Аннотация

The economic plight of Indians and Eskimos in the Hudson-James Bay area is partly dependent on the numbers of wild geese nesting in or migrating through their territory. The information presented on kills indicates that the number taken by native hunters is within a safe limit of what the nesting populations of that area can withstand. Expansion of wintering grounds and inaccessibility of breeding grounds assure that wild geese will continue to be an important source of food for the northern natives.
