It is to be hoped that this little tribe has now entered upon a period of more stable conditions. Their country is of a nature that will hardly ever be attractive to white colonists. May this fact have the effect that the Iglulik Eskimos will continue to be allowed to live undisturbed in their extensive, barren country as a small part of the present day economy of the world. If they go under, their land will probably be allowed to lie deserted, and this would be a pity, both for the people and the land.
