FAMILY AND WORK

    Men and women did different things.  Men were the hunters and home builders, while women prepared the food, worked on skins and made the clothing.  Men and women needed each other.  Every Inuit got married.  Inuit were fond of children and orphans loied with relatives and were well treated.  In a land where there were no vegetable foods or roads, a mother nursed her children and carried them everywhere on her back until they were 3 years old.
