Description: With Commander MacMillan we visit a very different group of Eskimos, who, under Danish tutelage, call themselves Greenlanders. Men in frail kayaks, great halibut fishermen. Fish is canned locally, cans hand made by Eskimo girls. Distinctive beaded costumes; games and dances are not unlike our own.
