Typed caption: Cst. Casey talking to a native woman at Eskimo Point. The Eskimos here seems to be particularly poverty stricken. One sees very few canvas tents, most being frames covered with caribou hides. This fact in itself, however, is not bad for skin tents are quite warm. The main difficulty experienced by the Eskimo Point natives is in obtaining fuel. There are certainly no trees and they obtain few seals from which they could get seal oil. As a result they rely largely upon a kind of moss for fuel.
