Individuals belonging to these villages make extensive travels and come into contact with the natives of the northern coast of Hudson Bay and of the mainland northwest of Hudson Bay. Only Eskimo tribes are known to them.
The principal descriptions of these tribes are found in the following publications:
Boas, Franz. The Central Eskimo (6th Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, Washington, 1888).
The Eskimo of Baffin Land and Hudson Bay (Bulletin, vol. XX, American Museum of Natural History, New York, 1901, 1907).
Other important publications may be found in the bibliographies attached to these volumes. The most important recent publication on the Eskimo of Greenland is:
Thalbitzer, William. The Ammassalik Eskimo; Meddelelser om Gronland, vol. XXXIX, Copenhagen, 1914.
ILLUSTRATOR’S NOTES
Takes-the-pipe, a Crow Warrior
The center, a pair of Crazy-Dog sashes. Also the figures connected with the warrior’s visions—the moon, the buffalo, the bear. The stick used by the Hammer Stick Society; that used in counting “coup”; that planted in the ground by the aspirant for the rank of chief, as he leads in fight. At top, the moths the boy rubbed on his chest; Takes-the-pipe’s moccasins; at bottom his captured horses. At sides, a skin ornament worn by Crow medicine men.
