Paper Summary:

This paper helps the reader to see the cultures of the Inuit and the Cree of Mistassini at the micro level, in the light of the "total institutions" described by Goffman in "Asylums". (1991) When describing social establishments of the kind, Goffman comments that, "every institution captures something of the time and interest of its members and provides something of a world for them; in brief, every institution has encompassing tendencies". (1991, 15) Current industrialized societies have a way of compartmentalizing different aspects of human life and interaction. (1991, 17).
