Do People Live in the Tundra?

Yes. Indigenous peoples have thrived in the Arctic tundra for millennia, including:

• Inuit (Canada, Greenland, Alaska)
• Yupik (Alaska, Russian Far East)
• Nenets (Siberian Russia)

Adaptations: insulated dwellings (igloos, sod houses), sleds/snowmobiles, specialized clothing, hunting/fishing/herding (reindeer) economies. Antarctic tundra has no permanent residents—only rotating research staff.
