In the chapter "The Story of Keesh" by Jack London, the method used by the people to count the age of their children is not explicitly mentioned. However, we can make an inference based on the context and the lifestyle of the characters.
Since this story is set in a remote Inuit village, it is possible that they used a traditional method of counting age based on important events or milestones. One common method used by indigenous cultures in the Arctic is counting age through "seasons." In these cultures, a child's age would be counted by the number of winters they have experienced.
To determine a child's age in such a system, one would count all the winters that have passed since their birth. For example, if a child was born during the winter season and has experienced two more winters since then, they would be considered three years old in this system. This method aligns with the harsh climate and the importance of surviving the extreme winters in the Arctic.
It's important to note that while this is a plausible method, the exact method used in "The Story of Keesh" is not explicitly described by the author.
