[77] Bancroft, op. cit. i. 65 sq. Mr. Bancroft’s authority is probably Armstrong, who says that the women are, to all intents and purposes, the slaves of the men, and do the greater part of the outdoor work, except hunting and fishing; but he adds that they nevertheless enjoy a higher position and more consideration than is usual amongst savages (Armstrong, Personal Narrative of the Discovery of the North-West Passage, p. 195).
