Place	East Haddam (Conn.)
Topic	Inuit Tents Dwellings Tools

Description	An Inuit man is seated in front of a skin tent at Hudson Bay, Canadian Arctic, ca. 1897-1912. He is identified as possibly using a flint-tipped bow drill to work on ivory. Another person is visible beside a skin tent in the background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Information from original envelope identifies this as Photo 195. Taken by Captain George Comer (1858-1937), a sealer and whaling captain from East Haddam. He went to sea while still in his teens and was later master of vessels from both New London and New Bedford. Comer participated in voyages involved in polar expeditions and was noted for his studies of Arctic peoples and their environment. Comer describes other images taken at the same time as a "native using a flint drill." This would be a type of drill known as a bow drill, with a flint tip.
