Inuit form of showing affection and or greeting

History [ edit ]

When early Western explorers of the Arctic first witnessed Inuit nose rubbing as a greeting behavior, they dubbed it Eskimo kissing, despite the practice's prevalence in nearby non-Eskimo cultures. This was used as an intimate greeting by the Inuit who, when they meet outside, often have little except their nose and eyes exposed.

In Inuit culture [ edit ]

Kunik

Among the Inuit, kunik is a form of expressing affection,[1] usually between family members and loved ones or to young children,[2] that involves pressing the nose and upper lip against the skin (commonly of the cheeks or forehead) and breathing in, causing the loved one's skin or hair to be suctioned against the nose and upper lip.[3] A common misconception is that the practice arose so that Inuit could kiss without their mouths freezing together. Rather, it is a non-erotic but intimate greeting used by people who, when they meet outside, often have little except their nose and eyes exposed. The greeting was described in reports of Kerlungner and Wearner, part of a group of Alaskan Native people touring the United States with entrepreneur Miner W. Bruce in the 1890s: "Mr. Bruce yesterday instructed Kerlungner and Wearner that in this country they should not rub noses, and to close the lesson the two young women kissed each other in the new style for a beginning, both seeming to fear that they looked silly as they did it."[4]

In other cultures [ edit ]

Other peoples use similar greeting practices, notably the Māori of New Zealand and Hawaiians, who practice the hongi and honi greetings, respectively. Mongolian nomads of the Gobi Desert have a similar practice, as do certain Southeast Asian cultures, such as Bengalis, Khmer people, Lao people, Thai people, Vietnamese people, Timor, Savu people, Sumba people[5] and Iban people. Nose kissing is also employed as a traditional greeting by Arab tribesmen when greeting members of the same tribe. It is also popular in Arabian tribes in southern part of Iran, such as the Bushehr Province.

Why do I crave him so much?

When you feel like something is lacking within you, you may crave someone. When you're emotionally all over the place on some level, you may crave someone. Feeding into a memory, the way a person made you feel or a desire that you possibly have been suppressing, that too can cause you to crave someone.

Aside from that, when Shellie's not tellin' all her business, she's helping couples (marriage life coach) or assisting with birthing babies (doula). Her byline is all over cyberspace, but where you won't find her is on social media. Like anywhere. At all. If you need to hit her up, she's (usually) reachable at missnosipho at gmail.com, though.
