Culture

"We occasionally had Eskimo visitors - generally male…Hospitality consisted of shaking hands, providing cups of tea with pilot biscuits, or supplying the 'makings' for a cigarette. Conversation was limited, due to their lack of English…Women visitors were rare and then always in pairs, one presumably the chaperone. Invariably they had something to trade, a pair of caribou mitts, some moccasins, or articles made from walrus ivory or bone."
