Ipiutak

The Ipiutak lived by the Bering Straight about 2200 years BP (Before Present), in buried houses with floors and foundations. They had multiple adaptative strageties with new approaches coming in from cultures in Siberia. The Ipiutak are known for exotic carvings made out of ivory. Not only were their carvings known as exotic ones, but also known for carvings used in superficial burials. The Ipiutak Indians were also good hunters, besides being gifted in the arts and crafts. This culture hunted both on the land and on the sea. On the land they hunted caribou, the most important food in their culture. To hunt these animals they used points set with ends of flint points or blades.
