The Inuit believed that Nanook, the polar bear, was powerful and mighty, and they thought that he was almost man. The Inuit hunters would worship this great bear because they believed that he decided if the hunters would be successful. In the past, the Inuit ate polar bear meat and used the fur to make warm trousers for men and kamiks (soft boots) for women.
