The Eskimos Eskimos are the hardiest and most numerous of all native Alaskans. There are about 15,000 of them, scattered over some 200,000 square miles of Bering sea and Arctic ocean coast and along the lower Yukon and Kushkokwim river valleys. More than other Alaskan natives, Eskimos have preserved their ancient customs, habits and language. You must understand the ways of Eskimos if you expect to get along with them. If an individual Eskimo likes and trusts you, his whole village will turn out to give you a hand in emergency.

If you insult an individual you will find that you have insulted the whole Eskimo community. Never lie to an Eskimo. Eskimos tell the truth and expect others to do the same. An Eskimo will believe you the first time you lie to him. BuThe wTH'never believe you again if he finds out you were lying.

This doesn't mean you can't joke with an Eskimo. You will imd he has a good sense of humor, very much like your own. Don't try to learn the Eskimo language. It's too complicated. Eskimos have dozens of words for our one word, "snow." White men who studied the language for years still speak only a kind of Eskimo baby talk.

Most younger Eskimos learned English at federal schools, anyway. Be polite to Eskimo children. They have a great deal of dignity and are used to kind treatment and consideration from older persons. No Wife "Lending." Don't take too seriously stories you have heard or read of the Eskimo custom of "lending" wives to friends or guests. The fashion went out of style long ago.

The Eskimo wife is a respected member of the household. An important part of her job is to dress the meat of the animals her husband kills and to tan and sew the skins. In the old days, an especially good hunter might have needed two wives to take care of all the game he brought home. In those days, a male guest in the village might have "loaned" a wife to repair his clothing or a traveler might have "borrowed" a friend's i to go with him on a long -journey. This custom, w'nich worked well with the Eskimos, didn't work at all when the American whalers began to arrive in the Bering sea.

It re- suited in i i i and a i and was given up, at least so far as visiting white men were concerned, soon after whaling days. You will find Eskimos very friendly and helpful, so long as you respect their customs. They are in the war with us all the way. Some of them are enlisted in the army; some in thte navy. Others are leveling airfields or supplying meac to the armed forces.

Eskimo Wjmen and children are sewing 'Winter clothing for soldiers and sailors. And many Eskimo villages have subscribed heavily to War bonds. If. you happen to be stationed in or near an Arctic village in August, be sure to attend the reindeer roundup. Eskimos own thousands of reindeer that graze over the Arctic plains in the Winter and emigrate to the coast in the Summer.

There the herds are rounded up, counted and slaughtered. The hides and meat of the reindeer are sold through cooperative stores owned and managed by the Eskimos under government supervision. From the hides they make mukluks (Eskimos boots), parkas, (hooded coats), mittens, socks pants and caps. Eskimo Underpants. If you are stationed in the Arctic, you may be Eskimo-made clothes.

They are good looking, warm and comfortable. But Eskimo-tanned furs smell out loud, especially in a warm room. So think twice before you send a pair of mukluks home to Aunt Minnie. Eskimo underwear, though, has one advantage that G. I.

or BVD's haven't. If you are starving on the trail, you can boil your Eskimo underpants in the pot and eat them. Eskimos are quick to catch on. They welcome government nurses, cooperative outboard motors, planes and radios, and the gadgets they order from the "Flomgommee Ward" catalog. An Eskimo can take a watch or a motor apart and put it together again so that it works better than ever.

He is a good shot and a fast runner. He can draw well and make accurate maps. (The drawings on reindeer hide of George Allen Ahupuk, Eskimo artist, are famous in Alaska and the states.) The Eskimo can also make beautiful carvings of walrus ivory--either the pure white fresh ivory, or the fossil kind that is naturally darkened with mineral tints. Asiatics. It is thought that these stocky, round-faced, dark-eyed people originally came from Asia, gradually spreading out along the Arctic coa.Pt as far east as Greenland.
