Download or read book A Grammar of Central Alaskan Yupik CAY written by Osahito Miyaoka and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume is a major grammar of Central Alaskan Yupik (CAY). It is the culmination of the author's linguistic studies done in Alaska and elsewhere since around 1960, with assistance of many native speakers. Central Alaskan Yupik is currently the most vigorous of the nineteen remaining Native Alaskan languages. Descriptive in nature, extensive and deep, this grammar is of typological and of ethnological/anthropological interest. Given the severely endangered state of the language, this much of descriptive linguistic material is without comparison in the field.

Download or read book Contemporary Immigration in America 2 volumes written by Kathleen R. Arnold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and local immigration issues and policies for all 50 states are thoroughly examined in this unique, up-to-date, and accessibly written encyclopedia. Immigration continues to be a timely and often-controversial subject, particularly regarding legislation at the state level. While many books cover U.S. immigration, both historical and contemporary, few if any reference works examine the role of contemporary immigration in individual states. This two-volume encyclopedia fills that gap. Chapters address legal, social, political, and cultural issues of immigrant groups on a state-by-state basis and explore immigration trends and issues faced by individual ethnic populations. The encyclopedia will enable students to research the impact, contributions, and issues of immigration for each state to make comparisons between states and regions of the United States and to understand state versus national policies. By combining the history of immigration policy with current information, the work shows readers that many of the issues making news today are the same as those the nation dealt with in past decades. Studying state and local dynamics provide a unique perspective on this history.

Download or read book Anguyiim Nalliini Time of Warring written by Ann Fienup-Riordan and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful new book, long time Yup'ik researcher Ann Fienup-Riordan teams again with Alice Rearden to bring a long-ignored oral history of warfare to light. Time of Warring combines Yup'ik oral accounts and written records to understand the dramatic history of the bow-and-arrow wars fought in southwest Alaska between 1300 and 1800 AD. Yet warfare is not the only story being told. The book also explores the cultural history of violence, retribution, and ultimately peaceful coexistence. These narratives reveal the origins of place names and architectural practices in their cultural and historical context. And great warriors and heroic women of the past are revealed and discussed. The book represents thirty years of research, discussions, and recordings with over one hundred Yup'ik men and omen--elder historians of the highest caliber. After extensive summary and contextualization from Fienup-Riordan, facing-page translations give the Yup'ik elders and culture bearers the space to tell the stories in their own words. Time of Warring is an important chapter that has long been missing in the history of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta's people.
