Reported Few
Eskimo Igloos
Re Seen North
GEOGRAPHER SAYS
ESKIMOS ADOPT
METHODS OF WHITES
KANSAS CITY. Mo., (AP)—
"One of the big surprises for
those who have not studied geo
graphy is the lack of igloos in
the Arctic regions,” said Profes
sor John Q. Adams, assistant pro
fessor of geography in the Uni
versity of Missouri, in speaking
of a trip into the Arctic Circle
which he made last summer as a
visiting scientist on the eastern
Arctic expedition, sponsored by
the Canadian government.
The reason for this lack of ig
loos, according -to Professor Ad
ams in a bulletin issued by the
university, is the fact that the
Eskimos now use them only for
a limited part of the year, and
then they build them around
tents or “tupiks,” as the natives
oa-Uk them.
The Eskimos are no longer the
nomads they once were. They
have been engulfed in the white
•man’s economic system, living in
tradirfg posts, using the white
man’s traps, and depending on
the sales of white fox fur to the
white man for their livelihood.
If women do not wear the furs,
the Eskimo experiences an eco
nomic depression.
The undersigned would like
your assistance in helping to lo
cate a gentleman, known to his
friends as “Happy” Wright.
Would like him to correspond
with either Alberta Fahnhoiz, at
3012, 4th ave. N., Billings, Mont.,
or write me.
