What reading level is The Labrador Eskimo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Labrador Eskimo possess an unusual ability for carving in wood (see section on art), and reproduce in that material many of the household objects of musk-ox, horn, and whalebone found in Baffin island. Buckets and cups are made of strips of larch wood bent circular and bottomed, and held tight with wooden or ivory pegs. Some older specimens from the graves are of whalebone. They also make buckets and cups of tanned sealskin sewn with sinew. These are common throughout the Hudson Bay country.... The specimens illustrated (Plate XX a and b) are from Chesterfield inlet, but do not differ from those found in Labrador. The cup or bailer in Labrador usually has a thong handle.
SCRAPERS.
The skin scraper, used on sealskins and deerskins, is found in Labrador in three definite types. Type I, a form developed -■^r Figure 29. Bone scraper made from the jaw-bone of a narwhal, from Cape Chidley. Length 5 inches. Collected by E. W. Hawkes. Di vision of Anthropology, Museum No. IV B. 477.
from the scapula of the reindeer (Plate XXII A e), which is itself often used in the summer camp, is represented by the modern 94 instrument with a wooden handle and tin or iron blade.
