I don't think that's correct. The Inuit surely knew of the Cree. Eg, http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/film-reviews/inuit-cree-reconciliation-a-documenta

I don't think that's correct. The Inuit surely knew of the Cree. Eg, http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/film-reviews/inuit-cree-reconciliation-a-documentary-built-on-oral-history/article16099365/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/film-reviews/inuit-... . Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit#Prehistory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit#Prehistory : > Inuit had trade relations with more southern cultures; boundary disputes were common and gave rise to aggressive actions. That page also addresses your question, saying "The culture and technology of Inuit society that served so well in the Arctic were not suited to subarctic regions, so they did not displace their southern neighbors."
