There are a few wolves out in the country following the reindeer, and Sam Nuipok shot this one in April, 1928. Thru the glasses he saw it kill eight reindeer in one hour before he could get close enough to shoot it. The wolfe [wolf] killed the deer then loped away on the scent of another one. The bounty was $25.00.

This is sunset, 10 miles from Nome where I was squirrel hunting with two women. Notice the snow shoes standing in the snow in front of the cabin. The middle pair are mine. I wore white man’s kind. This was taken the 15th of May 1928.

I took this at Cripple River last July. The natives didn't bury underground in the early days but built a casket of driftwood, just propped poles and rocks against it to hold it together, and laid logs or rocks on it to protect it from animals. Of course the wood falls in after years and the bones are exposed.

This is a view of the same burying place. In the outlying districts they still have this custom. There are caskets set all over the tundra some half a mile from any others. They use nails now, and cover the casket with muslin, stretched and tacked. All caskets here are built on that plan, none are shipped in from the outside.

These people are hooking tomcod through the ice; I was out with them that day, the middle of May. The fish won’t bite. Three hooks are fastened together on a sinker, then lowered to the bottom of the sea, and jiggled up and down gently. When a fish is passing it becomes impaled on the hook and is drawn to the surface. That is my dog in the foreground.
