Early American Settlers to Be Object of Study Dr. Hrdlicka Arrives on Northland — Leaves Soon on Expedition Working against time in an ef- fort to retrieve that whiclr the ages have both nreserved and destroyed, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka has arrived in Juneau and leaves soon, commenc- ing a scientific survey trip encom- passing various historic points in the Territory. The origin of American aborigines is the broad subject of the scien- tific surv ponsored by the Smith- sonian Institute, in which Dr. Hrd- licka is continuing research begun in previous years’ of excavation and study in the Territory. The first stop will be at Sitka, from whence he and his party, veling aboard the U. S. Coast Guard cutter Tal- lapoosa, will travel to Yakutat and on o the Westward. In line with deductions made from excavations of ruins of various pri- mitive communities in Alaska, Dr. Hrdlicka is following the premise that American aborigines came to the Territory from Asia. The ori- ginal move to the American contin- ent from Siberia was not a momen- tous event, he states, but an inevi- table one. The theory of Asiatic ori- gin of American peoples is borne out by the Asiatic physiognomy of the ecarly inhabitants, Dr. Hrdlicka further pointed out. Outlining plans for his trip, Dr. Hrdlicka stated that the expedition is faced with a battle against time, for with alarming rapidity the in- valuable remains of primitive Am- erican life are being destroyed. “Modern white people are more savage than the savages,” he stated, “when a question of social value is placed side by side with monetary gain. Hundreds of rare fragments of former periods are taken care- lessly by those who do not properly value them, or the relics are al- lowed to be destroyed with no thought of their worth to science.” Perhaps the most flagrant ex- ample of {his, he states, is the fact that the Territory is allowing fox DO YOU KNOW?
