IVORY MARKET
FOR NATIVES OF
N0RTHPLANNED
Individual Sales to Be Dis
continued in Hope of
Building Industry

The practice Of selling ivory
goods made by the natives of the
Arctic direct to individuals will be
discontinued after this year by the
Indian Office and efforts made to
build up a more substantial COM
mercial industry along that line
for the benefit of the native
craftsmen. it was announced today
by c. M. Hirst, Education Director
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
who arrived at his headquarters
here last night aboard the bureau
vessel North Star from the Arctic
The Director said he had con-
tacted dealers in native articles all
along the way from the Arctic
south and found that they were
unable to get sufficient supply to
meet their demands. Thus in the
future it is planned to dispose of
such goods direct to the dealers in
those articles with the aim of
creating an established market for
the natives of the north and as
surfing them permanent income.
1--WE could have disposed of twice
the amount of goods we brought
south on the North Star this trip"
the Director said, land everywhere
found the dealer demand more
than we could meet. Right here in
Alaska there is a big market for
ivory products aside from the tour
list trade OF summer and we should
be able to build up an established
market for our native people in
stead of the custom of selling to
individuals which has been fol-
lowed"
Furthering the program, Mr.
Hirst said that V. r. Farrell, who
has been teaching at Nome, has
been appointed to have charge of
native arts and crafts work and
will be stationed here to direct the
activities, Mrs. Farrell arriving here
with him on the North Star. Mr..
Farrell has had supervision of the
work in the Arctic and has know
ledge of what the natives can pro-
duce and the volume.
The idea may be extended to the
reindeer trade, Mr.. Hirst said, if
cooperation of meat dealers can
be assured, thus creating another
established market for native out
put.
Our ambition is to build a perm
anent industry for the native peo-
pie of the north SO that they may
have the economic independence to
which they are entitled he said.
On his extensive trip, the Di-
rector contacted most of the In
dian schools and reported them
getting along in good shape.
