Before the coming of tho white man stern necessity made them provide for the immediate future. The sea supplied them with most of their food, and there were wild berries and various kinds of game on the land-no vary their fish dict. By instinct in.- herlted from a long line of ancestors they are fishermen and hunters, but by contact with the Caucasian they are makers of curios and traders. ln theft new avocations they have become de- pendent ‘to n great extent upon the white people.
