The reindeer, a semi-domesti- cated relative of the caribou, first was brought to Alaska from Asia In 1891 to replace the herds of native caribou which were being depleted rapidly. The following year the United States Government Imported 1,280 reindeer and se- cured the services of herdsmen from Lapland for the purpose of teaching the Eskimos to care for tho animals, During the next few years the reindeer herds increased rapidly until they coverod an area from the shores of Bristol Bay to the Arctic Coast. A special agency known lis the Relndoor Service has been established recently in the Office of Indian Affairs to super- vise the entire reindeer enter- prise and to manage the govern- ment-owned herds until they are transferred to native control.
