Rasmussen wrote that there is scarcely any country on earth that present conditions more severe and inclement for man than the most easterly parts of the Northwest Passage. Yet there the Netsilik Eskimos for generations knew how to wage the struggle for existence, in such a manner that strangers coming among them would involuntarily receive the impression that here was a people who desired no better hunting grounds than these, the very ones where their ancestors developed that special culture which they have faithfully handed down from father to son. But as some of the extracts show, life could be extremely grim.

They speak dialects of the same language, Eskimo, which is a major branch of the Eskimo-Aleut family of languages. Their antiquity is unknown, but it is generally agreed that they were relatively recent migrants to the Americas from NE Asia, spreading from west to east over the course of the past 5,000 years.
