Gender roles
The Inuit had strong gender roles but those rules were not set in stone. The women are generally domestic and did work such as cooking, cleaning, sewing and looking after children. While the men were usually the hunters, fishers and gatherers. Although these were the principal jobs they were not set in stone. There were some women who were forced to hunt either out of personal choice or necessity. And while the men were away hunting they were expected to know how to cook and sew.
