In this foundational ethnographic study, psychological anthropologist Jean L. Briggs examines the intricate social dynamics of an Inuit community in the Canadian Arctic. Through detailed observation of dramatic play, the text reveals how adults utilize storytelling and performance to transmit complex cultural values and moral frameworks to the next generation, providing a profound look at the socialization process within a traditional nomadic society.
