do Eskimos “kiss” each other by rubbing noses, and is it a romantic gesture or more a "hiya howya doin’ "?
I don’t know about Eskimos but rubbing noses is a traditional Maori (New Zealand) greeting - when I was there it was used somewhat like a handshake, did it with a group we just met so nothing romantic about it and I didn’t get the feeling that it was as affectionate as a great big hug.
