Eskimo Family At Fort Magnesia Cape Sabine , Ellsmere Land Keystone Stereoview. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class. V13334 AN ESKIMO FAMILY AT FORT MAG-NESIA, CAPE SABINE, ELLES-MERE LAND We are at Fort Magnesia on Cape Sabine, projecting from the extreme eastern coast of Ellesmere Land. Ellesmere Land, in the archipelago directly north of Hudson’s Bay, is separated from Greenland by Smith Strait. Here we see a typical Eskimo family with the father seated nearest us. The Eskimo has deep affection for his family. This kindness extends not alone to his own flesh and blood, but to orphans and other dependents who are unable to care for themselves. It is rare for an Eskimo to inflict physical punishment on a child, even for disobedience. The children are rarely disobedient, however, and the whole race are sunny and optimistic in disposition. Their food consists almost entirely of the fish and meat which they can catch and trap. After they have accumulated a certain quantity of skins they travel by sledge to the nearest settlement and exchange the fur for flour and sugar and a few of the products of which they are most fond and have the greatest need. You can see here that their clothes are made of skins. They build stone igloos or houses in which they live in more or less permanent villages; but when they are traveling they live largely in the open, rolling themselves up in skins to sleep at night. they build they to de smal nists e Sher times no ever. wood, and in some instances they make a tent of skins. As they are rather nomadic in habit, housekeeping arrangements are of the simplest. Copyright by The Keystone View Company
