	Copper Eskimo
		All of the eskimo tribes that inhabited the Arctic coastline from the Bering Sea to Greenland, and the Chukehi Peninsula in NE Siberia were: the Siberian, St. Lawrence Island, Nunivak, Chugach, Nunamiut, North Alaska, Mackenzie, Copper, Caribou, Netsilik, Iglulik, Baffinland, Coastal Labrador, Polar, and East and West Greenland.
		Copper Eskimo is referred as the "Inuit", or Copper Inuit", or "Central Eskimo" in.
		Uncovered at Dorset sites were harpoons to hunt walrus and seals in open water, fishing gear, snow knives, ivory plates used to protect the runners on sleds, carved soapstone pots and lamps, carved wood masks, and carvitures to suggest a well-developed, intellectual, and ceremonial life.

	Dorset culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Researchers believe that Dorset culture lacked dogs, boats and other technologies and adapted poorly to the development of harsher weather in the Arctic in the late first and early second millennium.
		In 1954 and 1955, Henry B. Collins of the Smithsonian Institution studied Eskimo house ruins in the Canadian Arctic.
		Surprisingly, there was no genetic connection between the Dorset culture and the Inuit culture, which indicates the complete replacement and extinction of the Dorsets.

	Aboriginal Peoples: Palaeo-Eskimo Peoples: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dorset culture may have originated in the Foxe Basin area between the mouth of Hudson Bay and Baffin Island, and it was much more elaborate than Early Palaeo-Eskimo culture.
		Dorset peoples used soapstone vessels and lamps (which means that they were not dependent upon wood for fuel; they could burn seal oil for heat and light in these soapstone containers).
		Dorset extinction in Newfoundland was probably due to other factors--likely a repeated failure in either the caribou or the harp seal hunt.

	Civilization.ca - A History of the Native People of Canada - Middle Palaeo-Eskimo Culture
		While a close relationship between Pre-Dorset and Dorset was noted by a number of archaeologists (Collins 1956; Harp 1958; Taylor 1959) it remained for Taylor (1968) to demonstrate the nature of the relationship.
		I agree with the observation "...that the Dorset population spoke some old variant of the Eskimo language" (Taylor 1968a: 9), a view supported by the oral traditions of the Inuit, more commonly referred to as Eskimos, which state that the Tunit (Dorset) spoke the same language as themselves (Rasmussen 1931: 113-114).
		Indeed, it has elicited the observation that "The importance of magico-religious beliefs and their association with Dorset technology is apparent in the most striking accomplishment of the Dorset people: the creation of a body of art that is unique, unexpected, and remarkable" (McGhee 1996: 148).

	Helluland/Markland Archeology
		Dorset are an old arctic culture that preceded that of Thule and modern Inuit (Eskimo) culture.
		Dorset people did not use dogs or dogsleds, or the bow and arrow, and for this reason they probably were not a major threat to Norse explorers.
		Dorset religion was shamanistic and is revealed in the elaborate carvings made of animals and animal spirits.

	Exploring Our Past Newfoundland and Labrador
		Dorset Eskimo marine specialisation is reflected in site locations on outermost island, which permitted better access to the harp seal migrations.
		Perhaps the most tantalising Dorset artifacts are carved bone, antler, ivory, and soapstone figurines of polar bears, humans, and birds, many of which are on display at The Newfoundland Museum.
		The Inuit are the descendants of the Thule Eskimo.

	[No title]
		For whatever reason, the Pre-Dorset culture evolved into the Dorset culture during a period of heightened culture change in a cooler period.
		Dorset was a remarkably homogeneous culture throughout its range.
		Dorset is famous for its elaborate and highly evolved artistic tradition that includes carved wood, bone, and ivory depictions of humans, spirit monsters, and animals; objects are of a magico-religious nature; supernatural universe.

