Abstract
The seemingly paradoxical aspects of Eskimo culture and personality can be parsimoniously related to an Eskimo “cultural personality” whose roots in the socialization experience may explain much of adult Eskimo behavior. This concept is also useful in analyzing precontact “legal” systems and the two changes which have occurred since then.Keywords
