KjMiiasi WHITE WAYS NOT WELCOMED Explorer Telia of Dire Results of "Civ- lllxatlon" Among the Esklmoa That He Has Known. Cold figures and facta presented by Vllhajalmar Stefansson show why ho wishes to protect his "blond Eskl-moa" Eskl-moa" from contact with the whites. He says In tho Geographical Mngazlno that according to records In tho GO years up to 1910 tho Mackenzie rlvor Eskimos "have been civilized, Christianized Chris-tianized and reduced by white men's diseases from over 2,000 to less than 40. In 1911 thero were at Capo Uathurst about 40 civilized Eskimos, partly Mackenzie river peoplo and partly emigrants, and out of that 40 a good 20 were BerlouBly 111, two of them permanently lnsano, whllo In an uncivilized group (which from tho very beginning, has been Isolated from whlto men) we found only one sick, an old man who had been blind for something llko eight years. "And not only wore many of tho civilized Mackenzlo people chronically chronical-ly 111, but they wero bIbo Insufficiently Insufficient-ly clothed and Insufficiently fed. Thero was In 1911 probably not a single Individual In-dividual In the Prlnco Albert sound group who did not have at least two completo suits of warm skin clothing and many had soveral suits, while among the civilized Eskimos of tho Mackenzlo at any tlmo between 1908 and 1912 a man who had even ono good suit was hard to And. Most of them are so poorly clad that thoy are unable to hunt seal In winter through being Insufficiently protected from tho cold. "This lnsuaclency of clothing ie tho result of two things: First, tho Introduction In-troduction of rifles has destroyed tho caribou upon which they depended for clothing, and, secondly, the multiplication multiplica-tion of new wants, Buch as tho deslro for tea, tobacco, sugar and ammunition, ammuni-tion, forces them to barter for these expensive luxuries the skins which thoy might otherwise havo used to dress In for tho cold." |
