Eskimo Names.

Eskimos are not able to trace their ancestors back for more than a generation or two because the Eskimo names do not run from generation, to generation, and in every Eskimo family each person has a separate name. This is pointed out by Charles Menadalook, an Eskimo teacher, writingJn a recent issue of the Eskimo, the only publication issued for the benefit of his race.
