    Mostly Trivial 179 Eskimos [trivia]

    Eskimo Trivia

     

     

     

    You think its cold where YOU live!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Where They Came From:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The first Eskimos immigrated to Alaska from northern Asia, specifically the Siberian Arctic. Archaeologists set the date at somewhere between 2,000 and 8,000 years ago, after the land bridge across the Bering Strait had been reclaimed by the ocean waters. These migrants probably crossed in umiaks, skin boats large enough to hold a family.

     

    Numbers:

    About 28,000 Eskimo Americans live in Alaska today; there are also about 11,000 Eskimos in Canada, 22,000 in Greenland, and 1,200 in Siberia. An estimated 32,000 Eskimos lived in Alaska just prior to contact with the white man.

    The Association for Downloadable Media, a non-profit organization serving podcast producers, is seeking information on consumers’ attitudes of advertising within podcasting. The ADM is looking for audience attitudes and reactions to things like ad style, delivery and placement. The results of this survey will allow podcast producers to best fulfill the expectations of their audience as they pertain to advertising and their reactions to it.

    The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and YOU my listener will not be asked to provide any personal contact information.

    The greater the response the better it is for everyone in the podcast medium.
