A nutritional assessment was conducted of the Arctic Eskimo village of Wainwright, Alaska. Nutritional information was obtained on 129 members of the village population of 308. Blood samples were measured for hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum total proteins, albumin, electrophoresis patterns, and abnormal hemoglobins. Urine samples were analyzed for thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, total nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. From the findings it would appear that the Wainwright Eskimos, aside from the anemia and marginal intakes of vitamin B6 encountered in the younger children, are in a generally acceptable nutritional state despite their harsh environment and limited resources.
