Now, the future of this race is that, practically, they will perish from off the face of the globe unless they are Christianized— and that soon.

Página 26 - In the summer months, after the snow has disappeared, the shrubs, the grasses, and mosses which cover them are kept intensely green by the almost perpetual fogs and showers. The dugout disappears with the forests, and its place is taken by the bidarka, a narrow canoe of sea lion or walrus hide tightly stretched over frames of driftwood. It has two, sometimes three circular hatches, just large enough to admit a man's body. The hatches are usually furnished with an apron which is fastened around the...
