CultureMusic and DanceDrum dancing is a popular form of Inuit music. Traditionally, the singers (usually women) sat in a circle, while the men danced. Drum dancing was performed at gatherings and celebrations. Singing was also an important part of Inuit culture. Throat singing is a form of singing unique to the Inuit, usually performed by singers who face each other. Arts and CraftsInuit created art using the materials they had around them: soapstone, wood, ivory, baleen, skin, bone and antlers. Using these materials, they have carved and decorated everyday objects. Today, Inuit sell a variety of art all over the world, including stone carvings, drawings, paintings, prints, woven wall hangings and appliquéd coats.
