Tah-tah-rahq (three years old, 1917) with one of the sleds which the Crocker Land Expedition took north to the Eskimo children. An Eskimo boy does not often have a little sledge to play with be- cause there is seldom more than enough wood to make the family's big sledge — nevertheless he some- times has a great frolic sliding down hard snow slopes without a sled.

He must become self-supporting early and so must learn very much from his father: to make snow and stone igloos; to drive the dogs and make and mend the harness and the sledge; to use the rifle; to skin the game; to make harpoons, floats, kayaks; and finally when he is about fourteen, to hunt the seal, the walrus, and the polar bear
