Yuungnaqpiallerput, The Way We Genuinely Live--Masterworks of Yup'ik Science and Survival
Seattle / London: University of Washington Press, 2007. Paperback. The Yup'ik people of southwest Alaska meet the harsh subarctic environment's challenges by following a philosophy that respects nature's resources among humans, animals, plants, and the land and sea that sustain them. The Yup'ik make use of scraps from hunts and harvests; skins of fish are fashioned into waterproof mittens. Dried grasses become insulation for socks; seal oil mixed with tundra moss becomes epoxy for caulking and gluing. Generously illustrated with full color and black and white photographs. xv, References, Index, 360 pp.
