2 to 1.
The RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] corporal spoke of a native
managed cooperative of 20 +/- families
at Christian Village, Alaska - just below
Fort Yukon.
Had a 3 hour session with Archdeacon [D.B.]
Marsh. He feels very emphatically that
the registered trap line system will
not work out for the Eskimos. Says
that they themselves at an all
Eskimo meeting asked for an Eskimo
area N [North] of Aklavik channel, within
which the incumbent whites would
retain their rights but could
transfer only to natives.
His reason for feeling that the system
will not work is that the Eskimo
must stay where he can get food.
Just now rats have represented
food, as cash but if rats cease
to occupy this position, they will
move to the coast to places where
food can be obtained.
He states that the the Alaskan
Eskimos came in here after the
gov't [government] took over trading posts +
closed up a lot of them. The
Alaskans came to Aklavik to
trade + stayed to trap + shoot
If they leave for food how long
will their lines be held for them.
