            <h3>Values</h3>
52 
 
53 
            <p>
54 
                The Inupiaq People have a profound sense of respect for each other,
55 
                especially for the elders.  Each generation learns their codes of
56 
                conduct, morals, by observing the way their parents live.  The elders
57 
                in the community are seen as the teachers and are the voice of authority
58 
                when problems arise.  When having to deal with these problems, the
59 
                elders, both men and women, get together, discuss the issue at hand,
238 ira 60 
                and come to a consensus.  At times, it's a man who is the head of the
61 
                group while other times it's a woman.

65 
                At the center of the Inuit culture is family. The family and the larger
66 
                network of social relationships form the environment into which children
67 
                are born and begin the learning process to become adults.  A primary
68 
                contribution that binds people together socially is the sharing of food
251 ira 69 
                and the willingness to cooperate when the need arises. When animals are
237 ira 70 
                killed on the hunt, they are shared, when people are in need, they are
251 ira 71 
                looked after; it is the Inuit way and it represents a value that they
254 ira 72 
                continue to honor.

            <h3>Gender and Status</h3>
83 
 
84 
            <p>
85 
                Inupiaq women are not part of an urban underclass.  Most women have
86 
                stable incomes from employment in craft production and are homeowners.
87 
            </p>

            <h3>Etiquette</h3>
90 
 
91 
            <p>
251 ira 92 
                Tribal, village, clan and family affiliations are important to all
238 ira 93 
                Native people. When greeting a casual acquaintance "Where are you from?"
251 ira 94 
                is the most common greeting. Many Inupiaq people introduce themselves,
237 ira 95 
                naming their parents and village as this becomes the initial opportunity
96 
                to understand the unique background and family ties of a new person and
97 
                a show of mutual respect.
98 
            </p>
99 
 
100 
            <h3>Social Distance</h3>
101 
 
102 
            <p>
103 
                Public touching and hugging will not be witnessed by a visitor within the
104 
                Alaska Native Inuit. When a grieving person expressed sadness and tears,
105 
                it would not be appropriate to touch the distressed person.  However, these
106 
                intimate customs vary from village to village.  Some Inupiaq display
107 
                affection openly, but nose kissing is reserved for the interaction between
108 
                mother and child.
