What's Going on in the Inuk Season?

In the summer, traditional women were living in single family units where they were almost entirely dependent for survival on their fathers and brothers. The innuit tended to accept the principle of ultimate male authority. As one elder recalls, she was the first to rise and the last to sleep. Her husband was always right. She could be punished by her parents for not pleasing her husband. He had the final word, and that's just the way it was.
