The cuts show the power ot the Shamans among the Esquimgux and their belief in the presence of demons .In one we see the boat resting on posts,the winter habitation, store houses, trees in the middle, the Shaman and the hunters. In another,the Shaman stands upon his lodge,and drives back the game, the deer are seen swimming in the water. In the third we see the hunter shooting the game which has been driven up to him by the demon and his assistants. The control of the Shaman over the demon is the essential part of the pictograph.
