Alaska had been without Musk Oxen. In the summer of 1969 the Soviet Union gave a herd of 12 to the US for repopulating the North Slope. I was inspecting the DEW Line sites in Alaska and this news was mucho importonto!

At that time the North Shore oil wells were being drilled and the Eskimos had a difficult familial problem. The lease money allowed the to buy snowmobiles. They no longer needed their huskies! Keep them as pets or eat them. In most cases they had been with these Eskimo families for many decades so they decided to feed them!

Did that work?
