we hear these terms used all the time. This page has been created to help educate people as to who the Inuit are and to help build an appreciation for these wonderful people and their amazing artistic ability. \n\nThe Inuit people are the most widely dispersed group in the world still leading a partly aboriginal way of life. They live in a region that spans more than 3,500 miles. This region includes Greenland, the northern fringe of North America, as well as a sector of eastern Siberia. Inuit are racially distinct from the North American Indians. In fact, the Inuit are closely related to the Mongolian peoples of eastern Asia. The Inuit - Aleut languages are unrelated to any American Indian language groups. At no time did the Inuit possess a national or well - defined tribal sense. The Inuit emphasis was always on the local and familial group rather than on associations based on land and territory. The terms Inuit Indians, the Inuit Indians, Inuit tribe and Eskimo are not the correct names for these kind and gentle people. Inuit simply means 'The People' in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit and Inuit is the name they wish to be known by. Inuit - their rightful name, replaces 'Eskimo' a term based on a Algonkian word meaning 'eaters of raw flesh.' In the words of Jose Kusugak, president of Inuit Tapirisit Kanatami, an organization that represents Inuit from Labrador to the Northwest Territories:\n\n"In Canada and America we are trying to make people understand that we are a distinct people and not Indians... We want them to understand that Inuit work real hard to get children educated and make sure they hold on to their culture." \n\nThe Inuit population was approximately 50,000 at the time of the first widespread contact with Europeans. An estimated 2,000 Siberian Inuit lived near the Bering Strait, the Alaskan Inuit numbered about 25,000. The Central Eskimos who inhabited northern Canada numbered about 10,000. The Labrador Inuit totalled about 3,000, while the Inuit on Greenland totalled about 10,000. \n\nThe terms "aboriginal" or "native" people apply not only to the Inuit, but to the North American Indians, and Métis. The term "First Nations" however refers only to Indians.\n\nThere are three distinct aboriginal groups in Canada :\n\n* North American Indians (population: 554,290)\n\n * Métis (population: 210,190)\n\n * Inuit (population: 41,080)\n\n(Source: 1996 Census of Canada) \n\nMuch of the attention the Inuit people and their culture receives has been brought about as a result of their tremendous skill as artists, particularly as stone carvers, printmakers and recently creators of jewellery. Inuit art was first brought to the attention of the world outside of the North by James Houston in the late 1940's. James Houston also taught the Inuit people how to make prints. Today, the Inuit support themselves primarily through the sale of their art. In the award winning documentary film "Songs in Stone" which was shot primarily on Baffin Island, James Houston recollects that historic moment when he first received a stone carving as a gift from an Inuit man.

I suppose you could research the history of each state - some borders are obvious (rivers), while others are lines of latitude and longitude. Once you get past that, there probably aren't many other reasons.

I think what you are asking is which states do not border a lake or an ocean - I sure am glad you didn't include rivers.\n\nExclude all the states on the Atlantic coast, Pacific coast, and Gulf of Mexico. Also exclude the states that border the Great Lakes. And of course exclude Hawaii.\n\nWith these directions and a decent map, you are in business.

The 60°N line runs through southern Alaska. All the other states are well south of that line.

i don't know what that is. I just looked at a bunch of native american symbols online, and it doesn't seem to to be in the same artistic vein. I wish I could help you.

I wouldn't say they discovered these but they did encounter the Mississippi River, Missouri River, Columbia River, Pacific Ocean (I think the Great Salt Lake).  Land Masses?  Oregon, Colorado, Missouri, I don't know what you mean by land masses: North America?  They were looking for the Northwest Passage: a waterway from the east coast to the west coast but alas they had to travel on some land.

Lived there for awhile and its tough to find a good time especially during summer time but there is some stuff to do. there is always Eskimo Joe's but its ok. the best advice is to take the short drive to Tulsa and do something there. plenty of art stuff and clubs and just better scenery.

It's definitely not in California. I'll guess that because of being a bit more northern, Washington would be more affordable than Oregon, but not much.

I think it's a stretch to compare Alaska to colonies.  No one is pointing a gun at Alaska and saying what its people can and can't do, whereas in European colonies in the past, peoples' lives were pretty much run by their oppressors.  And if I recall correctly, Alaska gets quite a bit of pork out of Washington.  \n\nI also think that from an environmental and economic standpoint, we may be losing more than we gain by going after Alaskan natural resources.
