Arctic, reports wolf depredations on the reindeer country Herds which in the summer showed substantial num- ew when the fall roundup occurred T T And this L m the the rease in ber the were only a wolves hav e terrific ads. despite the employm of hunters, the distribution of 4raps and other equipment to the native people to aid them in their war against the wolves [ The reason, ys the Biological Survey man, is| | lack of herding. The reindeer are permitted to wan- der at will, becoming easy prey for the wolves, where- by. if closely herded, the wolves would have to approach the herds and the herdsman would have not only ® better opportunity to protect his herd but a better chance to capture the wolf or wolves, Gubser explained. It sounds perfectly logical. But why won't the Eskimo take advantage of it and herd his animals? Gubser says it is because the imo doesn't care for that sort.of thing. He isn't by nature a herdsman and he tires quickly of such a routine task. Charley Brower, the Point Barrow pioneer who has lived among the Eskimos for fifty years, said the same thing when he went through here 1th several months ago. The Eskimo, Brower explained, is a hunter. He has always hunted for his food and it is natural for him to do so. When he returns from the hunt vic- torious, he, naturally enough, doesn't see any percen- tage in going out and riding herd on a bunch of reindeer. It seems to simmer down to the simple fact that the white man’s curse is upon them in the Arctic Just as it has been_upon_ primitive people the world over. The grasping” white man rushed In, a Bible in one hand and a bottle of liquor in the other, to wish upon the native every balmy idea to disrupt kis normal mede of livi We ‘have done everything to the Arctic native EMPIRE | ¢ except leave him alone to live as he chooses.

Of course, it work, but that doesn’t make any go right on doing it. The Congress the benefit of the native and the bureaus to do with such things will spend the the assumption of being a great white native. The field representatives of bureaus will come back from their field trips report that this or that native is to survive because it isn’t in line with his of things. But will the bureau pay any at- Not while it has any money to spend and determined souls who are set on helping the ative, even if it kills him. That is the white man’s bureaucratical way of doing things—Xkill or cure. Our record is that we invariably kill. So the Arctic native hasn’t a chance. He can't be a white man because white man’s ways do not work in his country, and he can’t be an Eskimo because the won't we'll priate which money for have under ather to the these and cheme tention? a few white man will not let him.
