Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Among the Copper Inuit Eskimos, there are distinct gender roles, but they are not based on inequality, and both males and females are seen as equally valuable to the community's survival. However, the gender roles that the Inuit youth learn make the transition to adulthood somewhat easier for females. For example, girls learn skills such as childcare, sewing, and food preparation, which are essential for survival in harsh Arctic conditions, and these skills increase their status and value within the community.
