The Eskimos of Alaska are a much finer race physically than their
kindred of Greenland and Labrador. In the extreme north, at Point
Barrow, and along the coast of Bering Sea they are of medium size.
At Point Barrow the average height of the males is 5 feet 3 inches
and average weight 153 pounds; of the women, 4 feet 11 inches and
weight 135 pounds. On the Nushagak River the average weight of the
men is from 150 to 167 pounds. From Cape Prince of Wales to Icy
Cape along the Arctic Coast and on the great inland rivers emptying
into the Arctic Ocean they are a large race, many of them being 6
feet and over in height.[93] They are lighter in color and fairer
than the North American Indian, have black and brown eyes, black
hair, some with a tinge of brown, high cheek bones, fleshy faces,
small hands and feet, and good teeth. The men have thin beards.
