FI IS NEVER USED
B» TIE ESKIMOS
EXCEPT FOB COOKING
(Continued from yesterday)
A private house is called “Nna”
(pron. enna) which means a
winter house. The well known
term “iglu” refers only to a hut
built of blocks of hard snow. The
' nna is much smaller than the
kazhga and erected upon the sur
face of the ground. Around the
three sides of the interior extends
the bed platform, which is about
five feet wide and 12 inches above
the floor.
This platform is called “inglok”
and is covered with mats woven
of fine dried grass. There is no
fire pit in the nna so the cen
tral space is bare ground and is
generally occupied by the young
puppies.
Fires are never used except for
cooking and when a fire is need
ed it is kindled in the middle of
the floor and the rhalok remov
ed to let the smoke out. The na
tives near the various trading
<) posts have made much progress
in improving their houses, but
generally these abodes are cold,
gloomy and filthy. The air with
in is utterly foul, as the ventila
tor is never opened. The dirty
habits of the natives and the
stench arising from stale blub
ber, semi-putrid fish etc- render
a visit in a native house almost
unbearable to the stranger.
During the short Arctic summer
these underground residences of
ten become uninhabitable be
cause of the dampness.
Before winter sets in the Es
kimo lays up a big supply of
dried grass for household use
The women display remarkable
skill in weaving the grass intc
a variety of useful objects. Espe
P cially the baskets and mats that
are woven from carefuly selected
grass and when finished are beau
tiful examples of their handi
work. The main use of the com
mon dried grass is for the native
foot-gear. Every morning a frest
whisp of it is neately folded anc
inserted into the seal-skin boot
The dried grass is called ‘chan
gut.”
