THE FIRST PROJECT

RELATED CONTENT

It is a fitting beginning that the first project sponsored by the Yurt Foundation is one concerned with the building of greater respect for their heritage among the Eskimo people. It is out of great respect for the Eskimo culture, their way of life, their folk wisdom and out of gratitude for what I have learned from them that I go north with this collection.

To anyone wishing more information on the Eskimo museum or the Yurt Foundation, it will be sent.

$4,000 have been promised in gifts to date for the museum conditional upon the raising of the additional $10,000 needed to complete the project. Would you like to share further in sponsoring the museum? Do you know of others who would? If you can help financially, checks should be made payable to the Yurt Foundation and sent to me at Bucks Harbor, Maine.

A new issue of the yurt plan is out as of August. It has a green sod roof (complete with goat) and more information to ease construction.

It makes me very happy to be able to offer the opportunity for you to be of use to the Eskimo people.
