Munn Says GIVES REASONS Caribou and Reindeer sential as Food for Northerners Es The little known area lying east of the Mackenzie River and west of Da- vis Straits, wealthy in its minerals, fts furs and its reindeer development was orally explored and its features of interest brought to the minds of a numerous audience by Capt. H, T. Munn, F.R.G.S., ploneer explorer of the Canadian Northwest, addressing the Canadian Club luncheon in Momnt- real recently. Capt. Munn also voiced a plea for measures to prevent the ex- tinction of the Eskimo race in the Northwest. As a preliminary he drew attention to the huge herds of reindéer now roaming around in Alaska, all the re- sult of settlement of 120 reindeer some years ago by the United States. Coming to the Mackenzie River terri- tory, he spoke of the ravages worked by the white man in the destruction of the caribou. There were places in which the Eskimo natives were dying of starvation to-day because of the ax- termination of the caribou. The cari- bou. was the most Important animal to order to obtain enough' cheque for The well known the boy a3 Jeu the D Sages Sd story refused to charge any fee fOr operating on the cripple gir) and now, three years after the operation, is able to walk for the first time since her birth.

The hospital's chaFges far exceed the '£260 which Alfred earned in the lion's den, but those in charge of the institution will refuse to -press their claim in view ofthe herofc devotion shown by the brother for his baby sister, the Eskimo, because it not only sup- #| plied food but. clothing of the best kind for she Eskimo. Fur Stations. He regretted the practice of fur col- lecting stations' giving the native 'a high-power rifle and telling him to go inland, shoot caribou to Mye and trap as many foxes as he could, The tem- tation of the new toy was too great for the native, and he would kill cari- bou until there was no ammuyition left or no caribou. This northern territory was the na- tural habitat of - the Eskimos. If it were to be developed as reindeer. pas- turage, or as a land of white settle- ment for mineral development; the help of the Eskimo population of Bri- tish territory was steadily diminigh- ing. He pointed" to experiments which the/ Danish Government had carred out in protection and education of Eskimos, with great success. He be- lleved the establishment of reinder pasturage, the settlement of the land by proper traders, the introduction of police, medical officers and so on, to teach the Eskimo to take care of him- self in his new. condition, would do a great deal to,prevent the extermina- tion of the Eskimoh, Present Population, The present Eskimo population of the Mackenzie River territory was about 5,500. A few years ago it was 10,000. He was afraid the depletion of the Eskimo population was not al- ministration. Capt.
