Title	Malamut Indians Moving Camp, Alaska
Description	Title taken from caption. "11540 -- (34) On the lower Yukon and the eastern shores of Behring Sea, the skin canoe and boat are the only native means of transportation. During the open or summer season, when it is desired to make a speedy journey, or when hunting the seal and the walrus, the Indians utilize a small boat known as a 'kiak,' but when they have a large amount of supplies to support, or in moving their families from place to place, they employ large open boats which consists of a strong frame work of wood over which walrus skins are tightly stretched. These boats will carry several thousand pounds, and the Malamuts are at home wherever they tie up their boats." "John Clum U.S.P.O. (United States Post Office) Copyright, 1900, by B. L.
