A tj^pical Copper Eskimo lamp, carved out of soapstone husband one spring, spent the summer around^Tree(river, and returned to her own land the following winter with a large lamp and a pot that they had made. This was in fact the object of their journey, although neither of them had ever seen a lamp or a pot manufactured before.

This was in fact the object of their journey, although neither of them had ever seen a lamp or a pot manufactured before. The majority of the natives of Coronation gulf do the same thing at some time or other in their lives, for fresh soapstone (talc chlorite schist) such as is found at Tree river requires no great skill in handling, and can be adzed quite easily even, with so soft a metal as copper. It is only natural that the local natives should often make extra pots and lamps for trading purposes, but they by no means specialize in this industry, nor rank in any way as professional Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-1918).
