Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska The Last True Eskimos in Alaskan Northwest

I know there were eskimos in the mid 50's. My dad was stationed on Thule Airforce Base in northern Greenland. He saw eskimos from the airplane just the way we saw on the movie. He said the went in a straight line. How they knew where to go was a mystery. It looks all the same.

very interesting to read about these types of hows,whys and old days life styles in Alaska. 24 hr. campfire needs more of these types of posts instead of argueing about what bullet weight or what cartridge is the new hot koolaid cartridge or favor of the month. I look forward to more of these posts. may I mention this Caribou himself has posted some real neat posts,thank you,Pete53

Enjoying these posts.
Thank you

Out in the Barrens (and elsewhere) where there are few if any landmarks, they made/make cairns, which of course are each unique unto themselves. Navigation markers. Wind. Sun.

And of course dogs have a good sense of direction if they know where you want to go.
