• The farther north you go, the fewer fruits and vegetables there are. What kind of apple trees do you suggest the Inuit get their apples from? And how much oil is expended transporting such things out there? It's an equation.

• En el noroeste de Alaska, kunlangeta "podría aplicarse a un hombre que, por ejemplo, miente y engaña repetidamente y roba cosas y no va a cazar y, cuando los demás hombres están fuera del poblado, se aprovecha sexualmente de muchas mujeres". Los inuits asumen tácitamente que la kunlangeta es irremediable. Por eso, según Murphy, la estrategia tradicional de los inuit ante un hombre así era insistir en que se fuera de caza y, en ausencia de testigos, empujarlo al borde del hielo.

• Winnipeg has the largest collection of Inuit art in the world, I believe. They can be quite simple in a great way and often have sparse backgrounds and isolated characters. They often have a really great look to them.
