BURIAL OF THE ESKIMO
Custom Of Leaving the Bodies Above
Ground May BE Abolished
New York Evening Postl

New York Evening Post)
A pile of bare bones bleaching on a
frozen Northern hill, which Nature
tries her best to conceal, in summer
with Il growth of rich-hued Arctic flow
ers and in winter with winding
sheet of snow-this till now has mark
ed the burial place of the Alaskan
Eskimo From the Cape of Prince
Wales to the last outpost of man near
est the pole, virtually every ridge and
headland in that country is a Golgotha,
place of skulls. Now this heartless
custom of leaving the bodies to the
mercies of preying animals-decreed
by Nature, tools perhaps soon to
pass. Bishop p. T. Rowe, of the Epis-
copal church, recently ordered the
skulls and bones of some one thous-
and Eskipos, dead long ago, to be col
lected and Inferred in the churchs
burial ground at Point Hope. and the
white men will try to teach the ma
tives other practices.
Travellers in the Arctic regions say
that nothing so impresses them as
these weird ever-present piles of whit
ened skulls. Some have lain for CEN
turtles on their beds of moss, their
hollow eyes looking toward the Polar
stars; and they crumble like chalk
into dust at the touch.
When explained, the Eskimos' prac-
tice in this matter seems reasonable
enough. In winter the digging of a
grave is impossible; and even in mid
summer the ground beneath the cov-
ering of vegetation is frozen hard.
Through this the Eskimos' tools can
not cut. Moreover, the thought that
dead comrade might lie in icy water
in his grave is unbearable to native.
So, in reality, the old social kindness
of the North is back of the custom of
this disposition of the dead.
The funeral of an Eskimo is a cere-
mony of short mourning and long and
hilarious jubilation, always including
dog race. AS with other primitive
peoples, the Eskimos are children in
their emotions, and their grief Is short
lived. Soon after death comes the
body, fully dressed, Is placed upon a
sledge. A boy runs ahead of the team,
crying, "Hak! Hak!" and all the ma
tlves of the village go pell-mell to-
ward the burial place on the ridge
top Once the body is put upon the
snow, the race begins; men, women
and children, crack teams and every
NANCY malamute pup eHters--froen
seal meat from every igloc for him
who crosses the tundra and reaches
the village first. There is NO more
mourning. p
Formerly 1t was the custom, like
that OF the Indians. to put all posses
sions Of the dead one by his side.
Weapons which were the pride of the
greatest hunter of the tribe, tools and
ornaments of flint, slate, Jade and iv-
ory and copper were left beside him.
Perhaps great whale ribs were stuck
in the ground nearby to honor him
who had been best harpooner. And
before the white mans trinkets and
bad whisky came to tempt, NO Eskimo
was ever known to steal from the
dead, Now nearly everything of val
ne in barter has been taken from the
burial places.
