Not neutral

The description of the page Inuit women (: "The Inuit are the most widespread and perhaps the best known aboriginal people on earth.[1] As a very large indigenous group inhabiting the Arctic regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia, the Inuit exhibit many variations in cultural practices and customs.") is for all Eskimo peoples (Yupik peoples & Inuit peoples ). This description is not neutral and "Canada-phile" (as Anglophile and Francophile). --Kmoksy (talk) 09:37, 9 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

A photograph of an Iñupiat woman named Nowadluk (Nora) Ootenna. Ootenna was a popular subject for Alaskan photographers in the early 20th century. Her husband, George Ootenna, worked as a reindeer herder.

Traditionally, in Inuit communities, women played a crucial role in group survival, and their responsibilities were considered equally important to the men's. Consequently, women were given due respect, albeit not an equal share of influence or power. Recent modernization and urbanization has transformed traditional Inuit culture and influenced the role of women within the culture, having both positive and negative impacts on the overall well-being of Inuit women.Photograph: Lomen Bros; restoration: Chris Woodrich; Papa Lima Whiskey 2

The section on Changes in Power and Status has a poor style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Great Balto-Slav (talkcontribs) 14:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC) Reply

Expanding on this, the opening paragraph claims that "Because of this, the women were given due respect and are given an equal share of influence or power," yet there is an entire subsection dedicated to women's lack of power, saying explicitly that "they did not have equal power in the community."

Questionable wording and viewpoint

Latest comment: 7 years ago 2 comments2 people in discussion

From the Wikipedia article: "Whatever the cause, diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol are serious problems for the Inuit people. Even more troubling, studies have shown that these issues are worse for women than other groups.[20]"

"Even more troubling" because it affects women more than others? Bizarre viewpoint that women are to be valued *above* others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.164.63 (talk) 23:18, 31 March 2019 (UTC) Reply

I am working on an update to this page by adding a paragraph to the children, reproduction, and motherhood section for Inuit Women. I will post questions here, and feel free to contribute any pointers you have for the incoming paragraph. Thanks! Presleighfarrah (talk) 04:00, 25 June 2019 (UTC) Reply

Orphaned references in Inuit women

[edit ]
Latest comment: 5 years ago 2 comments2 people in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Inuit women's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "global":

Reference named "kaplannew":

Reference named "NPR":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 00:05, 11 June 2021 (UTC) Reply
