Several European explorers lent their names to the "discovery" of the northern Artic. Baffin, Frobisher, Mackenzie and Franklin were met by the nomadic Inuit's as they sailed into the land of ice and snow.
The white man called them "Eskimos", eaters of raw meat as their diet consisted mainly of fish and hunted mammals. Later they became known as "Inuit", meaning "the people" in their language, Inutitut.
The marital customs among the Inuit were not strictly monogamous, many Inuit relationships were implicitly or explicitly sexually open polygamy, divorce and remarriage were fairly common. Formal marriage and divorce required the approval of the community and particularly the agreement of the elders.
Marriages were often arranged, sometimes in infancy and occasionally forced on the couple by the community.
Marriage was expected for a man as soon as he could hunt for himself and for women at puberty. Family structure was flexible, a household might consist of a man and his wife or wives and children; it might include his parents or his wife's parents as well as adopted children. It might be a larger formation of several siblings with their parents, wives and children or even more than one family sharing dwellings and resources.
Every household had a head of household, an elder or a particularly respected man.
This was Liak's world. It was summertime in the Artic and her band were living in their caribou skin tents.
Liak's family consisted of four men and three females. Tuma was the head of their household having survived seventy-two harsh winters on the tundra. Itukuchuk was Liak's husband and along with his brother Nanook were the family's hunters and whom they depended on for their food.
Millaaraq was Nanook's wife who had borne him a son. Liak was large with child and ready to give birth in a couple of moons.
Noayak was the matriarch wife of the respected Tuma.
Liak being the youngest of the breeders was a favorite with the men even though she was with child. The family occupied three tents, one of which was for eating and doing chores while the other two were for sleeping.
One of the sleeping tents was reserved for those engaging in sex. Liak spent most nights in this tent.
Tuna was too old to fuck his lovely granddaughter but she dutifully sucked his ancient cock each night until he spurt his sperm into her mouth. Liak was accustom to salty tasting food and gulped his jism down into her swollen belly with gusto.
Whilst servicing her grandfather's cock it was not unusual for her brother-in-law Nanook to mount her from the rear using her warm cunt to relieve himself in.
It was warm enough in the tent for Liak to be naked for her lovers. Her long, lustrous black hair hung down with her pendulous swollen breasts. A thick pelt of shiny pubic hair blanketed the opening to her womb.
"The council wishes to use you." Itukuchuk informed his pregnant wife.
The council consisted of five of the band's elders, all of whom were well into their senior years. Auguta, Tuna, Akluitok, Injuquaq and Amaguq, Liak knew them all. She had grown up with these men and three of them had taken her on her wedding night.
The Council of Elder's tent was almost thirty feet in diameter and towering forty of fifty feet into the Artic sky.
It was summertime so the sun never really set, it just sank towards the horizon and then begins its climb to overhead once more.
