Creator Transcript
  • Journal. Aklavik. July 18/47 [1947]. Left Reindeer Station at 7:30 this morning + arrived Aklavik just before 6 P.M. Clear hot, windless day. Very little bird life in evidence hereabout or on the route followed today. Gulls at Aklavik have increased noticeably. In the evening had a chat with Dr [J.] Harvey, He has just returned from his trip up river giving out treaty money + is most upset with the conditions he has found. He says that the majority of Indians are on the verge of starvation, no money + only fish to eat + none too much of that. During the break up many had nothing for two weeks or so. He states that conditions are particularly bad from Arctic Red River to Good Hope + Norman. He states that moose are to be had but the natives are afraid to take them. He also states that beaver are reported by many natives to be overabundant in the area around Good Hope + that some dead animals have been found, + others so poor as to be almost useless for food. He is of the opinion that trap line registration will be of relatively little use
