REINDEER. 



Dr. Jackson, who was a Presbyterian clergyman, first visited Alaska in 1877. and after 1885 

 made yearly visits as the agent of the Education Bureau for the promotion of education in that 

 region. He soon became impressed with the belief that the sources of food supply of the 20,000 

 natives were disappearing. The white man was exterminating or driving away the whales, the 

 seals, the walrus, and the caribou, which had furnished these arctic and subarctic peoples their 

 only means of subsistence. In the summer of 1890 Dr. Jackson saw that unless help were speedily 

 given the Government would be compelled either to feed the 20,000 or to see them starve. The 

 idea came to him that reindeer might be domesticated as well in Alaska as across the straits in 

 Siberia. The white moss which is the reindeer's natural food grows as plentifully in one country 

 as in the other. When Dr. Jackson returned to Washington in the winter of 1890-91 he asked 

 Congress for an appropriation to begin the importation of reindeer from Siberia. He did not get 

 it, but he did raise $2,000 by private subscription and with this sum began his reindeer experi- 

 ment. It was a success from the first, and in 1894 Congress appropriated $6,000 to aid the good 

 work. Later on and for a series of years the appropriation was raised to $25,000 annually. This 

 enabled Dr. Jackson to prosecute vigorously the introduction of reindeer, and herds of many 

 thousands are now permanently established along the Alaskan coast.
