Talk On Eskimo
Program AT
Rotary Meeting

Pascagoula Rotarians and Wis.
itors heard a talk on Eskimo trib-
al customs and background by
Capt. Robert ]. Biasiolli, KeesleI
Field chaplain, at the regular
weekly luncheon meeting Wed.
nesday at the Country club.
Capt Biasiolli's talk dealt with
the Eskimo tribes that dwell in
extreme North Canada in the vi
einity of the magnetic pole whose
barren country has rarely been
penetrated by a white man. He
went there in 1899 and stayed un-
til 1912, during which time he
remained completely out of touch
with the outside world, lived
with the Eskimo tribes and ex-
listed off the land.
The Eskimos in this region have
not been exposed to the white
man and as a result have not in
herited his diseases or corrupting
influences, as the more Southerly
Eskimo tribes have, Capt. Biasi-
olli said.
The Eskimos are nomadic and
shift around the huge and sparse
ly settled area in which they re-
side in seeking food and susie
nance. Their language is almost
perfect and their tribal customs
magnificent.
Capt. Biasiolli explained their
marriage customs and other trib-
al customs concerning the con-
tinuous search for food, rearing
of children and religious beliefs.
He also told of an incident when,
accompanied by an Eskimo, he
was lost in the snow covered
wastes for % days, IA of which
they were without food.
Thomas S. Leatherbury, presi-
dent, announced that next week
the club would hold a joint meet
ing with the Kiwanis club at
its regular weekly meeting on
Wednesday.
