Unpredictable weather and resource shortages historically triggered famines, costing countless Inuit lives—especially during the Little Ice Age. Survival sometimes depended on harrowing choices and communal sacrifice. For instance, the 1950 Caribou Inuit famine in Canada resulted in the deaths of approximately 60 individuals due to a combination of overhunting, changing migration patterns, and harsh climatic conditions (en.wikipedia.org).
