Oonaleana Updates Fannie Peter on Home

Date
October 25, 1907

Oonaleana provides an update to Fannie Peter on his home in Point Barrow, Alaska. He notes that he tries to teach some others in Point Barrow English and that one of the recently returned students from Carlisle has forgotten how to speak Eskimo but they are going to teach in the Winter. Oonaleana also includes stories of hunting whales while also noting that many in the village have been sick.

Note: The person referred to here as Coogidlore is likely the student Annie Coodlalook.
