            <p>
46 
                The Inupiaq People have a profound sense of respect for each other,
47 
                especially for the elders.  Each generation learns their codes of
48 
                conduct, morals, by observing the way their parents live.  The elders
49 
                in the community are seen as the teachers and are the voice of authority
50 
                when problems arise.  When having to deal with these problems, the
51 
                elders, both men and women, get together, discuss the issue at hand,
238 ira 52 
                and come to a consensus.  At times, it's a man who is the head of the
53 
                group while other times it's a woman.

                At the center of the Inuit culture is family. The family and the larger
58 
                network of social relationships form the environment into which children
59 
                are born and begin the learning process to become adults.  A primary
60 
                contribution that binds people together socially is the sharing of food
251 ira 61 
                and the willingness to cooperate when the need arises. When animals are
237 ira 62 
                killed on the hunt, they are shared, when people are in need, they are
251 ira 63 
                looked after; it is the Inuit way and it represents a value that they
254 ira 64 
                continue to honor.

            <h3>Gender and Status</h3>
75 
 
76 
            <p>
77 
                Inupiaq women are not part of an urban underclass.  Most women have
78 
                stable incomes from employment in craft production and are homeowners.
79 
            </p>

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