THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
Autumn 1964
“I had to sweat it out,” he said.
He was interested mainly in legal
acculturation, which is the mingling
of the old legal system with the white
man’s system.
“The Eskimos still don’t know what
it means to be a citizen of Canada.
They don’t understand the vote,” John
said.
“They are masters of inter-personal
relationships, however, and get along
well with each other”.
“Once, after 18 hours on the hunting
trail, we stopped to build a snow house.
It was almost finished, but one block
kept falling down. One of the men
got mad and knocked the whole house
over. The other men understood that
he was releasing his tension, and no-
body got mad, even though it meant
a great deal of extra work.”
All property is shared. If a man has
an excess of meat he shares it with
those who don’t have as much.
There is therefore no theft.
Mr. Matthiasson has returned to
Canada and will spend next winter
writing his thesis for the Doctor of
Philosophy degree.
