AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article examines conflict seasonality among the Inuit residents on Holman Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Condon shows that conflict seasonality '…is generated from a complex interaction between cultural institutions and environmental conditions' (p. 151). Condon provides information on the seasonal round of activities among the Inuit, as well as on the use and/or abuse of alcohol in the community, and the variety of offenses committed by the inhabitants while under its influence.
