Natives in Alaska
Was Described
Cigarettes, Candy, Late Danres
Unsanitary Homes, Cited As
Reasons For Illness Among the
Natives of Alaska—Not Used to
White Man's Ways.
Attempts by natives to live the
I life of white men on a native’s
| income is, in a large part, the
| explanation for the prevalence
i of tuberculosis and other dis
; eases among their race, Dr. Mor
ton Meyers, Indian physician for
the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
said.
Dr. Meyers has been with the
bureau in Alaska for seven years,
with headquarters at Akiak, on
the Kuskokwim river. He was
in charge of the bureau's hospital
at Akiak until it was closed two
| years ago, and later wrent to Ka
! nakanak.
“The native will spend his last
penny for cigarettes, liquor and
candy. When it comes time to
buy the substantial things of his
diet he is broke and must go
back to his fish diet until he tires
of it, when he will eat crackers
and water, and then more fish.
Another white man’s habit he
has adopted is to go to dances
late at night and dance until ear
ly morning. All this goes toward
depleting his physical resistance
to disease. He falls an easy prey
to whatever comes along.
Dr. Meyers made a trip to Nel
son island in the spring of 1935,
being the first white doctor to at
tend the natives of that island.
The natives still depend largely
on the old time medicine man or
shaman who weaves a spell about
the sick person in order to make
him well.
But Dr. Meyers says that white
ways are decimating the natives
by disease by lowering their re
sistance.
