1885, Ray:[87]

Pages 37-38: The following table will show that physically the

Inyu of North American coast does not conform to the typical idea

of the Eskimo. They are robust, healthy people, fairer than the

North American Indian, with brown eyes and straight black hair.

The men are beardless until they attain the age of from 20 to 25

years, and even then it is very light and scattering, and is always

clipped close in the winter; at this season they also cut off

their eyebrows and tonsure their crown like a priest, with bangs

over their forehead. Their hands and feet are extremely small and

symmetrical; they are graceful in their movements when unincumbered

by heavy clothing.

Page 46: Physically both sexes are very strong and possess great

powers of endurance.
