Re: Eskimo words for snow

I found Mr. Woodbury's comments on Eskimo words for snow a nice
bit of solid information, after getting jumped on for making
passing reference to the idea. What I would like are the
citations for Boas and Whorf essays that explicitly address
Eskimo vocabulary. I often here many references to Boas's
writings, but as I don't have his corpus in my head, I don't
know which essay Mr. Woodbury is referring to, and if it is to
Boas's main monograph on te Eskimo, which section, considering
that it is several hundred pages?

If anyone knows the answer to this question, please reply to

Thank you,
