"They live in little ice houses (igloos), and they fish."
Are you kidding me? I live among the Eskimos and have never a single one live in an ice house. An "iglu" is a house; period. There are many kinds. Today Eskimos live in iglu constructed of wood and glass, with gas, electric, or diesel heaters, stoves, refrigerators, telephones, and even television!
The "snowhouses" that people commonly refer to as "igloos" were traditionally constructed only as temporary shelters while out traveling during the cold season. Traditional longer-term (what Westerners might call "permanent") housing was primarily semi-subterranean.
The Inuit, which live in Canada and Greenland, used snowhouses for longer-term dwellings. However, Inuit are not Eskimos, and Eskimos are not Inuit. So, while Eskimos do fish (including whaling), they also hunt (caribou, seals, geese, bear, etc); and they do not live in ice houses - even little ones.
