CLOTHING FOR THE NATIVES 
Reindeer were first introduced into Alaska to assist the natives to become self-supporting, and the 
animals now furnish the people of the far north with food, clothing and transportation. Trained 
veterinarians and animal husbandmen are needed to study and advise methods of control of 
reindeer diseases and to teach the Eskimos how to maintain their herds and improve the quality 
of the stock. Photograph by Lomen Bros. (Fig. 9.)
