Abstract:
The slides show the lives and culture of the Eskimos on Little Diomede and Buckland. Many of the families and individuals are identified. Traditional activities such as walrus hunting, skinning, burial customs, the schools and school children, sod homes, fishing are depicted and the narrative offers history and additional information. A recorded narrative and transcription accompany the slides. Slide no. 1-58 (Part 1) depicts their time in Buckland and nos. 3-77 (Part 2) were taken in Little Diomede. The numbering in the Little Diomede index reflects the omission of some slides.
