<h1>Inuit Business Communication</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
This informal economy takes on a form of reciprocity for many Inuit
civilizations. However, since the 1950s, government has forced
camps to become small communities. This is new to the
Inuits since they are not accustomed to living with people who are from a
different kin. This has impacted everyday life, and with the increased
use of currency, conducting business has become more modernized as
opposed to the sharing concept in the Inuit culture.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The main economic activities for Inuits are harvesting marine
mammals, waterfowl, caribou, and fish for food, guiding non-natives
on hunts, taking tourists on dog sled rides or fishing trips, and selling
handicrafts. Another important source of income is carving. Men make more
money than women. The income is channeled
directly into the hunting economy and indirectly into gambling.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Hunters with little or no source of outside income, sell some meat
to buy gas or equipment enabling them to continue hunting.
