Surviving marriage and marriage as survival in Chipewyan society: perspectives from northern hunters
till death do us part : a multicultural anthology on marriage • 14 • Published In 1999 • Pages: 105-122

Abstract
The major focus of this paper is on the institution of marriage which "…serves as a fundamental form of economic and social insurance for couples and their offspring and, indeed, for wider networks of relatives linked by the union" (p. 106). Jarvenpa suggests that the marriage bond with its concomitant establishment of new kinship relations may be one means in which the Patuanak Chipewyans cope with both social and material sources of stress and social conflict in the community.
