Reindeer Restocking Aims to Feed Eskimos Across Arctic
The North West Territories and Yukon Branch of the Department of the Interior push a reindeer restocking plan to supply a natural fodder source for Eskimos. A E Porsild and his brother R T Porsild investigated western Arctic moss and lichens and were commissioned by the government to carry out the study. The government bought 3,000 head from Loman Brothers of Alaska and plans a trek toward Kittigazuit at the Mackenzie River mouth to stock the Kitigazuit herd and extend distribution west of Hudson Bay. The effort mirrors earlier buffalo safeguards and hinges on northern herbage beyond the barren lands.