	The History of Palaeoeskimo Archaeology in Newfoundland
		This somewhat contradicted Jenness' earlier statements regarding this material, in which he pronounced this Dorset material as indeed Beothuk, maintaining that the close resemblance of this material with that of the Dorset was evidence for contact between Beothuk groups of Newfoundland and Dorset groups in Labrador.
		Frederica De Laguna (1940) referred to the Dorset groups of Newfoundland in her analysis of soapstone vessels, concluding that the lack of suspension holes in the vessel technology was as result of an abundance of available firewood on the island which made it unnecessary to hang pots above a blubber lamp.
		Therefore, in the 1960's while researchers were confident that a Dorset presence had indeed been established on the island of Newfoundland, there was an uncertainty as to how these Dorset groups fit in with the overall scheme of Dorset as it had been defined for the eastern and central Arctic.

		Along the northwest shore of Dorset Island, surrounded on one side by rocky hills and on the other, by Hudson Strait, lies Cape Dorset - a community that, since the 1950s, has come to be known as the Inuit art capital of the world.
		Like most other settlements in Nunavut, Cape Dorset is a modern community, with winding gravel roads, small wooden houses, schools, stores, hotels, a nursing station, government offices and churches.
		But it is Cape Dorset's outstanding artists and their printmaking and stone-carving shop that have earned the town renown.

	Prehistoric People of Newfoundland and Labrador
		A large Dorset Eskimo village near Port au Choix had more than 40 houses walled with sod and probably covered with a wood frame and hide roof.
		After the disappearance of the Dorset Eskimos, Indian cultures become much more evident and it is probably safe to say that by A.D. the ancestors of the Beothuk Indians had emerged.
		In the face of European pressure, their coastal pit-house villages were eventually abandoned and the Beothuk of the later historic period attempted to exist in the interior of Newfoundland, particularly along the Exploits River where their most recent campsites date to the early nineteenth century.

		The Dorset population multiplied until about A.D. 1000, during which time they occupied a huge geographic triangle bounded on the west by Victoria Island, on the north by Ellesmere Island and northern Greenland, and on the southeast by Newfoundland.
		As a consequence, the Dorsets disappeared in the core area of Foxe Basin and Hudson Strait.
		Some of the Dorset people managed to survive until the middle of the 15th century by moving away from Foxe Basin to sites on the east shore of Hudson Bay and northern Labrador.

		If Dorset thought was similar to that of other shamanistic peoples, Dorset people must have believed that a human's powers could be increased by incorporating the strength and energy of "helping spirits." Such spirits could be encountered in dreams, through a deliberately induced trance or, occasionally, while hunting or travelling alone on the tundra.
		A large proportion of Dorset carvings represent the polar bear and the falcon, the consummate hunters of the Arctic world.
		These are exact replicas of the harpoon heads used by Dorset hunters, and they may have been used in some form of hunting magic.

		The Dorset obviously did not expect this treatment as they are not prepared to do battle and fought back with their fishing equipment.

		In reality, the Dorset had the entire village of women and children at their disposal but being peace loving by nature they would not want to harm future trading relations.

	The History of Archaeology in the Province.
		Although the artifacts he examined from Newfoundland were very similar to Cape Dorset Eskimo he chose to interpret them as Beothuk stating that: "It seems fairly clear, therefore, that the Beothuk and Eskimos were in contact at some early date, and borrowed a few elements of each other’s culture." (Jenness, 1929:8; see also Harp, 1964:8).
		Her goal was to determine a more valid definition for Newfoundland Dorset and try to define the ecological adaptations and relationships with this area (Linnamae, 1971:1).
		Maritime Archaic, Dorset and Beothuk evidence were all found in a 2-3 inch stratum leading Carignan to believe that this may reflect continuous use of the site without any major temporal gap (Carignan, 1974b:32).

	Aboriginal Inhabitants of NF and Labrador (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Sometime during the second millenium B. an expanding Eskimo culture from the central Canadian arctic reached the Labrador Coast and for two thousand years thereafter were found in part of coastal Labrador and the Island of Newfoundland.
		The demise of the Dorset people is equally as mysterious as that of their predecessors but we lose all trace of their culture well before the Norse visits to Newfoundland hence it seems unlikely that they were the “skraelings” mentioned in the Norse sagas.
		The may have arrived on the Labrador coast by AD 1400 (but not much before) and their descendants are still to be found in the communities of Nain, Hopedale and Makkovik where they live during the winter still exploiting many of the resources of the area in ways not unlike those of their ancestors.

		For unknown reasons, the Dorset Eskimo disappeared from the Island of Newfoundland around 1000 BC.
