72 REPORT ON INTRODUCTION OF 



one or two exceptions, we have found tliem faithful herders. They are 

 able, without the aid of Siberians, to go to the herd, lasso sled deer, 

 harness them, hitch them to sled, and drive to the house. At times 

 those who are from distant settlements become homesick. Wlien it 

 has been practicable, we have let them visit their homes once during 

 the year, with good results. There has been little or no friction 

 among the natives of the different tribes, but now, as the year is 

 closing, we think we can see indications of tribal jealousy arising, 

 which in another year might result in something serious. 

 Our Alaskan apprentices are:

Two of the Alaskans who were trained here last year remained but a 

 few weeks witli us. 



Anik, the third one of the trained herders, remained here until Jan- 

 uary, when we discharged him for coming to the house and leaving the 

 herd alone after dark before relieved. I had found him untruthful and 

 unfaithful on former occasions, so was glad to have an opportunity to 

 make an example of him. 



During the year two others, one from this settlement and the other 

 from Nook, tried herding, but became tired and went back to their 

 homes. 



The Indian boy Moses deserves special praise and mention. He 

 left his far-away home on the Yukon River in January, 1893. Travel- 

 ing on chance sleds, he did not arrive at the station until the following 

 April. Finding he could not be kept here on account of the scarcity of 

 supplies, he lived with an Eskimo at Cape Nome until the ships came. 

 He is one of the best drivers among our herders, and is now glad he 

 did not return home last summer. 



We have chosen young men and boys for herders, because their habits 

 are not yet fixed, and we hope that when they once become accustomed 

 to the routine life of a herder they will be better satisfied and contented 

 with it than older natives would be. At first most of them were afraid 

 to herd after night, but that soou wore away, and now most of them
