The natives have been taught to dry
their berries and to preserve their
garden vegetables. Their diet of fish
is augmented by reindeer meat and
game. Part of the work of the gov
ernment is to teach the backward na
tives the principles of sanitation and
to make provision for the winter
months.
Whether the natives be progressive
or backward, they are given the best
medical and dental aid obtainable. An
indication of tha scope el. this pro
fessional work is found, in. the.record
for the season .just ended. . The den-.
