Inscribed beneath images: Tuktoyaktuk No. 118 Eskimo children play until the are exhausted regardless of the time of day or night. In this part of the Western Arctic whiteman's bedding has replaced the native skins that are more common in other parts of Eskimo Territory. Tuktoyaktuk No. 119. Same as 116. Tuktoyaktuk No. 120. In this part of the Western Arctic homes are made from driftwood piled along the Arctic shore. Drift logs are spewed from not only Canadian but American and Russian Rivers and are cast up on to the beaches by the Arctic currents. Tuktoyaktuk No. 121. This is Fred Carpenter the Boss-Eskimo of this region. He is no stranger to a $20,00 to $30,000 income a year from the white fox when they were at a good price. Tuktoyaktuk No. 122. Same as 115. Tuktoyaktuk No. 123. Same as 120. Tuktoyaktuk No. 124. Eskimos in this part of the Western Arctic have learned to use Whiteman's equipment. The women have found that the wood range is a very practical thing. Many of the Eskimos in other parts of Eskimo Territory would find little value in such a piece of kitchen equipment as no wood would be available.
