Gender in Inuit Society

There were a few different things in this article that jumped out. The first thing was that women and men have very different roles in society. Each gender has their specific role, and are separate from the time they are children on.  Women are expected to fill the role of the domestic worker while men fill the role of hunter/gatherer. The second point that I noticed was the similarity between the last reading in "Many Tender Ties";intro and CH.1 and this article. Husbands trade their wives or just 'loan' them out to other men for any length of time, even permanently. I feel that this is an example of early prostitution. The fact that the same thing happens in both societies makes me wonder whether or not it is prevalent throughout North America.
