Abstract
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.
