The anthropologist V. Stefansson lived among the Eskimos of northern Canada
for some 7 years and became an authority of primitive Eskimo life. His
reports appeared in many journals where he emphasized the excellent state of
their health and freedom from disease.

Stefansson wrote:
The partially digested plant food of the caribou stomach is removed, dressed
with oil, and eaten as a salad.

Question: If you think you are eating paleo and use the Eskimos as an
example to emulate, are you eating the stomach contents of your meat as a
salad?

People who had direct contact with early Eskimos wrote:
D.B. MacMillan wrote: After a walrus hunt, they have a dinner of raw clams
eaten right out of the stomach of the walrus.

C.M. Garber wrote: the Eskimos thrive on titmuck, which is frozen, raw fish,
reduced to a consistency requiring it to be ladled.

Dr. W.A. Thomas wrote: The diet of the Greenland Eskimo includes the meat of
whale, walrus, seal, caribou, musk ox, arctic hare, polar bear, fox,
ptarmigan, birds and fish.

Question: If you think you are eating Paleo and use the Eskimos as an
example to emulate, when is the last time you ate wild birds, seal, caribou,
musk ox, artic hare, bear or fox (raw or cooked)?

Richard MacKarness made a detailed study of Eskimos living on the polar ice,
and American Indians eating traditional diets. In their natural environments
both groups are mostly carnivorous, eating wild game including Elk and
Caribou, supplemented only by wild berries when available in season.

Where things get decidedly more interesting is his proof that Eskimos and
Indians living in their natural environments and eating traditional foods,
NEVER contract cancer or suffer from heart complaints: exactly the same as
the Hunza people in the Himalayas, despite the Eskimos and American Indians
being carnivores rather than vegetarians [like the Hunza]. Careful
investigation reveals the most likely common factor to be vitamin B17. The
caribou which form a large part of the staple diet of both groups graze
predominantly on arrow grass containing up to 15,000 mg per kilo
nitriloside, the primary source of B17. The salmon berries dried and eaten
by Eskimos and Indians alike also contain huge quantities of vitamin B17. So
in these widely differing communities vegetarians and carnivores alike can
both remain perfectly healthy. This is of particular importance to those who
are environmentally unable to take up a vegetarian diet by choice. Such a
diet would be well nigh impossible on the polar ice caps or in arid deserts.
Unfortunately for most 'civilized' western cultures, grasses and other
foodstuffs now used to feed domestic animals intended for human consumption
rarely contain more than a trace of nitriloside, though they did until
botanists and biochemists started to genetically alter our plant life. In
turn this means our secondary source of vitamin B17 (through the meat
food-chain) is fast drying up. Where The Hunza or Eskimaux get an average
individual ration of between 250 and 3,000 milligrams of vitamin B17 every
day, European folk eating 'healthy' modern foods receive barely 2
milligrams.

Question: If you think you are eating Paleo and use the Eskimos as an
example to emulate, do the animals you eat graze on arrow grass? When is the
last time you ate salmon berries when they were in season or even dried?

If someone wants to watch Eskimos in action, rent the movie Fast Runner.
Fast Runner was filmed by Eskimos for Eskimos and shows hunter gatherers in
their natual environment. They eat some of their food cooked and some raw,
in fact, one vivid scene shows a family drag a seal out through a hole in
the ice, cut it up and eat it right there on camera.
