>>507293948>Interesting, the only one that was a surprise. Kind of makes me wonder why this isn't more widely known.They were very impressive in general
They live on the ice and have basically only animals as a resource, no wood
They would make everything, clothes, bags, tools, from the animals they hunt
They invented discount sun glasses made out of bones (snow goggles seems to be the usual English name for them) (you can look at their art style on them)
The invented the modern impermeable jacket with a hood that has ropes going around the face to adjust the size of the opening
They made these anoraks out of waterproof animal organ layers, the stitching was excellent on the example I saw (you really see the difference in perfectionism and attention to detail between races)
Their main fur coats are still warmer than the best modern high tech clothes for the same weight
Including an invention about a very wide fur circle around the heat that is being investigated now, and increases heat around the face more than being completely covered up, from the way it diverts the wind
Kayaks and igloos too, pretty impressive to figure out you can make a warm house out of snow
Their art was always stylized, minimalist and geometrical, I really liked the aesthetic, it’s a mix between caveman stuff and high tech design
The natives of west coast North America (heida) are a different group and slightly different race, but they also have a very cool and advanced art style, it’s the red black and white designs you sometimes see
