Origin

  • The Lapps and the Eskimos are blends of Andonite and Sangik-blue races. 81:4.9
  • they are descendants of Foxhall peoples. The Foxhall peoples were farthest west and succeeded in retaining much of the Andonic culture; they also preserved their knowledge of flintworking, which they transmitted to their descendants, the ancient ancestors of the Eskimos. (64:2.5,7)
  • Eskimos are sole survivors of Urantia aborigines. Early Andonites more nearly resembled the present-day Eskimo than any other type of living human beings 61:6.3 63:4.1 65:2.7 70:1.2 81:4.9
  • About five thousand years ago a chance meeting occurred between an Indian tribe and a lone Eskimo group on the southeastern shores of Hudson Bay. 64:7.19 (79:5.7,9)

Mores

  • The ancients always sacrificed the mother’s interests for the welfare of the child; an Eskimo mother even yet licks her baby in lieu of washing. 84:7.10
  • Eskimo children thrive on so little discipline and correction simply because they are naturally docile little animals; the children of both the red and the yellow men are almost equally tractable. 84:7.21
  • The Eskimos of today still leave the penalty for a crime, even for murder, to be decreed and administered by the family wronged. 70:10.11
  • The Eskimos and early Andonites seldom were cannibalistic except in times of famine. 89:5.4

Beliefs

  • The Eskimos believe that man has three parts: body, soul, and name. 86:5.17
  • The Eskimos still believe that the soul stays with the body three days. 87:2.3
  • the Eskimos still conceive that everything in nature has a spirit. 86:5.1
  • The Andonites were early taught the golden rule, and, even today, their Eskimo descendants live very much by that code; custom is strong among them, and they are fairly free from violent antagonisms. 70:1.2
  • The comparatively recent Eskimos and Amerinds had very meager concepts of God; they believed in ghosts and had an indefinite idea of survival of some sort after death. 92:6.1
