c, Two women of Anvik, on the Yukon, somewhat Eskimoid
Pure bloods.—The Yukon Indians are a sparse and largely mixed population. The mixture is especially evident in the children and the younger generation. It is mainly that with whites, but in the lower settlements there is also a good deal of older mixture with the Eskimo. There is fortunately as yet no Negro admixture.
General type.—The full bloods are typically Indian, though not of the pronounced plains type. The type is fairly uniform, but there is not seldom, even up the river, as elsewhere in Alaska, a suggestion of something Eskimoid in the physiognomy.
Color.—The color in general is near medium brown, ranging to lighter rather than darker. The hair is the usual full black of the Indian.
Stature and strength.—- The stature and build are generally near medium, rather slightly below than above.
Head form.—The head is generally moderately rounded high meso- to moderately brachycephalic. The face is medium Indian.
Body.—The body proportions seldom impress one with unusual strength, yet some of the men are by no means weaklings. The most fitting term by which to characterize conditions in this respect is again "medium," with an occasional deviation one way or the other.
