For instance, there's an anthropologist with the University of Florida, Dr. Peter Collings, who spent the past decade living with and studying the Inuit of Holman, a far north island community in Canada. Collings emphasizes that SAD is not his area of expertise and that it's often hard to understand Inuit feelings because they are subtle and nuanced when talking about emotions.And then there's the whole cultural divide thing.But differences and subtlety not withstanding, Dr. Collings says the people of Holman tend to be a little less energetic in winter.
