Prehistoric and present commerce among the Arctic coast Eskimo / by V. Stefánsson.: M183-5/6-1914E-PDF
"If, with reference to the Eskimo, we are to call prehistoric all the time that antedates the first visit to them of a white man who puts on record some information concerning them, then some tribes of Eskimo even now may be in the prehistoric period, for it is not certain that there are not tribes whose very names and existence are unknown to us. From this point of view, prehistoric time may include not only to-day but to-morrow. In the following discussion, it will appear just what is meant by "prehistoric" in the case of each tribe or section of the country"--Page [1].
