Excerpt from Greenland by the Polar Sea: The Story of the Thule Expedition From Melville Bay to Cape Morris JesupRasmussen's tribute to the work done by his predecessors in Arctic exploration is most generous and discriminating; he shows that he understood their difficulties, though they were not his in the same way, and what they accomplished he is eager to recognize and admire. They, or such of them as remain, in their turn are glad and ready to say that what he and his com panions have added to the sum of Polar knowledge by their detailed mapping of the coast-lands - the fauna, &#64258;ora, and geological formation of the north-western section of Greenland and its connection with the discoveries of the eastern coasts has set the crown on the labours of those who have toiled before him in the same field, and that his fine achievement has for ever put him in the front rank of Polar explorers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Intellectual Culture of the Iglulik Eskimos (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Intellectual Culture of the Iglulik EskimosAnd it has always been one of my main objects, in the portrayal of primitive culture, to get the natives' own views of life and its problems, their own ideas expressed in their own fashion. This was often quite as important to me as eliciting new elements in their religious and spiritual life.I therefore think it will not be out of place to commence this book with an account of my method of work and the manner in which I first gained the confidence of my Eskimo collaborators.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Observations on the Intellectual Culture of the Caribou EskimosWhile with these people I endeavoured especially to enter into their intellectual life and their religious notions, and in the following I shall describe the results of these studies. But if my statement is to some extent summary and the material is presented in somewhat raw form, it is because this tribe has already been dealt with so thoroughly by birket-smith that my contribution aims merely at revealing certain aspects of this people's intellectual culture which are not included in birket-smith's book.It is true that the Caribou Eskimos in these regions have formerly been visited by such prominent travellers as the Tyrrell brothers and by Hanbury, but as these expeditions had other objects than the study of the people, and particularly as none of them could speak Eskimo. The material we succeeded in procuring will in all essentials be new.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
