The woman does not take her husband's name in any case.
Akatingwah, for instance, will remain Akatingwah, whether she has had one husband or several.

Children do not address their parents as father and mother, but call them by their names, though sometimes very small children use a diminutive which corresponds to our "mamma." Among the Eskimos the woman is as much a part of the man's property as his dog or sledge--except in some rare cases.

The cause of the suffragettes has as yet made little headway in this region.

I remember one instance in which an Eskimo woman had a difference of opinion with her husband, and proved her right to independence by blackening the old man's eye; but I am afraid that the more conservative members of the tribe attributed this unfeminine behavior to the corrupting influence of contact with civilization.
As there are more men than women among the Eskimos, the girls marry very young, often about the age of twelve.

In many cases the marriages are arranged between the parents when the children are quite young; but the boy and girl are not bound, and when they are old enough they are permitted to decide for themselves.
