Belgian Priest Likes His Bleak Alaskan Island Tununak, Nelson Island lfi Father Paul C. Deschout, Jesuit priest for 10 years on this bleak. little-known sea island, had as much difficulty learning the ways of the Eskimos here as they had becoming accustomed to his. When the Belgian-born priest was called to an outlying village to officiate at a funeral, he found the village elders sitting on a bench in the kashim. or men's house. He began shaking hands with them, moving along the line of skin-clad hunters, trying to gain their confidence. "I was halfway along the line of men." Father Paul relates, "when I found myself shaking hands with the dead man. They had brought him into the kashim for a last visit before he was buried." Father Paul has been off Nel son island only once in 10 years, and then he hurried back, home sick for his bleak island home, his tiny chapel, and the wild Es kimos he works, hunts and lives with. With his team of eight malemutes. the priest travels con stantly among the native villages. pinch-hitting in every capacity from midwife to reindeer herder. Today Father Paul was prepar ing for a trip to a remote village on the other side of the island. AU the men of this village were away on the reindeer round-up and four children were about to be born. The men wanted Father Paul to bring them news of their wives and offspring as soon as possible, and the women wanted him there with a medical kit.
