Name and historical religious beliefs and practices of the Native American community 

The focus in this article is on the Eskimo people, who are found in Alaska, Canada, Siberia and Greenland. They occupy the northern circumpolar regions.

Other spirits however, are considered to be difficulty-causing to human beings (United States, 2015).
