Can I find it now? Nope. But I'll keep looking. It seems that it may have been a chapter in a book...

Given that they refer to them as Eskimos, which I don't think is the modern terminology, it makes me wonder. So, is it true that there are actually 22 words for snow in their language? I found no citation in the article for those words. Rick Dr. Rick Froman Associate Professor of Psychology John Brown University 2000 W.
