Louise Hope and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Central Eskimo" by Franz Boas is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. It provides a comprehensive ethnographic account of the Central Eskimo tribes, focusing on their geography, distribution, and way of life. The book meticulously outlines the observations and collections made by the author during his journey to Cumberland Sound and Davis Strait, as well as accounts from other explorers. The opening of the text introduces the author’s journey and foundational observations about the Eskimo tribes. Boas explains that the work is primarily based on his own research, supplemented by existing reports from other travelers. He emphasizes the significance of geography in the distribution of these tribes and outlines the seasonal migrations that dictate their lifestyle, heavily reliant on the availability of seals and other marine life. The introduction sets up a detailed examination of the tribes, their customs, and their adaptations to the harsh northern environment.
