There appears to be a perfect lack of any feeling of conscience or moral duty among the Innuits - that which the experience of ages has taught them as best they do - guided by superstitious customs and usages the reason for which are in many cases unknown

I do not know of a case in which they do not look upon that most conducive to their own ends as the most "moral" if the word may be thus used.

If asked why they do so and so they answer - "we have always done so" considering this an unanswerable explanation
