Caribou
3
July 22 Pitt Point, Alaska
we saw several large groups of caribou
The larger groups consisted of 100-200
individuals while many small groups
of 1,2 to about 25 were also seen. About
1000 caribou seen during this part of the
flight. The flight after Cape Simpson (to
Baranov) was at a much higher altitude
with limited vision below due to a heavy
fog.
Aug 15 Wainwright, Alaska
Flew from Baranov to Wainwright
today and during the flight saw
not more than 20 caribou. Groups
varied from one, to three up to about
eight.
While at Wainwright, I watched a
hunting party return and unload their
oomiak of their take of 13 butchered
caribou. They had been up the Kuke
River.
Aug 16 Another group of natives in an oomiak
returned from the Kuke. This party had
gotten 25 caribou. All were already
butchered and skinned - the skins being
on a meat pile.
Aug 17 A third oomiak returned today with an
untold amount of caribou.
