ESKIMO COMMUNITY
 IS SELF GOVERNED
Natives of Point Hope Anticipate Prohibition
 by Three Years

An unusually interesting story of a self-governing Eskimo community at Point Hope, Alaska, was brought to public attention recently by the Rev William A. Thomas, Episcopal mis- sionary at Point Hope, when he re. turned to his headquarters in Chicago. Tn his report Mir. Thomas states that, under the tutelage of the missionaries, equal suffrage has been established among the Tigara, who annually, in town meeting, elect from themselves the Otnalik, or Council of leading men, who fl, turn make the local laws and see to their enforcement. These na- tives of the frozen North even have their own prohibition law, which they adopted three years before the prohi.
 bition amendment was put through in the United States. Their venture in
 self-government was undertaken six years ago, after the breakdown of the autocratic rule of a tribal chief. In speaking of the Omalik, MT. Thomas said:
 Originally, this body was com posed of seven men, but it was found later that five was better number. From the beginning of the experiment the right of suffrage was given to men in h0 op the council. Christmas was fixed as the day of the election, because on that day all of the tribesmen come into the settlement for feasting and merry making, and we are able thereby to get the fullest expression of the senti ment of the people. The names are written on blackboard, and the five obtaining the greater number of votes are declared elected, while that one of the five who receives the greatest number of votes become the chief councilman. Because of the fact that the Eskimo is singularly orderly and law-abiding, the work of the Omalik is largely confined to the enactment of routine municipal regulations. There are no police and no courts. I could cite many quaint illustrations of the manner in which Eskimo self-govern- ment works. For example, the Omalik | has a regulation against any gossips. | Any person, male or female, found | guilty of gossiping, is called before the entire community and publicly re- buked by the chief of the Omalik. All forms of lying are drowned upon, but particularly by the young. A young man caught lying to his parents is sentenced to carry certain amount of water for the public use, or, as an to give a days time to assisting some aged pair in cleaning up their igloo or hut"
