To the north the Eskimo might seem to dwell in a more barren land, but not so, for he has an ever abundant supply of game from the sea, seal in winter, fish in summer, but here are only the rabbit, the caribou, and small game.

The Indians would starve if they could not trade their furs for a little flour, traps, guns, and cloth to fight the cold and aid the hunter.

Even then it is hard.

The Indians cannot live in villages, except at a post, like Adare House.

Such a large number of people living in one spot could not feed themselves, and in the winter each family goes to its own allotted hunting grounds.
