Reindeer in the Arctic

Authors

  • C. L. Andrews

Abstract

"The reindeer is to the Eskimo what the buffalo of the plains was to the Indian, and more. From its skin he gets his arteegee (parka), his pants, his boots. From its flesh he feeds his family. From its sinew his wife makes her thread, and his children sleep in robes of its skin... It gives him his couch upon which he is born, and it furnishes his shroud when he dies."
