Inuit are the Indigenous people who live in the North.
Used to be called ‘Eskimo’- disparaging term from French Esquimaux, from
Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe’. Montagnais, or Innu, are
the Indigenous inhabitants of an area they refer to as Nitassinan, which
comprises most of the northeastern portion of the present-day province of
Quebec and some eastern portions of Labrador.

the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, including the

Creator of the world, but it is also considered a trickster god.

-the creator Raven, responsible for bringing the world into being
and who is sometimes considered to be the individual who brought light to the
darkness
-the childish
raven, always selfish, sly, conniving, and hungry
