News From
Point Hope
( From the ANICA News )
Alec M. Melik, acting manager
of the Point Hope Native Store,
sent us this very newsy letter:
Mr. and Mrs. Rowiand Cox are
back from their vacation in the
States and again performing their
duties in the St. Thomas Mission.
Some of the residents are back
from thei. seasonal jobs, and
again adjusting themselves to
hunting and dogteams. I would
also like to mention that Jimmie
Killigvuk is back from his long
visit with his children and fam
ilies in the southeastern part of
Alaska. Those who know him can
guess that he brought back a bag
full of Eskimo songs of his own
rendition, which are much liked
by the Eskimo dancer.
It will once again stir the urg
ing bug of Big Game hunters
. . . that the Polar Bears are again
roaming o’er the plain. The local
hunters are getting polar bear
just about every day whenever
the weather is good. I’m sure the
season will yield her increase
more abundantly than previous
years.
Mr. Frederick Fisher, the ANS
teacher here, caught his first
oogruk (that weighed a good half
ton) some time ago, and he is
looking forward to shooting his
first Polar Bear.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
A very interesting Christmas
story is associated with the con
stellation Orion, which unques
tionably is the finest of the con
stellations.
Orion can be located easily by
means of three bright stars lying
nearly in a straight line in the
middle of the constellation. They
represent the belt of the giant
hunter, Orion.
To many children in warmer
climates in the West Indies and
South America, the three bright
stars making up the belt of Orion
represent the Three Wise Men
riding their camels across the sky
seeking to find the Christ Child.
It is believed by the southern
people that on a certain night the
camels descend to the earth to
leave presents for all the children
under their beds.
The children are eager to help
the camels on their journey, and
so they leave a little bundle of
straw beneath their beds.
