Esquimaux leap-frog
Description
The film, photographed from a single camera position, shows buildings resembling igloos on ice floes, in front of which persons clothed as Eskimos play a game of leapfrog. From a contemporary Edison film company catalog: SCENE IN THE ESQUIMAUX VILLAGE. Ungulado. [code for telegraphic orders]. This shows several Esquimaux at the game of 'Misheetak,' or leap frog, which differs somewhat from the civilized game, and is quite amusing, the photography of which is perfect.
