idcnce with the tribe he feels
equally at home in their envir
onment as he does among white
people. Just before he left them
the chief hunter of the tribe,
Jimmie Otiyohok, an outstand
ing example of a Christian Eski
mo, and his family, tendered him
a farewell feast. From the meat |
cellar they brought up choice I
whale flukes taken from a car
cass two years previously. The
odor was rather strong, Geist ad
mitted, but like Eskimo ice cream,
the meat was delicious.
WHITE, WILD BLUE FOX
The main source of resources
are from white and wild blue
foxes and of the latter Mr. Geist
says they don’t make them any
better anywhere. Approximately
2,000 were caught in 1928-29 by
the Eskimo. The white, or Arctic
fox bring as high as $72 on the
market but some of the blue
fox bring several hundreds of
dollars each.
The islanders are a very
thrifty race and during the last
three years have begun to buy
every modern convenience from
houses to everything which goes
into them, including phonographs
and radios. But in the winter
time, owing to lack of fuel, though
there are coal deposits on the
islands, they revert back to their
former mode of living; into the
“agra” their homes built from
drift-wood and skins.
Mr. Geist, at this point, again
stressed his appreciation to the
Buieau of Education for allowing
him to remain on the island for
three years to record the life
of the tribe which customs with
in a few years wall be extinct,
