Iroquois Compare And Contrast
Today I will compare the Inuit the Haida and the Iroquois.

One thing different about all of them is they live in different places in Canada. The Inuit live in the current day northwest territories, Haida in current day British Columbia and Iroquois live in current day Ontario.

Another thing different is their housing. Inuit live in igloos, Haida live in teepees, and Iroquois live in stationary long houses. Another thing that is the same is they all hunt except Iroquois farm and hunt. The Inuit hunt narwhals and seals, The haida fish, and the Iroquois hunt buffalo.

Third, somthing different between one on two is the Inuit only hunted, but the haida gathered plants and hunted, and so did the Iroquois, but the Iroquois farmed not so much

Others wanted to move because they felt that if they did not, then the United States territory would override the Cherokee customs and they would have to follow United States laws.

The Inuit religion of the past was centered on myths, rituals and beliefs. The Inuit religion of today has changed from worshiping and praying to several spiritual Gods to worshiping only God the Father in Heaven.
