Postcard: An Eskimo Family, Greenland
Transcript: Text on back of card
AN ESKIMO FAMILY, GREENLAND – This race of people are considered one of the most hardiest of the human family. They get their subsistence from hunting by sea, using for the purpose skin-boats where the sea is open, and dog sledges on the ice. From the skin, blubber and flesh of the seal and the cetaceous animals they procure clothes, light and food. They rarely withdraw more than twenty miles from the seashore. The Eskimo dog is a hardy and powerful animal, in form resembling the shepherd dog. He is used by the natives and explorers as a beast of burden.
Message for my Grade 6 students: Please don't forget –in our classroom we refer to the original inhabitants of the Arctic as Inuit (not Eskimo) and we use the term ethnic group (not race).
Very unique! I love it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely reminder. I do enjoy all types of cultures and peoples. God made them like flowers, each with their distinct fragrance and color. Some grow in hardy circumstances, others in the tropics. (Grin)
