Inuit Social Structure!


Hello Native Studies!




The Inuit social system had no chief or central leader. Every igloo would have a small number of individuals, usually a family, which would then form a larger community. Families would often make ties with other families, which would come in handy when hunting during the winter and when marrying off children. Overall there was a strong sense of community; anything done was for the group, not just one individual.
