Read an autobiography or non-fiction book that's relevant, until you feel confident enough to write it. Then write it. There will be mistakes, no matter what. You catch these in editing by passing them by people whose knowledge on these subjects you trust.

For my story "True North", which takes place in the Canadian North and has an Inuit-Metis secondary character, I read two books on Inuit beliefs, two short books on survival (focusing on the article survival stuff), and a few dozen online articles on life in the arctic and religious beliefs of Inuit people. I still got some things wrong, and some of them pretty darn wrong. I fixed these in edits.

For my story "Ars Poetica", which has a poet/sniper as the main character, I found an official sniper guide (US Military IIRC), and went through it twice, highlighting relevant passages and using the knowledge to determine character actions and scene descriptions.

Research is key, and it really pays off. Not only does it help you avoid errors, it adds color to your descriptions, makes your story more believable with key details, helps develop scenes and guide character action, and stimulates your imagination.
