| Tribal Relations / War |
- War and conflict between Inuit groups was rare.
- The Inuit lived a peaceful existence, and self-restraint and sharing (Nigiqtuq) were valued traits in their culture.
- The Inuit needed to depend on each other to survive their harsh environment; therefore, sharing was the basis of their culture. They shared food, equipment, clothing, and money with their family and friends in their community, and even between camps.
- Inuit treated everything (human beings, the land, animals and plants) with equal respect, trying to maintain a harmonious relationship.
