COOP STORE
North S Most Primitive
Tribe Goes Into White
Man Business

Primitive ma tives of Nunivak
Island, living perhaps the least
TOUCHED existence of any tribe in
the North, rose to a strange new
plane of living ten days ago.
Under the Indian Reorganization
Act, the 200 and some odd natives
of the island have taken over the
old Lomen store there and are to
operate it collectively with cagey
native business head Paul Ivanoff
to be manager.
Only five or six natives speak the
English language on the island, ac-
cording to Don Hagerty, Field Agent
for the Indian Reorganization Act,
who returned few days ago from
N1nivak.
Nunivak natives won't sell liquor
at their store, Hagerty declared, and
added, They don't want liquor on
the island"
Only whites on the island are Mr..
and Mrs Dale Steuart, teachers for
the Office of Indian Affairs.
Assets of the island are foxes and
reindeer, the latter of which is a
herd of 1900 animals recently pur-
chased by the Government for the
Nunivak tribe. Nunivak Eskimos
make ivory carvings, baskets and
mukluks.
Only two Office of Indian Affairs
ship calls are made each year at
Nunivak. Almost every year one
cutter calls in. Otherwise, Nunivak
and its village of Mekoryuk is en-
tirely isolated from the rest of the
world.
