            <h3>Values</h3>
51 
 
52 
            <p>
53 
                The Inupiaq People have a profound sense of respect for each other,
54 
                especially for the elders.  Each generation learns their codes of
55 
                conduct, morals, by observing the way their parents live.  The elders
56 
                in the community are seen as the teachers and are the voice of authority
57 
                when problems arise.  When having to deal with these problems, the
58 
                elders, both men and women, get together, discuss the issue at hand,
238 ira 59 
                and come to a consensus.  At times, it's a man who is the head of the
60 
                group while other times it's a woman.

64 
                At the center of the Inuit culture is family. The family and the larger
65 
                network of social relationships form the environment into which children
66 
                are born and begin the learning process to become adults.  A primary
67 
                contribution that binds people together socially is the sharing of food
251 ira 68 
                and the willingness to cooperate when the need arises. When animals are
237 ira 69 
                killed on the hunt, they are shared, when people are in need, they are
251 ira 70 
                looked after; it is the Inuit way and it represents a value that they
254 ira 71 
                continue to honor.

            <h3>Gender and Status</h3>
82 
 
83 
            <p>
84 
                Inupiaq women are not part of an urban underclass.  Most women have
85 
                stable incomes from employment in craft production and are homeowners.
86 
            </p>
87 
 
88 
            <h3>Etiquette</h3>
89 
 
90 
            <p>
251 ira 91 
                Tribal, village, clan and family affiliations are important to all
238 ira 92 
                Native people. When greeting a casual acquaintance "Where are you from?"
251 ira 93 
                is the most common greeting. Many Inupiaq people introduce themselves,
237 ira 94 
                naming their parents and village as this becomes the initial opportunity
95 
                to understand the unique background and family ties of a new person and
96 
                a show of mutual respect.
97 
            </p>
98 
 
99 
            <h3>Social Distance</h3>
100 
 
101 
            <p>
102 
                Public touching and hugging will not be witnessed by a visitor within the
103 
                Alaska Native Inuit. When a grieving person expressed sadness and tears,
104 
                it would not be appropriate to touch the distressed person.  However, these
105 
                intimate customs vary from village to village.  Some Inupiaq display
106 
                affection openly, but nose kissing is reserved for the interaction between
107 
                mother and child.
