From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People Only Gregorie and an old Chukchi whom we had brought with us as a guide showed any energy or seemed to have any confidence in the ultimate discovery of the party. Tent Life in Siberia The Chukchi are divided into the “Fishing Chukchi,” who have settled homes on the coast, and the “Reindeer Chukchi,” who are nomads. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 3 "Chitral" to "Cincinnati" Even the sailors struggled with the Chukchi vocabulary, and tried to teach their savage friends Swedish. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People Even a Chukchi dog can have too much of them. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People One of the officers learned to speak Chukchi fluently, and compiled a dictionary of this peculiar language. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People I had been trying it one clear cold day out-of-doors, and quite a crowd of Chukchis and Yukagirs had gathered around me to see what I was doing. Tent Life in Siberia The Chukchi were formerly warlike and vigorously resisted the Russians, but to-day they are the most peaceable of folks, amiable in their manners, affectionate in family life and good-humoured. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 3 "Chitral" to "Cincinnati" Among the many superstitions of the Wandering Koraks and Chukchis, one of the most noticeable is their reluctance to part with a living reindeer. Tent Life in Siberia One day at the end of February a Chukchi who had lost his way came on board, carrying a dog by the hind legs. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People During the two years and a half which we spent in Siberia, no one of our parties, so far as I know, ever succeeded in buying from the Koraks or Chukchis a single living reindeer. Tent Life in Siberia Macrae and Arnold had explored nearly all the region lying south of the Anadyr and along the lower Myan, and had gained much valuable information concerning the little-known tribe of Wandering Chukchis. Tent Life in Siberia Any permanent and genuine conversion of the Wandering Koraks and Chukchis must be preceded by some educational enlightenment and an entire change in their mode of life. Tent Life in Siberia It has more guttural sounds than any other Asiatic language that I have ever heard, and differs considerably in this respect from the dialects of the Chukchis and Koraks. Tent Life in Siberia The Vega soon became quite a rendezvous for the three hundred Chukchis living in the neighbourhood, and one team of dogs after another came daily rushing through the snow. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People This is shown by a comparison of a modern Chukchi vocabulary with the one compiled by M. de Lesseps in 1788. Tent Life in Siberia They had also, Kozhevin was told, an enormous tame black bear, which they allowed to run loose around the house, and which chased away the Chukchis in a most energetic manner. Tent Life in Siberia Kozhevin returned from his visit to the Chukchis north of Anadyrsk, bringing as we expected later and fuller particulars with regard to the party of exiled Americans south of Bering Strait. Tent Life in Siberia Many bands of Chukchis from the lower Anadyr had arrived at the village, but nothing had been heard of the missing men. Tent Life in Siberia Then came more Chukchis, who pulled the Swedes by the collar and pointed to the skin tents on land. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People The languages of the Chukchis and Koraks have never-been reduced to writing; nor, so far as I know, do either of those tribes ever attempt to express ideas by signs or pictures. Tent Life in Siberia The Wandering Chukchis, who visited us in the greatest numbers, were evidently the most powerful tribe in north-eastern Siberia, and impressed us very favourably with their general appearance and behaviour. Tent Life in Siberia For sixty-four days they had been living with the Wandering Chukchis, and making their way slowly and by a circuitous route towards Anadyrsk. Tent Life in Siberia Fortunately, however, there were bands of Wandering Chukchis within reach, and from them Bush succeeded in buying a considerable number of reindeer, which he caused to be frozen and stored away for future use. Tent Life in Siberia From the bridge to the bow was stretched a large awning, under which the Chukchis were received daily. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People I have seen Wandering Chukchis in a region destitute of wood and in a dangerous temperature, travel all day with aching feet rather than exhaust their strength by trying to warm them in running. Tent Life in Siberia Both Koraks and Chukchis count by fives instead of tens, a peculiarity which is also noticeable in the language of the Co-Yukons in Alaska. Tent Life in Siberia A desultory warfare then began between the Chukchis and the Russian invaders, which lasted, with varying success, for many years. Tent Life in Siberia Honesty was emphatically the best policy, and the moral suasion of a Chukchi spear developed the most disinterested benevolence in the breast of the man who stood at the sharp end. Tent Life in Siberia The ice-pack became heavier in all directions, and by October 10 the Chukchis were able to come out on foot to the vessel. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People It consisted, according to the best Chukchi intelligence, of only five men, and was located on or near the Anadyr River, about one day's journey above its mouth. Tent Life in Siberia Who they were, what they had come for, and how long they intended to stay, were questions which now agitated the whole Chukchi nation, but which no one could answer. Tent Life in Siberia The Chukchis came to Anadyrsk, I knew, every winter, for the purpose of trade, and would probably bring the two Americans with them. Tent Life in Siberia They were said to be well supplied with provisions, and had a great many barrels, which the Chukchis supposed to contain vodka, but which we presumed to be barrels of salt-beef. Tent Life in Siberia No watch was kept at the depôt, and though the Chukchis knew that valuable goods lay under the sails, they never touched a thing. From Pole to Pole A Book for Young People They might in that time have gone a hundred miles down the coast looking for a settlement, or have wandered far back into the interior with a band of Reindeer Chukchis. Tent Life in Siberia This curious iron tube which so puzzled the Chukchis we at once supposed to be a stove-pipe, and it furnished the strongest possible confirmation of the truth of the story. Tent Life in Siberia Like the Chukchis and Koraks, they are reindeer nomads, but differ somewhat from the former in their mode of life. Tent Life in Siberia The natives of whom we saw most at Anadyrsk were, as I have already said, the Chukchis. Tent Life in Siberia |
