The Red Hunters
call themselves the Innuit which
means "the People"
in their own language. They live in widely scattered, isolated
and small communities.
There is only
about a total of fifteen hundred Red Hunters on Gor. They
live in over forty winter camps, some camps separated from
the others by a journey of several days. Two such camps are
the Copper Cliffs camp and the Bright Stones camp. The Red
Hunters rarely leave the polar regions and so most Goreans
know little about them.
If their culture
were to vanish, few would even notice due to their isolated
and remote existance.
The
Innuit are generally
a short and broad people. Their skin is a dark, reddish
color, almost like copper, and their hair is normally
bluish-black. Their eyes have an epicanthic fold to
protect them from the extreme cold.
Despite
what some might believe, their bloodline is unrelated
to that of the Red Savages.
Innuit
children, unlike the Red Savages, are born with a
blue spot at the base of their spine. This is indicative
of a different ancestry.

" The
Innuit are commonly a proud and friendly people. Unlike most
xenophobic Goreans, they welcome strangers into their community.
In their harsh world, where the fight for survival is constant,
they need friends not enemies. Despite their stark conditions,
they maintain an optimistic attitude and a good sense of humor.
They are generally a happy people. War is basically unknown
among them and they do not have generals or other war leaders.
They are mostly peaceable, except with animals which they
have no compunction against killing.
"As hunters they live with blood and death."
