Who are the Inuit?

  1. The original settlers of Australia

  2. The indigenous people of New Zealand

  3. The native people of South America

  4. The people living in small, scattered communities across the Arctic

The correct answer is: The people living in small, scattered communities across the Arctic

The Inuit are not the original settlers of Australia (A), as those inhabitants are typically known as Aboriginal Australians, not Inuit. Similarly, they are not the indigenous people of New Zealand (B), as that group is known as the Māori. While the Inuit do have distinct cultural practices and languages, they are not the native people of South America (C), as they primarily inhabit regions within the Arctic. The Inuit, also known as Eskimo, live in small, scattered communities across the Arctic and are primarily found in Canada, Greenland, and the United States. They have a rich history, culture, and way of life that is closely tied to their Arctic environment.
