One of the Yup'ik customs back in the day was how they taught their children. There were two meeting houses: one for the men and one for the women. The girls would go to the women and learn how to sew, prepare and cook food, and other household duties. The boys would go to the men and learn how to make weapons, hunt for food, build homes, and other things of that nature. Then when they were done with that, they would switch and the girls would learn to hunt and build homes, and the boys to sew and cook. In Yup'ik' culture, men and women were seen as equals and no duty was too much or too menial.

Why did the inuit people call themselves eskimos?
The term, 'eskimos' or 'esquimaux' was a word in other American aboriginal languages meaning 'eaters of raw meat'. 'Eskimo' is taken to be a bad word in Greenland and other places. The people called themselves, 'Inupiat', 'Yupik', and 'Aleut'. The Aleuts gradually moved east, and lost the common languages used by the Yupik and Inupiat. In time, the word, 'Eskimo' in the Alaska area came to mean both the Yupik and the Inupiat to outsiders.
