NOTED ALASKAN
ARTIST IS
WHALE HUNTER
George Aden Aghupuk, famed
Eskimo artist, recently proved
that he was also a mighty hunter.
When Pilot Frank Whaley, was
returning on a flight from Kotze
bue to Shishmaref the other day,
he spotted a number of white
whales, and after making note of
their general direction of travel he
proceeded to Shishmaref, where
he reported the incident to Aghu
puk, who had come down on the
beach to meet the plane.
Aghupuk then gathered several
other Eskimo boys and took off
in their skin boat, after the
whales. The chase was on in ear
nest, and in a few hours the
mighty hunters returned home
towing four of the huge mammals
behind their tiny boat. There was
much rejoicing in the village for
now there would be meat for ev
eryone.
Gorge Aden Aghupuk is a mem
ber of the Artists Guild of Amer
ica and for the past fifteen years
has been noted for his remark
ably true reproductions of Eski
mo life in northern Alaska, drawn
on parchment and natural skins
