A reindeer potlatch given last i
Wednesds v evening by Knri Has- '
niussen, the noted Danish explorer,
now in Nome, to the 10 Eskimos
who recently arrived from Nunivak I
Island, was a grand success. Mr. i
Rasmussen took advantage of the ;
opportunity to get in close touch :
with these primitive natives while |
here, to acquaint, himself with ■
their customs and language, there- 1
by possibly saving himself a spec
ial trip to the Island.
Mr. Rasmussen, who recently re- j
turned from East Cape. Siberia, j
was prevented from a lengthy stay ;
at that place by the Soviet officials.
However, several of the natives ,
came aboard the vessel which gave
him a good opportunity to obtain
the information he was seeking
He found that it was as easy to
talk to the Eskimos of Siberia at
that point, as it was for him to
(onverse with the Eskimos of
Greenland. The Teddy Rear, with
Captain Joe Bernard in command,
was chartered for the trip.
