据历史学家分析,1000多年以前一批蒙古人经过白令海来到阿拉斯加,并在那儿定居下来,这就是现在的爱斯基摩人。他们以捕鲸、捕鱼为生.现在阿拉斯加爱斯基摩总数约6 000人,年人口自然增长率为3～4%,分别居住在北部沿海的劳伦斯岛、巴罗及卡克托维克等十几个村镇。本世纪40年代以前,他们的捕捞工具仍非常落后,驾驶独木船,使用手掷标枪、长矛、斧头捕鲸。50年代,美国联邦政府帮助爱斯基摩人更新捕捞设备,替换了机动船,使用50毫米冷弹标枪;80年代中期又引进了挪威发明季戊炸药标枪,这样又快又准确地杀死鲸.
According to historians, more than 1,000 years ago, a group of Mongols came to Alaska through the Bering Sea and settled there. This is now the Eskimos. They live on whaling and fishing, and now there are about 6,000 Eskimos in Alaska, with an annual natural population growth of 3 to 4%, living in the north of the island of Lawrence, Barrow and Kakovvik, respectively A village. Before the 40s of this century, their fishing tools were still very backward, driving a canoe, using hand-throw javelins, spears and axes to whale. In the 1950s, the federal government helped the Eskimos update their fishing equipment, replaced the motor boat with a 50mm cold-bomb javelin and in the mid-1980s, Norway introduced the quater’s quarry to kill the whales quickly and accurately.
