Does anyone know the tribe that only ate meat?

Just wondering i heard about them a while ago and forgot the name of the people. Apparently their diet is like 99% meat.
Thanks

    The one in Siberia that the magazine article told about?  I think some of their meat they actually prefer eating frozen, like doing that instead of cooking.  I don't think they ever cook anything at all.

It could be one of the Arctic/northern First Nations peoples: Chukchi, Evenk, Inuit, Ket (Deng) and Nganasan, Khanty, Mansi, Namgis, Nenet, Sami, etc. Most of them eat some other wild foods than meat/seafood in the summer, but not much. Unfortunately, they increasingly have been eating modern foods too, some nations more than others.

The Nenets are described as eating berries also in quantity, and while they usually eat their meats raw , they do boil them sometimes.

Yes, I know, and there are a wide range of diet variations within the various Arctic First Nations, but those cultures are the closest I can think of to what Kurite might be referring to. The Greenland Inuit are the only ones I've seen reported to literally have a 99% animal food diet (though the video I recently saw on a coastal Chukchi tribe indicated they ate only walrus and whale--but my guess is they may also eat some berries and other small tundra plants in the summer), so maybe that's the one he was thinking of.
