Title
Nora
.
Description
Woman
identified
as
Nora
poses
for a
photograph
.
Caption
:
Eskimos
are not
Indians
, but
Mongoloids
.
Both
have
all
inherent
reverence
for their
ancestors
, the
Japanese
possessing
the
characteristic
a
degree
stronger
than the
Eskimos
. The
Japanese
serve
fish
raw
. The
Eskimo
eats
his
raw
but
nature
most
often
serves
it
to him
frozen
.
Jade
is
used
extensively
by
both
Eskimos
and
Japanese
.
Both
have the
ability
to
imitate
with
masked
fidelity
.
We
are
prone
to
say
"
bread
is
the
staff
of
life.
" The
Eskimo
would
change
it
to "
oil
is
the
staff
of
life.
" The
oil
of the
hair
seal
the
walrus
and
whale
provides
for
most
of the
wants
of the
Eskimo
. He
uses
it
to
warm
his
house
and
dry
his
boots
, to
cook
his
seal
meat
and if there
is
no
meat
to
cook
he
can
use
the
oil
for
food
. In
olden
times
cariboo
were
plentiful
. The
meat
was
dried
and the
skins
used
for
bedding
and
clothes
.
Heated
deer
suet
rendered
is
eaten
with
snow
and
blue-berries
it
looks
like
whipped
cream
and
is
called
koni
mi
nook
.
When
a
person
dies
a
feast
is
prepared
and
all
friends
and
relatives
come
to the
home
and
eat
so
that the
dead
one
may
not be
hungry
. If
two
persons
fall
ill
at the
same
time
in the
same
house
one
of them
must
be
immediately
moved
, for should
one
die
his
spirit
would
call
to the
spirit
of the
other
and he would have to
go
.
Eskimos
never
cheat
each
other
but
think
it
a
virtue
to
cheat
a
white
man
. They
most
always
send
another
to
trade
for them as this
gives
the
traders
a
chance
to
criticize
the
goods
which
would be
discourteous
if the
owner
were
present
.
Good
bye
in
Eskimo
means
"
I
am
sorry
to
see
you
go
" If
you
are
calling
at an
Eskimo
home
you
should not
leave
until
your
hostess
tells
you
you
may
go
. If a
man
and his
wife
go
to
another
village
to
trade
and
stay
a
few
days
it
is
a
courtesy
for the
men
to
trade
wives
.
Don
Brand
has
identified
the
woman
pictured
here as
Nora
Ootenna
of the
Port
Wales
area
. She
married
George
Otenna
and they
ran
one
of the
largest
reindeer
herds
in
Alaska
.
