Students Tell Of
Food Habits Of
Alaskan Eskimos
(From Farthest-North Collegian)
The College is becoming “Eskimo
conscious” since the return of the
St. Lawrence Island Archaelogical
Expedition. When conversation lags
in the dormitory dining room, one
of the “Islanders” can usually liven
it up by telling how the Eskimos
live. The most natural dinner topic
is that of food, but whoever brot
up the subject of Eskimo food hab
its may have regretted it before the
“Islanders" finished. At any rate
the reporter gleaned some interest
ing facts from the discourse.
Eskimos have been greatly af
fected in their diet by the coming
of the white man) according to mem
bers of the expedition. Strong
black tea is served at every meal
and old and young are equally fond
of it. It is not unusual to hear little
children crying for “kaya” which in ,
their language means tea. Pilot
bread and baking powder bisquits
are especially relished, for it is sel
dom that they are obtained. Per
haps the lady of the house will get
really ambitious and make a batch
of tasty doughnuts, using baking
powder, flour and water, which she
mixes and makes into little round
balls that are cooked in seal oil.
The Eskimos consider this a great
delicacy which is to be indulged in
not more than once a year. Some
of the wealthier people are able to
obtain rice, raisins, and canned
fruit, but not often.
Their main food is meat, mainly
that of the walrus or mangona, as
it is known to them. This they eat
either cooked or dried. Dried wal
rus is eaten by dipping the meat
first in a bowl of blubber oil. Whale
meat is eaten in much the same fas
hion except that they relish the por
tion directly below the skin, a sort
of slimy, greasy substance. This is
eaten directly after the killing of
the whale which is always the oc
casion of a great feast.
In the summer they break the
monotony of their diet by obtain
ing bird eggs and later in the sea
son young auklets, seagulls and cor
morants. They eat a little reindeer
meat, but do not much care for jyt,
preferring walrus and whale. Str
ange as it may seem, fish does not
enter in as an important food. Al
ways meat comes first and only
when it is scarce does the Eskimo
resort to sea foods.
