. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Dwellings 67 sandspit where the snow was deep enough to build a house, and the passages were made separate to keep the dogs of the two famihes from fighting with one an- other. Kanaiyok's family consisted, besides himself, of his wife Akulluk, their baby daughter Kavva, and his father Tupik. With Arnaktak were his wife Kulahuk and her Uttle son Tannaumik, and two single men, brothers, not closely connected with the family, named Tunnerittok and Agluak; in the previous settlement which the Eskimos had just abandoned these two men had lived in a hut of their own (see Fig. 21). Sometimes, as in Fig. 16, two houses comparatively far apart have their passages joined near the entrance. This is convenient in stormy weather, wheii the snow drifts into the passageways and requires constant shovelling. One of these huts was inhabited by a man named Haviuyak, his wife Pikhugyuk, and their unmarried son Avalittok; in the other dwelt Kuniluk, his wife Kormiak and their three boys, Niptanatsiak, Taipanna and Kulitana, the last a baby about twelve months Fig. 16. Two houses erected some distance apart, but jomed at their entrances When I joined the settlement of Puivlik Eskimos on the coast of southwest Victoria island in November, 1914, I went to live in a double hut similar to that represented in Fig. 19, one side of which was inhabited by a man named Haviuyak and his wife Itokanna, the other by Haviuyak's father Haviron and his two younger brothers, Utuallu, a youth of about sixteen years and Haugak, a boy of perhaps eight (see Fig. 22). About a week later an Eskimo named Aksiatak brought his family across the straits and joined the settlement, partly for the sake of company, but mainly because he was short of food and the Puivlir- muit had an abundance of caribou meat and fish. He then built a separate hut on the outskirts of their settlement; but three weeks later, when the whole band migrated s
