However, since the 1950s, government has forcedcamps to become small communities. This is new to theInuits since they are not accustomed to living with people who are from adifferent kin. This has impacted everyday life, and with the increaseduse of currency, conducting business has become more modernized asopposed to the sharing concept in the Inuit culture.</p></li><li><p>The main economic activities for Inuits are harvesting marinemammals, waterfowl, caribou, and fish for food, guiding non-nativeson hunts, taking tourists on dog sled rides or fishing trips, and sellinghandicrafts. Another important source of income is carving. Men make moremoney than women. The income is channeleddirectly into the hunting economy and indirectly into gambling.</p></li><li><p>Hunters with little or no source of outside income, sell some meatto buy gas or equipment enabling them to continue hunting.</p></li></ul><h4>Further Information</h4><ul class="resources"><li><a href="http://collections.ic.gc.ca/business/lect4.html">http://collections.ic.gc.ca/business/lect4.html</a></li><li><a href="http://www.nunavut.com/nunavut99/english/our.html">http://www.nunavut.com/nunavut99/english/our.html</a></li><li><a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Greenland">http://wikitravel.org/en/Greenland</a></li><li><a href="http://www.nunavut.com/nunavut99/english/our.html">http://www.nunavut.com/nunavut99/english/our.html</a></li></ul></div><div id="footer" ><div id="altnav"><a href="index.html">Home</a> -<a href="ira.html">Religion</a> -<a href="susana.html">Language</a> -<a href="parham.html">Business Communication</a><br /><a href="ryan.html">Environment</a> -<a href="maricela.html">Family Life</a> -<a href="matt.html">Social Norms</a><a href="interesting.html">Interesting Facts</a></div>Website Design Copyright © 2006, Ira W.
